Determination of the acoustic properties of markings - The CPX measurement method

This document outlines a method to measure the typical external noise emission produced when tyres of passenger car roll over a structured road marking. The result is a measure for the noise perceived in the surroundings of the road, hence not for interior noise in the car.
This method can be used for three purposes:
-   determination of initial acoustic properties of a road marking, yielding a noise label for a given system;
-   testing of the acoustic conformity of a particular marking to the noise label determined during the determination of initial acoustic properties;
-   monitoring of the acoustic properties in the course of its lifetime.
The test result allows the road owner to make an assessment of the risk of nuisance when s/he considers a particular road marking system for application on a road in a noise sensitive area, e.g. built up areas. The method is also applicable to measurements on milled rumble strips.

Messung der akustischen Eigenschaften von Markierungen - Das Nahfeldmessverfahren

In diesem Dokument wird ein Verfahren zur Messung der typischen Außengeräuschemission beschrieben, die entsteht, wenn die Reifen eines Personenkraftwagens über eine profilierte Straßenmarkierung rollen. Das Ergebnis ist ein Maß für den Lärm, der in der Umgebung der Straße wahrgenommen wird, also nicht für den Innenraumlärm des Fahrzeugs.
Dieses Verfahren kann für drei Zwecke verwendet werden:
-   Bestimmung der anfänglichen akustischen Eigenschaften einer Straßenmarkierung, die zu einer Lärmkennzeichnung für ein bestimmtes System führen;
-   Prüfung der akustischen Übereinstimmung einer bestimmten Markierung mit der bei der Bestimmung der ursprünglichen akustischen Eigenschaften ermittelten Lärmkennzeichnung;
-   die Überwachung der akustischen Eigenschaften im Laufe der Nutzungsdauer.
Anhand des Prüfergebnisses kann der Straßenbesitzer das Risiko einer Lärmbelästigung einschätzen, wenn er ein bestimmtes Straßenmarkierungssystem für eine Straße in einem lärmempfindlichen Gebiet, z. B. in einem bebauten Gebiet, in Betracht zieht. Das Verfahren ist auch auf Messungen an gefrästen Rüttelstreifen anwendbar.

Détermination des propriétés acoustiques de marquages - La méthode CPX

Le présent document décrit une méthode permettant de mesurer les émissions sonores externes typiquement produites lors du passage des pneus d’une voiture de tourisme sur un marquage routier structuré. Le résultat est une mesure du bruit perçu dans l’environnement de la route, qui ne représente donc pas le bruit perçu à l’intérieur du véhicule.
Cette méthode peut être utilisée à trois fins :
- détermination des propriétés acoustiques initiales d’un marquage routier, conduisant à une indication du niveau sonore d’un système donné ;
- essai de conformité acoustique d’un marquage donné au regard de l’indication de niveau sonore obtenue lors de la détermination initiale des propriétés acoustiques ;
- surveillance des propriétés acoustiques sur sa durée de vie.
Le résultat de l’essai permet au propriétaire de la route de réaliser une évaluation du risque de nuisance lorsqu’il envisage l’application d’un système de marquage routier donné sur une route située dans une zone sensible au bruit, par exemple dans des zones construites. Cette méthode peut également être appliquée à des mesures sur les ralentisseurs sonores fraisés.

Določanje akustičnih lastnosti oznak - Merilna metoda CPX

Ta dokument opisuje metodo za merjenje tipične zunanje emisije hrupa, ki nastane, ko pnevmatike osebnega avtomobila peljejo čez strukturirano cestno označbo. Rezultat je merilo za hrup, ki ga zaznamo v okolici ceste, torej ne za hrup v notranjosti avtomobila.
To metodo je mogoče uporabiti za tri namene:
–   določitev začetnih akustičnih lastnosti cestne označbe, da se določi oznaka za hrup za dani sistem;
–   preskušanje akustične skladnosti posamezne oznake z oznako za hrup, določeno med opredelitvijo začetnih akustičnih lastnosti;
–   spremljanje akustičnih lastnosti v času njene življenjske dobe.
Rezultat preskusa lastniku ceste omogoča, da oceni tveganje motenj, ko proučuje določen sistem označevanja cest za uporabo na cesti na območju, občutljivem na hrup, kot so pozidana območja. Ta metoda se uporablja tudi za grobe opozorilne črte.

Introduction
Structured road markings present one of several options to obtain an enhanced night time visibility
during rain or wetness. It is for this reason that they underwent a growing popularity in the last years.
Structured road markings can however also produce an increased noise emission during wheel passages,
which may be observed in the vehicle but also in the vicinity of the road. The sound increase inside the
car can be considered as a positive side effect, as it alarms the driver and may be very helpful for the
prevention of “doze off” traffic accidents. The sound increase perceived outside the car, however, may
have a positive aspect as it can warn people on the emergency lane about the approaching vehicle, but it
may as well annoy people living around.
It is desirable that a measurement method exists to assess the noise production of those road markings
during wheel passages which is representative, reproducible and generally applicable throughout
Europe. This document deals with a dedicated method which has been developed by the expert panel
“noise” of the CEN/TC 226/WG 2.
