    Abstract :

    Pavement with higher noise absorption proficiency can significantly decrease the roadway transportation noise. There has been always a need to focus on this field to build a model for the roadway pavements without damaging its capacity to mitigate the noise. Many solutions exist in the market and several proprietary products are available. Also, there are diverse methods available to assess the noise generated by traffic. These methods are extensively using in various applications areas from noise assessments to innovative study. The methods employed generally based on the nature of the work and the materials on which acoustic performance will be evaluated. Therefore, in this paper, we have studied various models and techniques that would be valuable in order to investigate the future development of road traffic noise and its consequences under Indian road conditions. Some appropriate solutions for road surfaces beyond today’s technology are investigated.
