An interactive bi-objective optimisation process to guide the design of electric vehicle warning sounds

open access: yesDesign Science, 2022
Electric vehicles (EVs) are very quiet at low speed, which can be hazardous for pedestrians, especially visually impaired people. It is now mandatory (since mid-2019 in Europe) to add external warning sounds, but poor sound design can lead to noise ...
