Quieter Pavement – Acoustic Measurement and Performance
Caltrans, in cooperation with ICF & I&R, has developed a quieter pavement document:• Summarizes research from past 15+ years
• Indexes relative noise levels of ~700 pavements
• Provides best practices in acoustical design

– Reduced mid & high frequencies
– Increased low frequencies (larger aggregate)
– Additional attenuation at wayside (propagation)
– Particularly effective for trucks
