1 OBSI and How it is Being Used in Texas Presented by: John Wirth from TxDOT At RPUG Conference 10/28/2008

2 What is OBSI? On-Board Sound Intensity

3 Standard Method of Test for Measurement of Tire/Pavement Noise Using the On-Board Sound Intensity (OBSI) Method AASHTO Designation: TP 76-08

4 Single Probe OBSI Dual Probe OBSI

5 Single Probe OBSI 4 3

6 Research Program Goals - Construction/Pavement (CST) - Improved Designs - Safety/Durability (+)...and Quieter - Measurement Protocol...OBSI - Environmental (ENV) - Avoid Impacts = Avoid Noise Barriers - Measurement Protocol...SPB and OBSI - SPB compared to TNM Average - Seek FHWA approved adjustment in TNM Status: Collecting Data - Two OBSI systems (TxDOT and CTR) - According to AASHTO TP Standard

7 Data Collection Objectives and Work Plan Objectives - Process development - Characterize Texas pavements - Factors - Trends - Noise Families - Information support (CST- M&P) - Design guidelines - Project-level support - Facts / information exchange - Policy support (ENV) - Policy decision support - Facts / information exchange

8 Action Plan - Become familiar with OBSI - Participate in state and national OBSI discussions - Analyze data collected, try to understand data types - Test Section selection (4 8 sites / sect.) - Monitoring schedule - Collection coordination (TxDOT/CTR) - Database management

9 Action Plan continued - Test Sections tested to date by Family - PFC 24 - Other 2 - SMA 1 - Seal coat 1 - Micro-Surface 4 - PCC 8 - Additional Test Sections planned

10 TxDOT & CTR OBSI Test Sections Collected to Date - PFC 24 - Other 2 - SMA 1 - Seal coat 1 - Micro-Surface 4 - PCC 8
