چکیده

Research on driver perception and interpretation of auditory signals has generally been conducted under conditions of low-to-moderate ambient in-cab noise. In a series of four experiments, the effects of various ambient noise conditions on the perceived meaning of auditory signals were investigated. Noise conditions that may be realistically anticipated in the course of normal driving altered the perceived urgency and meaning of signals. The presence and extent of such changes was a function of the specific auditory signal, the ambient noise condition, and their interaction. The results indicate that in-vehicle auditory signal design criteria developed only under low-to-moderate ambient noise conditions are not likely to be sufficient. The significant signal-by-ambient noise interaction further suggests that multiple noise backgrounds must be considered.

Auditory Alerts in Vehicles: Effects of Alert Characteristics and Ambient Noise Conditions on Perceived Meaning and Detectability

Two complementary studies were conducted. In Study 1 (categorical perception of alerts), a series of experiments examined the key parameters that result in listeners perceiving a given sound as an urgent warning versus other less urgent message categories. Initial perceptual sorting experiments identified the most significant parameters and subsequent driving simulator experiments confirmed and...

Background: The main result of hearing impairment is reduction of speech perception. Patient with auditory neuropathy can hear but they can not understand. Their difficulties have been traced to timing related deficits, revealing the importance of the neural encoding of timing cues for understanding speech. Objective: In the present study psychoacoustic perception (minimal noticeable differen...

Estimating the Mode Shapes of a Bridge Using Short Time Transmissibility Measurement from a Passing Vehicle

This paper reports on the analysis of the signals sent by accelerometers fixed on the axles of a vehicle which passes over a bridge. The length of the bridge is divided into some parts and the transmissibility measurement is applied to the signals recorded by two following instrumented axles. As the transmissibility procedure is performed on the divided signals, the method is called Short Time ...

Non-auditory Effects Caused by Environmental Noise Pollution

Noise pollution is one of the prominent environmental problems affecting human health especially in developing countries. The impacts of noise on health should not be underestimated. Exposure to acoustical stimuli impairs not only the function of auditory system but also that of many other systems of human body. Previous investigations revealed that noise exposure could result in sleep disturba...
