Description

[0002] In recent years, with the development of automotive vibration and noise control technology, traditional research on automotive sound pressure level can no longer fully meet consumers' demands for automotive ride comfort. More and more researchers have turned to the study of automotive acoustic quality, that is, people's subjective feelings about noise in a specific environment. Acoustic quality can be quantified through the measurement and calculation of psychoacoustic parameters. Currently, most research methods for automotive acoustic quality focus on establishing prediction models between subjective evaluation results and objective psychoacoustic parameters.

[0003] In the prior art, Zhang Jiaochao, Yoon, etc. used the multiple linear regression method to establish a fitting model between objective acoustic parameters and subjective evaluation results, and conducted acoustic quality analysis on automotive transmissions and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems (HAVC). Shen Xiumin, etc. used the backpropagation (BP) neural network to establish an acoustic quality prediction model. This method has a good non-linear mapping relationship, but due to the uncertainty of the initial weights and thresholds, the stability of the prediction results is poor. In addition, Sun Liwen, etc. studied the acoustic quality of in-vehicle noise under full-throttle acceleration conditions, Huang Haibo, etc. studied the acoustic quality of in-vehicle noise under constant-speed driving conditions, and Yang Yi, etc. studied the acoustic quality of in-vehicle wind vibration noise under different opening degrees of the sunroof and left and right side windows.

For example, the prediction of the acoustic quality of in-vehicle noise under different rain conditions still faces challenges, and the existing methods are difficult to achieve ideal prediction effects and have poor stability. In addition, the cost of traditional wind tunnel tests is high and it is difficult to carry out on a large scale.

[0059] Existing sound quality prediction methods, such as multiple linear regression and traditional BP neural networks, although they can establish the relationship between subjective evaluation results and psychoacoustic objective parameters to a certain extent, due to the uncertainty of the initial weights and thresholds, the stability of the prediction results is poor. This makes it difficult to ensure the consistency and reliability of the prediction results in practical applications. In complex environments, such as different rain conditions and vehicle speeds, existing sound quality prediction methods are difficult to achieve ideal prediction effects. These methods often ignore the dynamic characteristics of aerodynamic noise and the complex influence of environmental factors, resulting in large deviations in the prediction results. In addition, traditional wind tunnel tests are costly, difficult to carry out on a large scale, and difficult to simulate the noise characteristics under various complex environmental conditions. <00>

[0066] Further as an optional implementation manner, obtain the aerodynamic noise signals under different driving scenarios, and generate the average sound pressure level spectrum of the window surface corresponding to the aerodynamic noise signal through numerical simulation, which specifically includes:

[0067] S1011. Collect the aerodynamic noise signals under different rain conditions and vehicle speeds;

[0068] S1012. Simulate the unidirectional flow field without rain through the Realizable k-ε turbulence model, add the discrete phase model DPM to simulate the two-phase flow field with rain, and establish a numerical simulation environment;

[0069] S1013. Select multiple monitoring points on the window surface, perform transient calculations on each monitoring point to obtain the transient pressure pulsation signal, and calculate the time-domain pressure signal of each monitoring point through the FW-H acoustic model;

[0070] S1014. Window and perform fast Fourier transform on the time-domain pressure signal to obtain the pulsating pressure spectrum of each monitoring point, and then determine the average sound pressure level spectrum of the window surface according to the pulsating pressure spectrum.

[0071] Specifically, referring to the GB / T 18697—2002 standard, a SAVANT MI-7016 data collector and a microphone were used to collect in-vehicle noise signals under different rain conditions and vehicle speeds. The microphone was arranged at the left ear of the driver, with the vertical position being 0.70 ± 0.05 m above the intersection line of the seat surface and the headrest surface, and the horizontal position being 0.20 ± 0.02 m to the right of the longitudinal section of the seat. Noise signals were recorded at vehicle speeds of 80 km / h, 90 km / h, 100 km / h, 110 km / h, and 120 km / h under rainless, light rain (2.5 mm / h), moderate rain (8.0 mm / h), and heavy rain (16.0 mm / h) weather conditions, for a total of 20 groups. The Realizable k-ε turbulence model was used to simulate the unidirectional flow field under rainless conditions, and the discrete phase model (DPM) was added to simulate the two-phase flow field under rainy conditions. Several monitoring points were selected on the surface of the left front window, transient calculations were performed and the FW-H model was enabled, 0.5 seconds of data was taken after the calculation, the pulsating pressure spectra of each monitoring point were obtained, and the average sound pressure level spectrum of the left front window was obtained through Fourier transform.

