... Conclusions and Suggested Research 79 • The variation of vertical profiles for the limited number of individual medium trucks was greater than that for heavy trucks. • The beamforming array used in this research provided better resolution and dynamic range than previous NCHRP and Caltrans studies.

... 80 Mapping Heavy Vehicle Noise Source Heights for Highway Noise Analysis Lower Speed Heavy Truck Database Expansion For heavy trucks operating at speeds below about 50 mph, the existing REMELs curve for interrupted/grade operation is well above the average measured in this research. There is also considerable scatter in the data points compared to trucks above 50 mph.
