Low-Noise Road Surfaces in Urban Areas

The purpose of the research mandate initiated jointly by the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO) and the Office for the Environment, Forests and Landscape (now the FOEN) from Switzerland is a study of the various significant parameters for low-noise urban road pavements, on both existing and new road sections. It is expected to provide enhanced knowledge of pavements which are simultaneously durable, economically acceptable and low-noise in urban use. The formulation of initial recommendations is intended to promote their use.
