The vehicle's warning sounds are one of the important parts of overall vehicle quality, so the study of these sounds is increasing. In this study, the experiment of reproducing performance related to speaker position was studied. Based on the result of jury test, sound analysis method was developed to reflect the perception of warning sound according to vehicle speed and the development process of warning sounds was suggested.

The vehicle's waning sounds are used for the purpose of informing the specific situation to the driver. In the past, the warning sounds were developed in terms of a simple notification. With the increasing importance of the emotional quality of vehicle, the research in terms of sound quality has been actively conducted. The desired sounds are dependent upon customer expectation and usage requirements. And it based on cultural or regional difference and personal preference. In this paper, the preference study considering the sale region and personal preference is introduced. Jury test for subjective evaluation are carried out and the difference in preference is analyzed.

모터로 구동되는 전기자동차에서 발생하는 소리의 특징은 일반적으로 내연기관 자동차보다 음압이 낮아, 보행자에게 접근하는 차량을 인지 못하는 경우가 종종 발생한다. 따라서 전기자동차에 추가적인 경고음이 필요하다. 잘 들리는 경고음을 개발하기 위해, 이번 연구에서는 화성학 이론과 신호처리를 기초로 제작하였다. 도로에서 측정된 배경소음은 합성된 신호에 추가되었다. 주관적 평가로 이 경고음의 인지성을 측정하였다. 심리음향 이론과 주관적 평가를 통해 인지성과 관련된 요소를 조사하였다. 라우드니스, 샤프니스, 러프니스 등 알려져 있는 심리음향 지표는 인지성과 낮은 상관성을 가졌지만, 반대로 음의 지속구간에 높은 상관성이 있음을 발견하였다.

Recent technological advances made a vehicle more intelligent to increase safety and comfort. An intelligent vehicle provides drivers with safety warning information through audible sounds, visual displays, and tactile devices. However, elderly drivers have been known to decrease the physical and cognitive abilities such as muscular strength, hearing, eyesight, short term memory, and spatial perception. Therefore, possible age-related deficits should be considered to design an effective warning system. This paper aims to evaluate the impact of advancing age on response performance on audible safety warnings which are widely used for alerting driving hazards. In order to understand the effect of age-related hearing loss and movement slowing, three sound characteristics (frequency, intensity, and period) and three age groups (younger, middle, and older) are considered. Data was drawn from 38 drivers who drove a simulated rural road in a driving simulator. Experimental results show that age influences driver's response performance. In conclusion, the appropriate range of a warning sound is suggested.

In this paper, the VR(Virtual Reality) simulation system is developed to analyze driver's perceptive response on the ASV(Advanced Safety Vehicle). The ASV is the vehicle of next generation equipped with various warning systems. For the purpose, the VR simulation system consists of VR database, vehicle dynamic model, graphic/sound system, and driving system. The VR database which generates 3D graphic and sound information is organized for the driving reality. Mathematical models of vehicle dynamic analysis are constructed to represent the dynamic behavior of a vehicle. The driving system and the graphic/sound system provide a driver with the operation of a vehicle and the feedback of a driving situation. Also, the real-time simulation algorithm synchronizes the vehicle dynamic model with the VR database. To check the validity of the developed system, a simple scenario is applied to investigate driver's perceptive response time and vehicle acceleration on an emergency situation. It is confirmed that the proposed system is useful and helpful to design the FVCWS(Forward Vehicle Collision Warning System).

This paper presents the on-vehicle information system that displays the states of the vehicle in brief words instead of symbols. Main functions of this system include a system check function, trip function, warning function, and clock function. With this system, a driver can obtain all sorts of useful information related to various conditions of the vehicle, and if any problem arises in the vehicle, he can recognize it by the displayed words with a warning sound. Also, this system is very helpful for safety driving because it displays whatever a driver wants to have concerning trip information. By experimental test and driving test, the development system shows good results for each function.

본 연구에서는 실시간 주행환경에서 전방의 위험상황에 대해 운전자가 효과적으로 반응 할 수 있는 교통안전 경고정보 컨텐츠 도출을 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 차내 단말기를 통해 제공되는 경고정보 유형에 따른 운전자 반응특성을 분석하였다. 운전자 반응특성자료를 수집하기 위하여 DGPS를 장착한 실험차량을 이용하여 개별차량 주행궤적을 수집하여 속도 및 가감속도를 산출하였다. 차내 경고정보 유형은 사고위험성과 직접적인 연관이 있는 긴급영향권과 긴급영향권에 진입하는 차량에게 위험발생의 사전정보를 제공하기 위한 일반영향권으로 분류하였다. 컨텐츠는 시각적 정보인 Text, 이미지와 청각적 정보인 경고음, 그리고 음성 메시지를 고려하여 다양한 시나리오를 제작하여 현장실험에 활용하였다. 분석 결과 긴급영향권에서는 음성+이미지+text와 경고음+text로 구성된 경고정보를 제공하는 것이 가장 효과적인 것으로 분석되었으며, 일반영향권에서는 경고음+음성+이미지+text로 구성된 경고정보를 제공하는 것이 가장 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 운전자의 반응특성을 고려한 보다 효과적인 실시간 경고정보를 설계하기 위한 유용한 정보로 활용 될 것으로 기대된다.

In enhancing the technologies for the highly efficient and low pollution vehicles, the emitted sound by applying those techniques is degraded, which needs further vibro-acoustic tuning. The point of concern is usually related to the sound quality, and, sometimes, to the direct connection with the pedestrian safety. In this talk, a brief discussion is given to the sound quality issues on the start-stop function, cylinder-on-demand, engine down-sizing, turbo-chargers, road noise, and artificial warning sound.

The purpose of vehicle horn sound is for warning to pedestrians. In the past, the main development factor is to match the regulation level. But nowadays perceived quality is more important than level itself. In this study, we measure variety horn sound and evaluate its signals through the jury evaluation aimed at making horn sound quality index. Each contribution of the noise path for sound quality is identified and the target values and methods for implementing the luxurious horn sound are suggested. Finally, we developed, horn component and improve horn mounting condition for luxurious horn sound.

Accidents at level crossing have large portion on train accidents, and causes economical loss by train delay and operational interruption. Various safety equipments are employed to reduce the accident at level crossing, but existing warning device, and crossing barrier are simple train-oriented protection equipments. In this paper, intelligent railway level crossing system is proposed to prevent and reduce accidents. For train driver's prompt action, image of level crossing and obstacle warning message are continuously provided to train driver through wireless communication in level crossing control zone. Obstacle warning messages, which are extracted by computer vision processing of captured image at level crossing, are recognized by train driver through message color, flickering and warning sound. It helps train driver to decide how to take an action. Meanwhile, for vehicle driver's attention, location and speed of approaching train are given to roadside equipments. We identified the effect of proposed system through test installation at Sea train and Airport level crossing of Yeong-dong line.
