19 Noise Abatement State of the art Silent Pavements Advanced Noise Reduction Rob Hofman Dienst Verkeer en Scheepvaart (DVS)

20 Pavements used by Rijkswaterstaat Dense asphalt concrete (Single layer) Porous asphalt Two layer Porous asphalt Thin Layer Asphalt (DAC) (SLPA) (TLPA) (TLA) 20

21 Dutch Pavements used on motorways > 80% Porous asphalt, ~ km TLPA 21

22 Current Situation 22

23 Porous Asphalt Mix - Bitumen 70/ % (= on 100% aggregate) - Polymer modification None - filler < mm containing 25% hydrated lime - void content 20% On sieve desired max. min mm mm mm mm mm mm ,5 cm coarse grade layer (0/16) 23

24 Porous Asphalt + Noise reduction No rutting problems No aqua planing Less splash and spray High appreciation of road users - Higher maintenance costs Lower initial skid resistance Not for use under high stress Winter maintenance Broken windscreens 24

25 IPG-products Two layer porous asphalt Thin Layers 25 2 nd

26 Two Layer Porous Asphalt 2,5 cm fine graded Top layer (2/6 or 4/8) 4,5 cm coarse grade Bottom layer (11/16) Polymer modification used, mainly SBS 26

27 Two Layer porous Asphalt compared to SLPA + Noise reduction High appreciation of road users High appreciation of citizens - Lower durability Large spread in product quality Limited construction season Carriageway broad construction 27

28 Results TLPA Acoustic Durability TLPA 4/8 TLPA 2/6 28 Noise level [db(a)] time [years] 2 nd

29 TLPA Acceptance Opinion Road Authority: - It is not durable and therefore expensive - Construction causes traffic jams - Noise reduction is lost after a few years Opinion Road User - Positive Opinion Road Neighbour - Positive 29

30 IPG TLPA-advice TLPA ready for use on the Dutch Main Network if it is a cheaper alternative than the current noise reducing measures life cycle cost analysis for several alternatives TLPA 30 SLPA + Noise Barrier
