Influence of temperature on tire-pavement noise in hot climates: Qatar case by Okan, Sirin

“…OBSI test results at various pavements with different mean texture depths of dense-graded pavement showed that the temperature coefficient varied from 0.052 dB/°C to 0.142 dB/°C. There is an apparent trend of decreasing temperature coefficient with increasing mean texture depth of dense graded asphalt pavements. …”
