Current and Past Project
  • Our final goals are to clarify the causes of driver's horn use, and to propose the transportation system and the traffic environment designed to suppress driver horn use. To achieve them, we will investigate relationships between horn use and driver awareness and behavior, the vehicular environment, the transportation system comprehensively.
  • Research on application of soundscape design to apartment complex
