Traffic noise is a growing concern for both public health and economy of each country, especially in urban areas. The 30% of European Union citizens are exposed to traffic noise exceeding acceptable level recommended by World Health Organization [1]. Among the main sources of roadway traffic noise (such as vehicle engine and aerodynamics) tyre-pavement interaction was been found to be the largest contribution for passenger vehicles traveling at a constant speed of 35 km/h or greater. Due to the lack of predictive models of tyre-pavement noise, testing is still the main tool for investigating it. However, outdoor tests are lot time consuming and expensive, and for a faster analysis of tyre/road noise the indoor test are preferable in product development phase. Therefore, it is a need for the indoor environment to be as similar as possible to the outdoor one.

Il rumore del traffico è una preoccupazione crescente sia per la salute pubblica che per l'economia di ciascun paese, specialmente nelle aree urbane. Il 30% dei cittadini dell'Unione europea è esposto a rumore del traffico che supera il livello accettabile raccomandato dall'Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità [1]. Tra le principali fonti di rumore del traffico stradale (come il motore del veicolo e l'aerodinamica) è stato riscontrato che l'interazione tra pneumatici e pavimentazione stradale è il principale contributo per le autovetture che viaggiano a una velocità costante di 35 km/h o più. A causa della mancanza di modelli predittivi del rumore pneumatico/strada, l’attività sperimentale rimane ancora lo strumento principale per indagare. Tuttavia, i test in circuito sono molto dispendiosi in termini di tempo e costi e per un'analisi più rapida del rumore pneumatico/strada, i test in camera semi-anecoica sono preferibili nella fase di sviluppo del prodotto. Pertanto, è necessario che l'ambiente indoor sia il più simile possibile a quello outdoor. Per questo motivo, nella presente tesi, vengono analizzati nuovi materiali per la pavimentazione della camera semi-anecoica.

Abstract
Traffic noise is a growing concern for both public health and economy of each country, especially in urban areas. The 30% of European Union citizens are exposed to traffic noise exceeding acceptable level recommended by World Health Organization [1]. Among the main sources of roadway traffic noise (such as vehicle engine and aerodynamics) tyre-pavement interaction was been found to be the largest contribution for passenger vehicles traveling at a constant speed of 35 km/h or greater. Due to the lack of predictive models of tyre-pavement noise, testing is still the main tool for investigating it. However, outdoor tests are lot time consuming and expensive, and for a faster analysis of tyre/road noise the indoor test are preferable in product development phase. Therefore, it is a need for the indoor environment to be as similar as possible to the outdoor one. For this reasons, in the present thesis, new materials, for the semi-anechoic chamber pavement, are analysed. An extensive experimental activity has been carried out on different materials to characterize their acoustic properties and identify a suitable solution.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
