Description / Abstract:
This test method describes the procedures for measuring
tire/pavement noise using the on-board sound intensity (OBSI)
method and the procedures for verification of the measurement
system. The test method provides an objective measure of the
acoustic power per unit area at points near the tire/pavement
interface.
The OBSI measurement method described herein permits
tire/pavement noise to be measured in isolation of other noise
sources allowing the noise performance of pavements to be
compared.
