Work Package 6 deals with environmental impacts of PERS use, including noise and rolling resistance. This report covers preliminary noise tests performed in the laboratory and at the road test sites. The obtained results indicate that PERS material reduce noise considerably - up to 12 dB in comparison to SMA16 reference surface. Noise reduction properties are especially visible in the case of factory produced PERS slabs supplied by HET Germany. Noise reduction properties of PERS remained almost unchanged after a 3 months long winter time period. Rolling resistance is an important factor in vehicles’ fuel consumption as well as emission of CO2 and toxic gases like (NOx, CO). This report covers also rolling resistance tests of PERS performed in the laboratory and on the road. The results indicate that PERS material may reduce rolling resistance in comparison to road surfaces used as references.
