PoroElastic Road SUrface: an innovation to Avoid Damages to the Environment (PERSUADE)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2015,
Low-noise road surfaces are recognized as a cost-effective tool for traffic noise abatement. The best performance can be achieved by optimizing surface texture and porosity. That way, a bottom line of a 3dB lifetime average reduction with respect to ordinary asphalt has been reached. Any progress must resort to another noise-relevant characteristic i.e. elasticity by which the noise due to tyre v ...

Acoustically Green Road Vehicles and City Areas (CITYHUSH)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
"The CITYHUSH project will support city administrations in the production and implementation of noise action plans according to the directive EC 2002/49.The identified hot spots and noise acting plans made with the existing technology suffer from major shortcomings:1. poor correlation between hot spots with annoyance and complaints;2. most measures lead to increased emissions;3. only indoor noise ...

From Roof to Road - Innovative recycling of bitumen felt roofing material (From Roof to Road)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,
...ly 60% of the total weight of felt roofing waste collected during the project was extracted as a reusable bitumen aggregate containing small uniform grain (grit) of up to 8 mm. The project partner NCC Roads tested the product in its laboratories and applied it in ten on-site test mixes. This work demonstrated that the recycled bitumen can be successfully used for most grades of asphalt and passed ...
