摘要: Noise is an important issue in freight delivery. In the implementation of the Off-Hour Delivery (OHD) Project, the noise problem became increasingly prominent. Effective noise control not only facilitates OHD, it also improves the community environment and drivers physical and psychological health. In pursuit of this goal, the project team investigated existing technologies and policies on noise reduction. Technologies such as the CNG engine, electric engine, foam coating, aluminum floors, and smart reverse alarms were studied. Their advantages and disadvantages are presented. Most of these technologies are currently used in Europe, but not yet adopted by the U.S. market. To gather information from candidate vendors, requests for information were issued and responses were carefully examined. The team also collected public opinions on freight noise and field noise data. The transferability and effectiveness of noise control technologies are discussed. It was found that there is great potential for most of the technologies to be smoothly introduced into the U.S. market to effectively facilitate the OHD program implementation.
