Description

In order to investigate pedestrian safety, it is important to understand how they behave in different traffic scenarios. For reasons such as cost efficiency, consistent experimental conditions, and increased safety, these investigations are transferred to virtual environments. Recent studies have used single-source recordings of vehicles to simulate driving by scenarios. A main concern at this point was the interfering noise caused by wind, which increased with vehicle speed. This study reviews previous literature and develops five different windscreen concepts. These concepts were tested and compared in anechoic conditions with a fan that could control wind speeds. Next, one concept was selected, and a transfer function and additional low-shelf filters for wind noise reduction were investigated. Driving scenes were simulated with and without pre-editing through filtering. These simulations were recorded with a dummy head in an anechoic chamber and compared to determine the influence of the improvements introduced in this paper on physical values.
