Abstract
As living standards improve, the demand for quiet and comfortable environments is increases. However, noise sources are rising due to population growth, urbanization, and industrialization. One solution to this problem is low-noise asphalt pavement, which has fewer installation regulations and can reduce noise at the source. Despite its advantages, there are few evaluation cases and no domestic guidelines for low-noise asphalt pavement. This study aims to evaluate the overall performance of low-noise asphalt pavement on roads in Seoul, focusing on average noise levels, skid resistance, and permeability. Noise measurements were conducted using a digital noise analyzer according to the Ministry of Environment's standards. Results indicated that noise reduction was maintained for 1 to 2 years but decreased over time. Skid resistance, assessed with the British Pendulum Tester, showed excellent performance with values above the standard of 57 in the initial stages after paving. Permeability, evaluated using the KS F 2394 method, was initially effective across all sections but declined over time.
