Cover Story: This paper introduces a forecasting approach that utilizes an empirical information neural network, which aims to integrate a physical mechanism and data-driven method. By integrating these two methodologies, the model provides a more comprehensive analysis of how noise is transmitted and perceived inside the vehicle, which significantly improves the understanding and prediction accuracy of road noise performance. This method not only has achieved remarkable results in improving prediction efficiency and accuracy, but also makes up for the shortcomings of traditional data-driven algorithms in interpretability. View this paper
