Cars, Trucks, & Quieter Pavements TRB ADC40 Noise & VibrationCommittee Meeting July 9-12, 2006
Truck Noise Update Work since July 2005: • Analysis of truck noise source testing using beam-forming • Additional truck tire OBSI testing • Implications of results
Truck Noise Reduced Less by Pavement Changes Possible Reasons: • Contribution of noise sources different for cars & trucks • Truck tires behave differently than passenger car tires
Indicated Source Regions on a Tractor/Trailer Composite of Approximate Source Locations
Truck Tire OBSI Tests at the NCAT Test Track • 7 Truck Tire Designs + 1 Car Tire • 8 AC Pavements • 45 mph
Truck Tire Categories Trailer Drive Axle Steering

Future Work • Improve Source Localization - NCHRP 8-56 • Improve Car & Truck “Model” (OBSI & Passby) • Coast vs. Cruise at Higher Speeds • Census of Traction vs. Highway Drive Tires • Develop Surrogate Test Tire
