Systems/persons Correlation Modeling. Application to Noise/annoyance Analysis

The aim of this paper is to design a generic model of the correlation between aircrafts’noises and riparian persons’annoyance. This study is in keeping with Artificial Intelligence, and it focuses on the study of the relations between systems and unvoluntary users. Beyond a mere “noise level” ! “annoyance” function, we aim at defining more precisely the causal relations between noise characteristics and the actual annoyance. Hence, we work both on annoyance cognitive models and on the general question of the correlation between artificial systems and human beings. In this paper, our contribution consists in the description of the first phase of the project: the experimental data collection program and the the theoretical tools.
