Development of Mode-Wise Noise Prediction Models for the Noise Generated Due to Tyre-Pavement Surface Interaction

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the noise generated due to tyre-pavement surface interaction for various modes and to develop a noise prediction model for each mode by taking into account various factors affecting the noise generation. Eight asphalt pavement and four cement concrete pavement stretches were selected for measurement of the noise. Tyre-pavement interaction noise was measured using controlled pass-by method by eliminating the noise generated from engine and the vehicle exhaust systems. Noise levels were measured as a function of vehicle type, vehicle speed, loading condition, pavement temperature, direction of wind, and type of pavement. The influence of each of these variables are analyzed and quantified in this paper. The vehicle speed is found to be the most significant variable affecting the noise generated due to tyre-pavement surface interaction followed by other variables. Further, individual noise prediction models are developed for each mode in each survey location and a combined tyre-pavement interaction noise model is developed for each mode for both asphalt and cement concrete pavements.

Influencing Parameters on Tire–Pavement Interaction Noise: Review, Experiments, and Design Considerations

“…Sidewall vibrations increased with load (Reiter and Eberhardt, 1974 [45]). Tread/texture impact could be enlarged as loading changes the shape of the tire near the contact patch [5]. More deformation of air pockets in the contact patch increased air pumping (Dare, 2012 [46]).…”

“…Landers makes a major change in the pitch sequencing process by breaking the segments into groupings of the same size pitch that in turn make up segments of the tire circumference that are different sizes. 5 Williams, 1994 [172] (US Patent 5314551)…”

“…For example, good traction performance is desired for inboard side while handling is valued for outboard Mr. Landers makes a major change in the pitch sequencing process by breaking the segments into groupings of the same size pitch that in turn make up segments of the tire circumference that are different sizes. 5 Williams, 1994 [172] (US Patent 5314551) 3 Buddenhagen, 1952 [170] (US Patent 2612928) segment comprises 45 degrees of the tire circumference. Each segment is however made up of different pitch lengths.…”

Literature review of tire-pavement interaction noise and reduction approaches

“…In India, the noise pollution is also regulated by CPCB (2000) [80] and framed under the Environment Act 1986 [81], as shown in Table 1.…”

Exploración de las condiciones del pavimento a partir de la señal acústica producida por un vehículo circulando

“…A medida que aumentan tanto la velocidad del coche y el número de revoluciones del neumático por unidad de tiempo, se incrementa también la velocidad de interacción entre las supercies de la rueda y la vía. Esto provoca un incremento en generación de ruido por impacto y también un mayor bombeo y succión de aire por la banda de rodadura del neumático (Syamkumar et al, 2013).…”
