Abstract
The article gives a study of factors influencing noise emissions from the interaction of the tyre and road surface. Theoretical principles of
asphalt pavements with optimised noise reducing characteristics are identified in the paper. In accordance with the experience of
implementation and exploitation of noise reducing asphalt mixtures in other European countries, two concepts of noise reducing
pavements were prepared for Lithuanian conditions. Laboratory tests were performed for these conceptual asphalt mixtures and other
asphalt mixtures with promising noise reducing characteristics. Physical and mechanical characteristics of different noise reducing asphalt
mixtures were determined, compared and evaluated. With regards to the research results, article concludes with recommendations of noise
reducing asphalt mixtures suitability for implementation in Lithuanian road network.
Keywords: tyre/road noise; noice reducing asphalt pavements; laboratory tests.
