Analysis of Road Cover Roughness on “Control” Road Section with Crumb Tire Rubber

Results of acoustic level measurements are presented in the paper. Measurements were carried out on “control” road sections in Mala Ida village (Kosice region, Slovakia) and Haniska village (Presov region, Slovakia). Descriptions of the sections, conditions of laying and technology of the mixture are given in the paper too. During the period between autumn 2014 and spring 2015 noise levels and pavement surface characteristics were investigated on experimental road sections consisting of asphalt concrete pavement with addition of crumb rubber from waste tires. The surface properties of the in-service pavement were measured to establish the characteristics of a “control” road constructed with crumb tire rubber. Correlation of the results from the measured surface characteristics in pavement with crumb tire rubber indicates that the parameters of roughness and texture could have a relevant role in global tire/pavement sound emissions.
