Abstract

As cars become more soundproof, it also becomes more difficult to hear the sirens of emergency vehicles, especially when music is playing. Many accidents have resulted from this difficulty, as drivers are unable to hear sirens until it is too late to move out of the path of the emergency vehicle so that it can efficiently and quickly move through traffic and reach its destination. By flashing a warning light and beep sound within the drivers'"'"' cars, the Acoustic Siren Detector System will allow drivers the advantage of being aware of the presence of an emergency vehicle at a distance where, in a normal situation, the driver would hardly be able to hear the siren. This advance notice will enable drivers to pull to the side of the road, clearing a path for the emergency vehicle. Not only will the Acoustic Siren Detector System reduce the number of accidents resulting from this type of situation, but it will also reduce the amount of time that it takes an emergency vehicle to reach its destination, potentially saving lives. The Acoustic Siren Detector System is advantageous to both emergency personnel and the general public.
