Report on the testing of Brigade’s proprietary “white sound alarm” system vis-à-vis the NHTSA quiet vehicle NPRM specifications.
-Presentation by Brigade – Brussels Demonstration
As requested at the Dec. 2012 QRTV IWG meeting, Brigade constructed a demonstration of their AVAS technology. The demonstration focused on the location & directivity of the sound while minimizing the environmental impact (noise outside and inside the vehicle). The demonstration testing was conducted using existing, readily available components, not specifically developed for optimum performance. Due to time constraints the demonstration sound did not include pitch shifting. The demonstration vehicle was shown to achieve the NHTSA NPRM sound performance recommendations.
