METHODS: This study measures vehicles’noise of each section by the NCPX method that can measure noise between the road surface and the tire at the field. Total sound pressure and sound pressure level by the 1/3 octave band frequency are calculated through the field data of each section. Total sound pressure level is compared by ANOVA test statistically. After ANOVA test, post-hoc test is conducted to know mean difference of surface type by Tukey. RESULTS : As the result of CPB analysis to confirm sound pressure levels by frequency, it was shown that sound pressure levels by frequency are totally similar except for those of frequency bands between 100Hz and 500Hz. The result of ANOVA test and post-hoc test, it was shown that sections of surface type have a difference. The result of Micro Surfacing was lower 2~5dB(A) than other surface type. CONCLUSIONS: It is found that the noise reduction performance of Micro Surfacing was better than other surface type.

Generally, the traffic noise occurring on roads has emerged as an important factor that harms the residential environment. Because of the noise, residents living near roads have been causing civil complaints. Therefore, it is required to evaluate road traffic noise during the whole procedures of building an apartment, ranging from design to construction. And if an evaluated noise exceeds regulation standards, some measures to prevent the noise, such as installation of soundproof walls, and other kinds of plans should be prepared. In this point, this work measured road traffic noise in a site of housing land development, investigated its characteristics, and used a simulation program to predict outdoor noise on the basis of the data about traffic effect evaluation, design drawing, and the data about site measurement. Based on the prediction, it also predicted indoor noise. It is judged that this research will serve as an important material to establish soundproof measures on the basis of prediction of traffic noise in building an apartment.

도로교통 소음을 감소시키고자 하는 방안으로 방음벽 설치는 가장 보편적인 방안으로 사용되어오고 있 다. 하지만, 도시의 고도화로 인해 방음벽의 높이도 높아지며, 이는 주변경관을 저해시키는 요인으로 작용 하고 있다. 이에 대한 방안인 투명형 방음벽은 조류가 충돌하여 죽는 생태계 교란 문제를 발생시키고 있다. 이러한 방음시설의 한계를 극복하고자 능동형 소음 저감 기술(Active Noise Cancellation, 이하 ANC) 이 대안으로 제시되고 있다. ANC기술은 주로 헤드폰이나 차량, 항공기, 열차 내부 등 주로 내부에서 외부로부터의 소음을 저감시키는데 사용되어온 기술이며, 현재 도로 분야에 대한 적용은 기초적인 단계에 있다. 본 연구에서는 도로교통과 관련된 소음문제를 해소하기 위한 ANC용 전용 제어기를 제작하며, 제어기 H/W의 성능 실험 및 검증을 목적으로 한다. ANC 전용 제어기는 그림 1과 같이 OMAP-L137과 아날로그 신호처리 디바이스 등으로 구성되어 Working Sample이 아래와 같이 제작 되었으며 커넥터를 통해 아날로그 및 제어 신호를 처리 하도록 설계 되었다. DSP 보드는 OMAP-L137과 NAND 및 SDRAM 메모리, UART 및 이더넷 통신 칩으로 구성되어 있으며 아날로그 보드는 마이크로폰으로부터 입력 받은 신호를 증폭하는 Pre-Amp와 디지털 신호로 변화하는 ADC 및 반대로 디지털 신호를 아날로그 신호로 변환 하는 DAC 및 증폭기로 구성 되어 있다. 제작된 H/W는 ADC/DAC 입출력 신호 시험 데이터 분석을 통하여 H/W 성능을 검증하였다. 본 연구는 한국건설기술연구원 주요사업인 “전자식 도로교통 소음 저감 기술 개발”의 연구비 지원에 의해 수행되 었습니다.

