BS EN ISO 11819-2:2017

## BS EN ISO 11819-2:2017 - Measurement of the Influence of Road Surfaces on Traffic Noise### Comprehensive Noise Measurement Standard for Road SurfacesBS EN ISO 11819-2:2017 is the essential technical standard for evaluating the environmental noise generated by road traffic. This British Standard, which is identical to ISO 11819-2:2017, provides a standardized method for measuring the influence of different road surface types on the overall noise levels experienced by nearby communities.Accurate noise measurement is critical for assessing the acoustic performance of new road construction projects, as well as monitoring the long-term noise impact of existing road networks. This standard ensures a consistent, repeatable approach that allows for reliable comparisons between different road surfaces and locations.### Key Technical Specifications- Covers the measurement of the influence of road surfaces on the generation of traffic noise- Applicable to all types of road surfaces, including asphalt, concrete, and other materials- Specifies the measurement procedure, instrumentation requirements, and data analysis methods- Provides guidance on site selection, measurement conditions, and statistical analysis- Enables the calculation of the Road Surface Influence (RSI) index, a key parameter for evaluating noise performance### Benefits of Compliance- Ensure accurate, standardized noise measurement for road construction and maintenance projects- Evaluate the acoustic performance of different road surface types to optimize noise mitigation- Demonstrate compliance with environmental regulations and noise pollution limits- Support evidence-based decision-making for road infrastructure planning and development- Enable reliable comparisons of noise levels between sites and over time### Who Needs This Standard?BS EN ISO 11819-2:2017 is an essential reference for a wide range of professionals involved in the design, construction, and management of road infrastructure, including:- Civil engineers- Transportation planners- Environmental consultants- Acoustic specialists- Local authorities and government agencies- Road maintenance contractorsBy adhering to the comprehensive measurement procedures outlined in this standard, organizations can ensure they are accurately evaluating the noise impact of their road networks and making informed decisions to minimize environmental disturbance.
