| dc.description | Conclusion : Transitioning to quieter roads is both possible and urgent. Integrating porous asphalt, rubberized asphalt, or recycled plastic composites into infrastructure projects can reduce up to 85% of the sound energy generated by tire-pavement interaction. These technologies offer strong technical, environmental, and societal value. Public agencies and engineers should lead the way in implementing these solutions fully aligned with the goals of NCBMGSE-Béjaïa 2025. | |
| dc.description.abstract | One of the loudest—and most ignored—types of urban pollution that demands attention is tirepavement noise. The most promising materials for quieter roads are examined in this review: porous asphalt, rubberized asphalt and recycled plastic composites. By absorbing or lessening the sound produced when tires strike pavement, these materials can reduce road noise by 3 to 10 decibels. Although porous asphalt is the most popular, rubberized asphalt is a reliable and long-lasting alternative, and if plastic composites are improved, they can also provide sustainability benefits. We explain how these materials function, and their potential futures based on current research and real-world case studies. | |