도로 소음은 주행은 주행 쾌적성에 영향을 주는 중요한 요소이다. 일반적인 포장관리 시스템에서는 도로의 공용성 평가하기 위한 방법으로 포장의 파손형태, 파손의 심각도 및 파손량, 평탄성을 중ㆍ장기적으로 모니터링 등의 방법으로 유지관리 기준이 제시되어 있으나, 도로의 기능적 측면인 도로 소음을 평가할 수 있는 방안이 없다. 그림 1과 같이 이승우(2013)의 연구에서는 PLP(Portable Laser Profiler)를 이용하여 주행 중 노면조직특성인 평균프로파일깊이(Mean Profile Depth)를 측정하여 타이어-노면 소음과의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 노면조직 깊이에 따라 타이어-노면 소음의 발생 범위가 다양하며, 노면조직 깊이가 증가할수록 타이어-노면소음이 증가하는 경향을 나타내고 있다. 그러나 동일한 MPD에서 소음의 크기가 다양하게 존재하며, 상관관계식에서 분산된 형상을 나타내고 있다. 국외의 경우에는 노면조직의 형상과 깊이에 따라 소음이 다르게 측정되는 경향을 연구결과가 있으며, 다양한 방향에서 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 개발된 노면조직과 타이어-노면소음 분 석결과를 이용하여 동일한 노면조직의 형상과 패턴에 따른 소음평가하고, 노면조직의 형상과 패턴을 보다 편리하게 적용하기 위하여 노면조직의 형상 및 패턴의 지수화방안을 고찰하였다.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this study is to research the influence of road traffic noise by road slope through the analysis of the field road traffic noise and determine consideration of road slope in the case of appling active noise cancellation. METHODS: This study measures vehicle's noise by the NCPX method at the three field sections such as uphill, downhill, and flatland. Total sound pressure and sound pressure level by the 1/3 octave band frequency are calculated through the raw field data. Total sound pressure level is compared by ANOVA test and T test statistically. The results obtained are compared in accordance with the road slope and the progress of the uphill section. RESULTS : The noise characteristic of early, medium, and last parts of uphill was found to be consistent when the vehicle was travelling uphill section. The result of statistical test, it was shown that total sound pressures are not different each other. According to the comparison by the geometry, sound pressure of the uphill section was higher than those of the flatland and downhill section in high frequency band. By the result of statistical test, total sound pressure are different according to geometry in the case of high vehicle speed. In the comparison result by road slope, each sound pressure level was found to be consistent in total frequency. However, total sound pressure proportionally increased according to road slope. CONCLUSIONS: It is found that the effect of road slope on noise generation was little in this experimental sites.

PURPOSES: The purpose of study is to understand the characteristic of driving noise from the front and rear tire for effective active noise cancellation application. METHODS : As literature review, noise measurement methods were reviewed. Noise measurement conducted at three kind of section by road slope using CPX(Close Proximity Method). Noise data was compared by total sound pressure level and 1/3 octave band frequency sound pressure level. Also, each section was compared by T-test using SPSS. RESULTS : In the case of the uphill section, it was shown that the sound pressure level of the front tire at Sugwang-Ri and Sinchon-RI sections was higher than that of the rear tire in low and high frequency band. In the case of high slope section of Sangsaek-Ri, the sound pressure level of the front tire was higher than that of the rear tire in high frequency. Also, in the case of the downhill section, it was shown that the sound pressure level of the front tire at Sugwang-Ri and Sinchon-RI sections was higher than that of the rear tire in low frequency band. However, the sound pressure levels of both the front and rear tires were approximately the same in the high slope section of Sangsaek-Ri. The result of T-test showed that total sound pressures of the front and rear tires were not different from each other in the case of high slope and high speed. CONCLUSIONS: Road slope was not an important variable for effective active noise cancellation.

Among many potential problems associated with passenger cars, the problem regarded as most sensitive and important to the customers is the passenger car’s quietness. In particular, because the trend toward the high-performance passenger cars is increasing, the quietness should be considered reflecting the increasing demand of the customers for the comfort of passenger car ride. Road noises are of low-frequency in the region of 20Hz to 350Hz, generated when the tires are making contacts with the rough road surface while the passenger car is running, in which the noises are resonating within the passenger compartment or with the passenger car suspension. In this research, among the factors related to the road noises, the influencing factors associated with the suspension and the tire design were investigated. In particular, among the tire design factors, the structure and the rubber material were investigated as the influencing factors, and for the investigative purpose, experimental tires were manufactured and road noise evaluations were conducted thorough actual feeling tests. Then the test results and correlations were analyzed using the 6-Sigma statistical method.

PURPOSES: This study is to investigate a generated traffic noise when vehicle pass over a transverse rumble strip at toll plaza of highway. METHODS: To investigate traffic noise at toll plaza of highway, Pass-by method which is the most common used for measuring traffic noise was adopted and the traffic noise at toll plaza was measured for 10 min per hour for 11hours(13:00~24:00). RESULTS: The measured traffic noise by pass-by method was changed as function of the transverse rumble strip configuration. Generally, the maximum difference among three noise measurement sections was 7 dB(A). It might be related with traffic speed. Also, the measured traffic noise was strongly generated from a passenger car which was 2 axle. It means that the most of traffic noise on the road is generated at tire/pavement interface of the passenger car. CONCLUSIONS: The traffic noise was strongly related with vehicle speed and transverse rumble strip configuration on the road. For driver safety, the transverse rumble strip is definitely necessary. However, the complaints from residents near highway was increased by traffic noise from transverse rumble strip. Therefore, To satisfy both safety and reduction of traffic noise, the development of configuration of transverse rumble strip is necessary in the further study.

