Rijkswaterstaat (Centre for Transport and Navigation) and the Danish Road Institute (DRI), jointly with the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI), have made a worldwide inventory of existing road surfaces for highways as well as road surfaces in development that can achieve a 10 dB noise reduction. Promising products are elastic road surfaces and a thin open graded asphalt layer. Also, suggestions in the report are made for the improvement of the noise reducing effect of the road surface, such as: the increasing of the porosity of porous asphalt with or without a 'polishing', a road surface with an elastic skeleton and an optimisation of the material used in rubber plates on railway crossings.
Summarised: no (commercial) products are known at present that can achieve a noise reduction of 10 dB compared to the Dutch reference.

The similarity algorithm calculates how much two contents in the system are similar to one another. So far, similarity is calculated based on similarity of the project type, area of interest and user type. Generally, if two contents have more parameters in common they are more similar to each another. More information.
