[0002] As a core facility for controlling road traffic noise, sound barriers are widely used in scenarios such as urban roads, highways, and rail transit, effectively reducing the propagation of noise to sensitive areas through physical isolation. Currently, the evaluation of the noise reduction effect of sound barriers in the industry mainly relies on standards such as the "Code for Acoustic Design and Measurement of Sound Barriers" (HJ / T90-2004), which requires quantifying its performance by measuring the insertion loss (IL) in the field. The insertion loss is defined as the difference in the noise level at the receiving point before and after the installation of the sound barrier, which is the core index for evaluating the noise reduction effect. However, the on-site measurement of the insertion loss is limited by the actual engineering environment, the equivalence of the reference point and the receiving point before and after the installation of the sound barrier is poor, the investment in funds and time is high, the difficulty of measuring the insertion loss is large, and the accuracy is low.

Step 2 specifically includes the following steps: Select 4 independent variables, which are the center distance , the normal angle , the coverage , and the distance to the nearest end point ; List the relationship between the insertion loss of the sound barrier and the 4 independent variables: ; ; where, is the insertion loss value of the i-th sound barrier, the dependent variable, dB; is the correlation coefficient of the center distance of the independent variable for the i-th time, m; is the correlation coefficient of the normal angle of the independent variable for the i-th time, degree; is the correlation coefficient of the coverage of the independent variable for the i-th time, %; is the correlation coefficient of the distance of the nearest end point of the independent variable for the i-th time, m; are the coefficients corresponding to the four independent variables after fitting, abbreviated as: ; Among them, , , this is a non-homogeneous overdetermined equation; By constructing a least squares problem to find a non-zero solution and performing a singular value decomposition on A, we get: , Simplified to: , D is the diagonal matrix corresponding to the eigenvalues after the singular value decomposition of matrix A; ; Obtained: ; That is is what we want.

[0020] Based on the measured data matrix, the calculation formula for the insertion loss of the sound barrier obtained by quadratic regression is: , is the existing insertion loss of the sound barrier, dB.
