Overview
Background & policy context:
Currently noise counts as one of the most significant sources of environmental pollution. Today, many people suffer from the burden of noisy traffic, the continuous growth of which is causing a steady increase in noise levels.
Objectives:
These are objectives of the project:
- Periodically measuring of noise levels on different test sections, having regard to already existing ones and the corresponding data.
- By means of measurements in labour and field to find correlation between specific properties of the surfaces and the noise level of different surfaces (considering the available national and international experiences).
- It is planned to take into consideration in each case the specific safety recommendations. The goal is to deduce new rudiments and guidelines, which enables an optimised design of pavements with regard to surface noise. Objectives
- Noise measurement with IVT-trailer and testing the dynamic properties of pavements
- Optimisation of pavement properties with regard to noise emission.
Finally the research shows how to improve the pavement structure or how to consider it by design.
