Motor Vehicle Noise Programmes in the Ministry of Transport

Authors

  • E. R. Welbourne

Abstract

Under the authority of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act, the Road and Motor Vehicle Traffic Safety Branch develops and enforces the Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS). In addition to the more obviously safety-related aspects of vehicle design and performance, these standards cover gaseous pollutant emissions and noise. The Branch also conducts an applied research programme which, while primarily concerned with the mainstream of traffic safety problems, usually includes two or three vehicle noise projects. This note outlines the current and proposed future activities of the Branch in standards development, enforcement and applied research relating to motor vehicle noise.
