The SIP method is to be applied on roadways where measuring sound levels from single-vehicle pass-by events is possible without contamination from sound from othe

5、r vehicles. 1.3. This standard is intended for use by acoustic professionals. Competency with acoustical measurement and analysis techniques is assumed. 1.4. This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns

SUMMARY

37、 OF TEST METHOD 4.1. Measuring the Sound LevelIn the SIP method, the maximum A-weighted sound pressure levels of a statistically significant number of individual vehicle pass-bys are measured at a specified roadside location together with the vehicle speeds. Each measured vehicle is classified into

38、one of five categories: automobiles, medium trucks, heavy trucks, buses, and motorcycles. At a minimum, the automobile and heavy truck categories should be evaluated in order to determine the influence of each roadway surface (the other vehicle categories are optional). 4.2. Analysis of DataEach ind

39、ividual pass-by level, together with its vehicle speed, is recorded, and a linear regression of the maximum A-weighted sound pressure level versus the logarithm of the speed is calculated for each vehicle category. From this regression line, the measured vehicle sound level, Lveh, and regression unc

40、ertainty are determined at the designated speed. The measured sound level is called the measured vehicle sound level, Lveh. For each roadway surface or pavement type, the Lvehis calculated for each vehicle category. 4.3. Comparison of Data to ReferenceThe Lvehvalue is compared to the Reference Vehic

41、le Sound Level, Lveh,refusing the reference surface, both at the designated speed. The difference between the two values is calculated and reported as the Statistical Isolated Pass-by Index (SIPI). 5. SIGNIFICANCE AND USE 5.1. This test method provides an objective measure of the influence of road s

42、urfaces on vehicle noise at locations adjacent to a roadway and allows for the comparison of vehicle noise on roadways of varying surfaces by comparing measured sound levels to those representing the tire/pavement noise for a reference surface, thus allowing comparison of results across studies. 201

Use of this method, in conjunction with other measurement methods, will increase the understanding of the influence of pavement on

44、noise and eventually be applicable to pavement design and selection. 5.3. The SIP procedure reports broadband A-weighted maximum sound pressure levels. While it is possible to measure one-third octave band levels in conjunction with the broadband levels, methods to analyze the one-third octave band

45、data are not included in this procedure. 5.4. In situations where it is not possible to measure single vehicle pass-by events without contamination from other vehicles, TP 99, Determining the Influence of Road Surfaces on Traffic Noise Using the Continuous-Flow Traffic Time-Integrated Method (CTIM),

46、 or another method that allows for measuring continuously flowing traffic should be applied. The appropriate measurement technique should be selected based on site and traffic conditions. The SIP method is preferred over TP 99 due to its ability to compare results across sites and/or studies. 5.5. T

47、he SIP test method may be used in conjunction with the on-board sound intensity (OBSI) method described in AASHTO TP 76 that measures the tire/pavement component of vehicle noise exclusively. 6.