[0072] Further as an optional implementation manner, the psychoacoustic parameters include loudness, roughness, flutter, sharpness, speech intelligibility, speech interference, and sound pressure level.

[0073] Specifically, seven psychoacoustic parameters such as loudness, roughness, flutter, sharpness, speech intelligibility, speech interference, and sound pressure level were extracted from the noise data obtained from the real vehicle road test, and these parameters will be used as the input of the subsequent BP neural network.

[0074] Further as an optional implementation manner, the aerodynamic noise signal was quantitatively scored to obtain the corresponding sound quality evaluation value, which specifically includes:

[0075] S1021. The aerodynamic noise signal was quantitatively scored by multiple professionals using the grading method to obtain multiple subjective evaluation scores;

[0077] S1023. When the average correlation coefficient is greater than or equal to the preset first threshold, determine the mean of the current subjective evaluation scores as the sound quality evaluation value;

[0078] S1024. When the average correlation coefficient is less than the first threshold, screen out the current subjective evaluation scores according to the Spearman correlation coefficient, and return to the step of calculating the Spearman correlation coefficient between each pair of the current subjective evaluation scores.

[0079] Specifically, the collected noise signals are quantitatively scored using a grading method, and the evaluators are 20 researchers majoring in vehicle engineering. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient is used to verify the accuracy of the subjective evaluation results to ensure the consistency and reliability of the evaluation results.

[0080] Further as an optional implementation manner, the occupant compartment aerodynamic noise sound quality prediction method further includes the step of optimizing a BP neural network based on an improved whale optimization algorithm, which specifically includes:

[0081] S201. Initialize the weight parameters and threshold parameters of the BP neural network, generate corresponding multiple individuals, and construct an initial population;

[0082] S202. Update the positions of each individual in the current population by surrounding the prey, attacking with a bubble net, and searching for prey;

[0083] S203. Calculate the fitness values of each individual after the position update, sort the individuals in descending order according to the fitness values, and select the first half of the individuals as the elite individual set;

[0084] S204. Calculate the reverse solutions of each individual in the elite individual set and determine the fitness values of the reverse solutions;

[0085] S205. Select the optimal individual and the worst individual in the elite individual set, calculate the mixed reverse solution, and determine the fitness value of the mixed reverse solution;

[0086] S206. Use the reverse solution / mixed reverse solution with a fitness value greater than the original individual to replace the original individual in the elite individual set to obtain the optimized current population;

[0087] S207. When the preset convergence condition is reached, determine the optimal weight parameters and optimal threshold parameters of the BP neural network according to the optimal individual in the current population, and then assign them to the BP neural network.

[0088] Specifically, the embodiment of the present invention improves the weight parameters and threshold parameters of the BP neural network by optimizing the Whale Optimization Algorithm (IWOA). First, the weights and thresholds of the BP neural network are initialized to obtain the initial population. Then, the parameters of the whale optimization algorithm are set, including the population size, the maximum number of iterations, etc. Next, the positions of the whale individuals are updated through three stages of surrounding prey, bubble-net attacking, and searching for prey in combination with the hybrid reverse learning strategy, gradually approaching the global optimal solution. Specifically, by combining the lens imaging reverse learning strategy and the optimal-worst reverse learning strategy, the positions of the initial population are iterated and optimized. That is, the individuals of the current population are sorted according to the fitness, and the first half of the individuals with larger fitness are taken. Their reverse populations (including the lens direction solution and the optimal-worst reverse solution) are calculated and compared with the original whale population. The individuals with better fitness are retained, and the better reverse population factors are introduced to enhance the global optimization ability of the algorithm. The optimized weights and thresholds are assigned to the BP neural network for subsequent training and testing, and compared and analyzed with the BP neural network before optimization to verify the optimization effect.

