Measurement of the Spectral Characteristics of a Road Surface

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Abstract

The intensity of the emission of the noise from tires depends largely on the structure of the road surface, which in the range of acoustic frequencies is characterized by roughness. The design and principles governing the basic modules of a device for measuring the roughness of a surface are considered. The operating indicators of the device and a technique for processing the measured signal are given.
