- Additional information
- The paper reports results from a work package of an EU FP7 funded research programme that was carried out mostly at the Open University. This article looked at road and rail traffic noise experienced by sensitive receptors at the vicinity of the road by considering the intervening ground surface. Our studies have shown that a periodically patterned or rough surface can assist in reducing noise by vehicles, particularly tyre noise. This article reported model measurements and computational models to understand the mechanisms at play here and to be able to design the surface roughness for a given intruding noise spectra.
