Title: TYRE/ROAD INTERACTION. A SOURCE OF TRAFFIC NOISE
Abstract: This report deals with the noise caused by the rolling of tyres on road surfaces. Information regarding tyre/road noise must however be placed in its context. For this reason other sources of traffic noise are included as well. The current Swedish recommendations regarding outdoor and indoor noise are presented. The generation of noise and its impact on people are also dealt with. In order to reduce traffic noise, measures like reduction of engine and transmission noise, changes in tyre design, choice of road surfacings and design of embankments and barriers are discussed. Finally, the cost of these traffic noise reductions is calculated. (TRRL)
