Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System with AutoDevKit™

STMicroelectronics Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System with AutoDevKit™ is a solution designed to emit vehicle warning sounds and alert pedestrians to the presence of quiet electric and hybrid vehicles. Quiet vehicles entail risks not to be acoustically detected by pedestrians and cyclists in the lower speed range. The noise emitted by electric and hybrid vehicles can easily be masked by the urban background noise. Therefore, guidelines have been developed in terms of an exterior noise required for detecting Quiet Road Transport Vehicles (QRTV). This solution is designed to address these guidelines.
