| Abstract | During the period October 1986 through April 1994, the U.S. Department of Transportation, Research and Special Programs Administration, John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, in support of the Federal Highway Administration and 17 sponsoring State transportation agencies conducted the National Pooled-Fund Study (NPFS), HP&R 0002-136, "Evaluation of Performance of Experimental Highway Noise Barriers". The first publication supporting the NPFS, FHWA-RD-90-105, "Parallel Barrier Effectiveness: Dulles Noise Barrier Project", presented the results for parallel barriers subject to controlled traffic conditions. The second publication, FHWA-RD-92-068, "Parallel Barrier Effectiveness Under Free-Flowing Traffic Conditions", presented the results for parallel barriers located along Interstate 495 in Montgomery County, Maryland. This report is the third and final publication supporting the NPFS. In addition to presenting the results of additional analyses of previously collected data, it summarizes the findings of the multi-year study. |
