This study investigated the hypothesis that estimates of infant auditory threshold are lowered by extending the duration of individual test trials such that infants have more time to detect and respond to the acoustic signal. Forty 8- and 12-month-old infants were evaluated with an operant procedure to determine response latencies at four near-threshold levels. Resulting data were used to estimate the effect of trial duration on threshold by calculating the response performance that occurred at several intervals following signal onset. Findings indicate that most detection responses occurred in the initial 4 sec of the test trial, and use of an 8-sec trial interval yielded little gain in performance. The data reflect an insignificant shift (<5.0 dB) in threshold as a function of extended trial intervals.

The changes in the seismic signals generated by avalanches recorded at three sites along a path at the Vallée de la Sionne (VdlS) experimental site are presented. We discuss and correlate the differences in the duration, signal amplitudes, and frequency content of the sections (Signal ONset (ON), Signal Body (SBO), and Signal TAil and Signal ENd STA-SEN) of the spectrograms with the evolution of the powder, transitional and wet snow avalanches along a path. The development of the avalanche front was quantified using the exponential function in time F (t) = K’ exp (β t) fitted to the shape of the signal ONset (SON section of the spectrogram. The speed of the avalanche front is contained in β. To this end, a new method was developed. The three seismic components were converted into one seismic component (FS), when expressing the vector in polar coordinates. We linked the theoretical function of the shape of the FS-SON section of the spectrogram to the numerical coefficients of its shape after considering the spectrogram as an image. This allowed us to obtain the coefficients K’ and β. For this purpose, the Hough Transform (HT) was applied to the image. The values of the resulting coefficients K’ and β are included in different ranges in accordance with the three types of avalanche. Curves created with these coefficients enable us to estimate the development of the different avalanche types along the path. Our results show the feasibility of classifying the type of avalanche through these coefficients. Average speeds of the avalanches approaching the recording sites were estimated. The speed values of wet and transitional avalanches are consistent with those derived from GEODAR (GEOphysical Doppler radAR) measurements, when available. The absence of agreement in the speed values obtained from seismic signals and GEODAR measurements for powder snow avalanches indicates, for this type of avalanche, a different source of the measured signal. Hence, the use of the two measuring systems proves to be complementary.

This study assessed the potential effectiveness of two warning onset rules for lane change Crash Avoidance Systems (CAS). A minimum-separation rule triggers a driver warning whenever the Subject Vehicle (SV) and Principal Other Vehicle (POV) are within some minimum lateral separation distance. A turn-signal onset rule triggers a driver warning when the driver activates the turn signal indicator and there is a vehicle in the blind spot. A software program to simulate lane change crashes determined the maximum time available for driver surprise reaction time to the warning and estimated the proportion of crashes avoided with each warning rule. Results indicate that the minimum separation rule is unlikely to be effective for lane change crash avoidance but may help prevent lane-drift-related crashes. The turn-signal onset rule will likely be effective for drivers who use their turn signals but is not free of nuisance alarm problems. Recommendations for lane change CAS research and development are provided.