PURPOSES: This study evaluated a measuring technique for tire-pavement interaction noise that uses a noble close proximity (NCPX) method as well as for noise level measured inside of a car (e.g., Inside Noise Level) in term of rumble strips constructed at a tall gate. METHODS: According to the measurements of NCPX and inside noise level (INL), 1/3 octave band frequency analysis and overall noise level calculation were conducted in order to evaluate noise levels of NCPX and INL, depending on types of rumble strips. RESULTS: The tested sections of general concrete pavement surface and two different types of rumble strips were evaluated, using 1/3 octave band frequency analysis and overall noise level. From the analyzed results, it can be concluded that rumble strips generate a relatively huge noise levels when compared to the concrete pavement surface. CONCLUSIONS: Noting that above 3 dBA different noise levels can let drivers know that they are getting close to toll gate; therefore, they should apply their brakes. Thus, the noise levels of rumble strips are required to be reduced, based on considering the neighbors living near toll gates.

타이어와 포장노면과의 마찰음을 측정하기 위해서 기존 연구를 통해 신뢰성 및 일관성이 검증된 NCPX(Noble Close Proximity) 방법을 이용하여 다양한 교면포장형식에 대해 소음측정을 실시하였다. 또한 이번에 실시한 측정은 표면 마이크로폰을 이용하였다. 서울시 내부순환도로의 교면포장 일부 구간을 대상으로 포장형식에 따라서 소음측정을 하였으며, 4개의 교면포장형식에 대한 소음특성을 평가하는데 적절한 실험법임을 알 수 있었다. 시험결과 소음관점에서 차이가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 측정을 통해 교면포장 표면조건 및 주행속도에 따라 타이어와 포장노면과의 마찰음이 다르게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 1/3 옥타브 밴드 해석을 실시한 결과에 있어 교면포장의 종류에 따라 시공전후로 소음특성이 다른 것을 알 수 있었다.

최근 들어 타이어/노면 소음을 저감하기 위한 다양한 포장공법들에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이러한 저소음 포장공법들을 개발하고자 하는 이유는 도로소음이 고속주행일 경우 도로노면과 타이어에서 발생하는 소음이 지배적이기 때문이다. 대부분의 저소음 포장공법의 핵심연구는 타이어/노면 소음이 노면의 미세조직 및 거시조직의 특성에 영향을 받는다는 점을 고려하여 표층 골재의 입도, 혹은 인위적인 노면조직에 대한 소음을 작게 발생하게 하는 것이다. 이러한 연구에서 어려운 점은 특정한 노면조직 혹은 포장공법에서의 타이어/노면 소음을 평가하기 위해 도로를 건설하고 차량을 주행시켜야 하기 때문에 비용과 시간의 제약을 받는다는 점이다. 따라서 이러한 난점을 극복하고, 다양한 노면조직에서의 소음을 저비용, 단시간에 평가하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 타이어/노면 소음재현장비를 개발하였고, 무타이닝 및 횡방향타이닝 포장에 대하여 타이어/노면 소음을 재현 및 측정을 통하여 개발한 장비의 신뢰성을 검증하였다.

본 연구에서는 도로 소음 측정시 다양한 형태로 존재하는 환경소음의 영향을 최소화하고 시간과 장소의 구애 없이 공용 중인 도로 상에서도 측정 및 평가를 가능토록 하기 위해 타이어/포장 소음 측정용 Trailer 장비를 제작 개발하였다. 기존 문헌조사를 바탕으로 도로소음의 특성을 파악하고 국외의 다양한 CPX Trailer 관련 연구사례를 살펴보았으며, 장비의 설계 및 제작 원리를 정립하였다. 이를 바탕으로 HEART CPX Trailer 관련 연구사례를 살펴보았으며, 반무향실 제작에 관한 적합성, 장비의 측정 정밀도 및 현장 적용성 등의 검증을 위해 다양한 시험을 수행하였다. HEART CPX Trailer 장비의 반무향실 제작에 대한 적합성 시험에서는 각 주파수 대역별에 따른 적합성 및 신뢰도를 확인할 수 있었으며, 도로 소음특성 평가용 장비로서 적합하다고 판단된다. 반복측정 시험에서는 각 속도별 및 마이크론폰의 위치별로 우수한 측정 정밀도를 확인할 수 있었다. 공용 중인 상태에서 수행한 도로소음 측정 결과는 2003년 중앙대학교에서 교통 개방 전에 동일구간에 대해 수행하였던 CPB 측정 결과와 유사한 경향을 보였다. 이는 견인차량의 기계소음을 비롯한 공용 중인 도로 주변의 환경소음으로부터 영향을 거의 받지 않기 때문이라 판단되며, 본 장비를 활용한다면 공용 중에도 객관적인 소음 측정이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.
