TYRE/ROAD NOISE REFERENCE BOOK

Tyre/road noise has been identified by several major international organizations as being the component of transportation noise most urgently needing to be addressed and reduced. In 2001, the European Union introduced tyre noise emission limits and currently underway, international tyre/noise standards are being prepared. This book provides a general but comprehensive overview of the current situation and future trends. Topics covered include: Terminology of sound and noise; historical perspectives; human perception of tyre/road noise; basic information about tyres and road surface influences; vehicle construction; tyre/road noise prediction models; design of low noise road surfaces and current state-of-the-art practices; futuristic tyre and road designs; the EU Directive, and costs and benefits.
