Tire/pavement noise is a matter of increasing concern in industrialized countries. It is also a functional factor that is making its way into the considerations for pavement type selection. Much has been learned about pavement acoustics in the past five to eight years with the development of the On-Board-Sound-Intensity (OBSI) measurement methodology. OBSI allows pavement engineers to examine pavement acoustics in great detail. This paper deals with the reasons behind the interest on tire/pavement noise, the increase in numbers of units developed for testing OBSI, a description of the OBSI measurement method, and generic results of quieter pavement research.
