Popis: It is vital to greatly reduce traffic noises emitted by motor vehicles during accelerating through determining limit values of noises and further improve technical specifications and comforts of these automobiles for automotive manufacturers. The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) R51 regulations define the noise limits for all vehicle categories, which are kept updating, and these noise limits are implemented by governments all over the world
however, the automobile manufactures need to estimate future values of noise limits for developing their next-generation vehicles. In this study, a machine learning model using the back-propagation neural network (BPNN) approach is developed to determine noise limits of a vehicle during accelerating by using historic data and predict its noise limits for future revisions of the UNECE R51 regulations. The proposed prediction model adopts the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm which can automatically adapt its learning rate to train the model with input data, and at the same time randomly select the validation data and test data to verify the correlation and determine the accuracy of the prediction results. To showcase the proposed prediction model, acceleration noise limits from six historic data are used for training the model, and the noise limits at the seventh version can be predicted and validated. As the results achieve a required accuracy, vehicle noise limits in the next revision as the future eighth version can be predicted based on these data. It can be found that the obtained prediction results are much close to those noise limits defined in current regulations and negative error ratios are reduced significantly, compared to those values obtained using a quadratic regression model. As a result, the proposed BPNN model can predict future noise limits for the next revision of the UNECE R51automotive noise limit regulations.
