Sirene Detection

The acoustics inside vehicles are being constantly optimized to improve the driver's comfort, but this means that important external sounds are perceived less clearly. Perceiving or not perceiving these noises can have a significant impact on the driving style and thus become a safety risk.

The listening vehicle recognises the signals of an approaching siren from the police, fire brigade or rescue service and informs the driver whether the emergency vehicle is approaching from the front or from behind. In addition, the vehicle gives instructions to the driver via the clearly arranged HMI, for example to approach on the right or - on motorways - to form a rescue lane.

The listening vehicle is a decisive step forward in vehicle development. It significantly increases the driver's safety and at the same time ensures pleasant and stress-free driving, as sirens can no longer be ignored accidentally.

360° Sirene Detection

The acoustics inside vehicles are being constantly optimized to improve the driver's comfort, but this means that important external sounds are perceived less clearly. Perceiving or not perceiving these noises can have a significant impact on the driving style and thus become a safety risk.

The listening vehicle not only recognizes the signals of an approaching siren, but can also locate it within a 360° radius. In this way, the driver is prepared for the arrival of the emergency vehicle and can react appropriately to the situation. In addition, the vehicle gives instructions to the driver via the clearly arranged HMI, for example to approach on the right or - on motorways - to form a rescue lane.

The listening vehicle is a decisive step forward in vehicle development. It significantly increases the driver's safety and at the same time ensures pleasant and stress-free driving, as sirens can no longer be ignored accidentally.

Voice Control

In addition to the detection and localization of sirens, the listening vehicle can also contribute significantly to the driver's comfort in everyday life. For this purpose, voice recognition and control are crucial. Currently, the test vehicle opens the trunk automatically on the command "Open trunk!“. This function offers a great advantage in many everyday situations, for example when shopping.

The listening vehicle is a decisive step forward in vehicle development. Particularly in the context of the progressive development of automated vehicles, comfort functions are becoming increasingly important and will play an important role in shaping the driving experience of the future. fka is convinced of the high relevance of the listening vehicle and would like to continue its intensive research in this field in the future.
