PURPOSES : This study is to predict the Sound Pressure Level(SPL) obtained from the Noble Close ProXimity(NCPX) method by using the Extended Kalman Filter Algorithm employing the taylor series and Linear Regression Analysis based on the least square method. The objective of utilizing EKF Algorithm is to consider stochastically the effect of error because the Regression analysis is not the method for the statical approach. METHODS : For measuring the friction noise between the surface and vehicle's tire, NCPX method was used. With NCPX method, SPL can be obtained using the frequency analysis such as Discrete Fourier Transform(DFT), Fast Fourier Transform(FFT) and Constant Percentage Bandwidth(CPB) Analysis. In this research, CPB analysis was only conducted for deriving A-weighted SPL from the sound power level in terms of frequencies. EKF Algorithm and Regression analysis were performed for estimating the SPL regarding the vehicle velocities. RESULTS : The study has shown that the results related to the coefficient of determination and RMSE from EKF Algorithm have been improved by comparing to Regression analysis. CONCLUSIONS : The more the vehicle is fast, the more the SPL must be high. But in the results of EKF Algorithm, SPLs are irregular. The reason of that is the EKF algorithm can be reflected by the error covariance from the measurements.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the effectiveness of an active noise cancellation (ANC) system in reducing the traffic noise level against frequencies from the predictive model developed by previous research. The predictive model is based on ISO 9613-2 standards using the Noble close proximity (NCPX) method and the pass-by method. This means that the use of these standards is a powerful tool for analyzing the traffic noise level because of the strengths of these methods. Traffic noise analysis was performed based on digital signal processing (DSP) for detecting traffic noise with the pass-by method at the test site. METHODS : There are several analysis methods, which are generally divided into three different types, available to evaluate traffic noise predictive models. The first method uses the classification standard of 12 vehicle types. The second method is based on a standard of four vehicle types. The third method is founded on 5 types of vehicles, which are different from the types used by the second method. This means that the second method not only consolidates 12 vehicle types into only four types, but also that the results of the noise analysis of the total traffic volume are reflected in a comparison analysis of the three types of methods. The constant percent bandwidth (CPB) analysis was used to identify the properties of different frequencies in the frequency analysis. A-weighting was applied to the DSP and to the transformation process from analog to digital signal. The root mean squared error (RMSE) was applied to compare and evaluate the predictive model results of the three analysis methods. RESULTS : The result derived from the third method, based on the classification standard of 5 vehicle types, shows the smallest values of RMSE and max and min error. However, it does not have the reduction properties of a predictive model. To evaluate the predictive model of an ANC system, a reduction analysis of the total sound pressure level (TSPL), dB(A), was conducted. As a result, the analysis based on the third method has the smallest value of RMSE and max error. The effect of traffic noise reduction was the greatest value of the types of analysis in this research. CONCLUSIONS : From the results of the error analysis, the application method for categorizing vehicle types related to the 12-vehicle classification based on previous research is appropriate to the ANC system. However, the performance of a predictive model on an ANC system is up to a value of traffic noise reduction. By the same token, the most appropriate method that influences the maximum reduction effect is found in the third method of traffic analysis. This method has a value of traffic noise reduction of 31.28 dB(A). In conclusion, research for detecting the friction noise between a tire and the road surface for the 12 vehicle types needs to be conducted to authentically demonstrate an ANC system in the Republic of Korea.

본 연구에서는 도로 포장 유지관리에 필요한 핵심정보를 생산해 낼 수 있는 저비용·고효율 포장상태 모니터링 기술을 개발하고자 하였다. 특히 시각정보와 고가 센서에 의존하는 기존 장비의 단점을 보완하기 위해 소음과 인공지능 기반의 포장상태등급 평가시스템을 고안하였다. 시스템 개발을 위한 아이디어 정립부터 기능 정의, 정보흐름 및 아키텍쳐 설계 과정을 거쳤으며, 생산된 프로토타입에 대한 성능 검증과 활용 전주기에 대한 실증 평가를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 높은 수준의 인공지능 평가 신뢰도가 확보되었으며, 하드웨어와 소프트웨어적 요소 외에도 시스템 활용에 관한 짜임새 있는 가이드라인이 개발되었다. 또한 현장평가 과정을 통해 비전문가도 쉽고 빠른 조사와 분석이 가능하고, 직관적인 시각적 정보 제공을 통해 관리자의 업무 지원이 가능함도 확인하였다. 반면에 학습에 고려되지 않은 외부 조건에 대한 선행 판별 기술, 시스템 간소화, 가변 주행속도 대응 기술 등 기술의 완성도 제고도 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 시작으로 1960년대 이후 반세기 이상 지속되어온 포장상태 모니터링 기술의 새로운 패러다임이 제시되길 기대한다.
