Introduction
The Quiet Pavement Pilot Program will evaluate the highway traffic noise reduction benefits gained from the use of various pavement types and/or textures. However, safety and durability remain the most important factors in pavement type and/or texture considerations. Accordingly, this data acquisition plan includes the collection of data not only related to highway traffic noise characteristics but also to the safety and durability aspects of the associated pavements. The plan is intended to collect data necessary to accomplish the following:
Data Collection
All data should be collected and analyzed in general conformance with ANSI S12.8-1998 and ANSI S1.13-1995 and FHWA's procedures, Measurement of Highway-Related Noise (FHWA-PD-96-046).
Data Analysis
All data should be collected and analyzed in general conformance with ANSI S12.8-1998 and ANSI S1.13-1995 and FHWA's procedures, Measurement of Highway-Related Noise (FHWA-PD-96-046).
