    Brief

    This contract seeks research and development services to investigate the effectiveness of train horn signals as warnings in critical safety situations. The project aims to address the knowledge gap regarding how well individuals can perceive train horn signals under various conditions, such as environmental factors and distance. Current studies show inconsistent results due to differing assumptions and parameters, highlighting the need for a comprehensive evaluation. The findings will be crucial for the future automation of rail vehicles, providing a quantitative basis for technical systems to determine when and how effectively acoustic warnings can be perceived in dangerous situations.
