Abstract

This study investigates the noise reduction effects of various road pavement methods to mitigate traffic noise caused by the increasing proximity between roads and residential areas in urban environments. The noise characteristics of four types of road pavement-Dense Asphalt Concrete (DAC), Double Layer Porous Asphalt Concrete (DLPAC), Transverse Tining Concrete (TTC), and Exposed Aggregate Concrete (EAC)-were evaluated using CPX close-proximity noise and pass-by noise measurements. The CPX measurements showed that noise levels increased logarithmically with vehicle speed for all pavements. Specifically, DLPAC demonstrated higher noise levels in the low-frequency range below 800 Hz and lower noise levels in the high-frequency range, which is attributed to resonance effects within the internal pores of the pavement and the reduction of compression and expansion noise. In pass-by noise measurements, DLPAC exhibited higher low-frequency noise compared to DAC, likely due to pavement durability deterioration and the influence of external environmental noise. The results indicate that the CPX measurement method is more effective in evaluating road noise performance as it better reflects the impact of vehicle speed. However, since the study was conducted under limited site conditions, further research across various sites and conditions is necessary to enhance reliability.

본 연구는 도심지에서 도로와 주거지역 간의 근접성 증가로 인해 발생하는 교통 소음을 저감하기 위해, 다양한 도로포장 방법의 소음 저감 효과를 비교 분석하였다. Dense Asphalt Concrete(DAC), Double Layer Porous Asphalt Concrete(DLPAC), Transverse Tining Concrete(TTC), Exposed Aggregate Concrete(EAC) 등 4가지 도로포장에 대해 CPX 근접소음 및 통과소음 측정을 통해 소음 특성을 평가하였다. CPX 측정 결과, 모든 포장에서 주행속도 증가에 따라 소음이 로그 함수 관계로 증가했으며, 특히 DLPAC 포장은 800 Hz 이하의 저주파수 대역에서 소음이 높고, 고주파수 대역에서는 소음이 낮아지는 특징이 나타났다. 이는 DLPAC 포장의 내부 공극에 의한 공명 효과와 압축 및 팽창 소음의 감소에 기인한 것으로 분석된다. 통과소음 측정에서는 DLPAC 포장이 DAC 포장보다 저주파수 대역에서 더 높은 소음을 나타냈으나, 이는 포장 상태의 내구성 저하와 외부 환경 소음의 영향을 받은 것으로 판단된다. 연구 결과, CPX 측정 방법이 주행 속도의 영향을 잘 반영하여 도로 소음 성능을 평가하는 데 더 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 다만, 본 연구는 제한된 현장 조건에서 수행되었으므로, 추후 다양한 현장과 조건에서 추가적인 연구를 통해 신뢰성을 확보할 필요가 있다.