[0089] Further as an optional implementation manner, the BP neural network pre-optimized based on the improved whale optimization algorithm is trained according to the training samples to obtain an aerodynamic noise sound quality prediction model, which specifically includes:

[0090] S1031. Input the average sound pressure level spectrum and psychoacoustic parameters into the BP neural network to obtain the sound quality prediction value;

[0092] S1033. Update the parameters of the BP neural network according to the loss value to obtain the aerodynamic noise sound quality prediction model.

[0093] Specifically, the optimized BP neural network is trained and tested using the training samples obtained in the foregoing steps, and the prediction results before and after optimization are compared to verify the optimization effect. Furthermore, the parameters are adjusted to optimize the model performance to ensure the accuracy and stability of the prediction results.

[0094] Further as an optional implementation manner, the aerodynamic noise sound quality of the target vehicle occupant compartment is predicted according to the aerodynamic noise sound quality prediction model, which specifically includes:

[0095] S1041. Obtain the target noise signal of the target vehicle occupant compartment and determine the target average sound pressure level spectrum of the corresponding window surface;

[0096] S1042. Extract the corresponding target psychoacoustic parameters according to the target noise signal;

[0097] S1043. Input the target average sound pressure level spectrum and the target psychoacoustic parameters into the aerodynamic noise sound quality prediction model to obtain the prediction result of the aerodynamic noise sound quality in the target vehicle occupant compartment.

[0098] Specifically, in the real vehicle scenario, the aerodynamic noise sound quality prediction model can be deployed on the vehicle end (lightweight) or roadside equipment, and the aerodynamic noise sound quality prediction is performed based on the real-time collected data, so as to obtain the prediction result of the aerodynamic noise sound quality in the target vehicle occupant compartment.

[0099] The method steps of the embodiments of the present invention are described above. It can be understood that through the real vehicle road test and numerical simulation method in the embodiments of the present invention, the experimental cost is reduced. By using the improved whale optimization algorithm to optimize the BP neural network, the problems of poor stability and low prediction accuracy of the existing methods are solved, and the accuracy and stability of the prediction of the aerodynamic noise sound quality in the occupant compartment are improved.

[0100] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of the present invention also have the following advantages:

[0101] 1) Improve prediction stability and accuracy: The traditional BP neural network has problems such as slow learning speed, poor generalization, and instability. This solution improves the global optimization ability and stability of the algorithm by introducing the improved whale optimization algorithm (IWOA) and combining the hybrid backpropagation learning strategy. Specifically, through the lens imaging backpropagation learning strategy and the best-worst backpropagation learning strategy, the positions of the initial population are optimized, and the convergence speed and optimization ability of the algorithm are improved. This improvement makes the optimization of the weights and thresholds of the BP neural network more efficient and stable, thereby improving the overall performance of the prediction model.

[0102] 2) Efficient and economical experimental method: The traditional wind tunnel test has a high cost and is difficult to carry out on a large scale. This solution greatly reduces the experimental cost through the real vehicle road test and numerical simulation method. Specifically, the SAVANT MI-7016 data collector and microphone are used to collect the in-vehicle noise signals under different rain conditions and vehicle speeds, and the noise distribution in different environments is simulated through the numerical simulation method. This method not only improves the flexibility and efficiency of the experiment but also can more accurately capture the noise characteristics in complex environments.

[0103] 3) Multi-dimensional psychoacoustic parameter analysis: This solution uses seven psychoacoustic parameters, such as loudness, roughness, flutter, sharpness, speech intelligibility, speech interference level, and sound pressure level, as objective evaluation indicators, which can comprehensively and meticulously analyze the subjective feelings of in-vehicle noise. Through the correlation analysis of these parameters, the sound quality can be predicted more accurately. Specifically, through the extraction and analysis of psychoacoustic parameters and the combination of the grade scoring method for subjective evaluation, the consistency and reliability of the evaluation results are ensured.

[0104] 4) Wide applicability and flexibility: This solution is applicable to a variety of complex environmental conditions, such as different rain conditions and vehicle speeds, and can effectively handle various noise scenarios. In addition, by improving the whale optimization algorithm, the global optimization ability and maturity of the algorithm are improved, and the flexibility and adaptability of the algorithm are enhanced.
