Abstract

Rumble areas are patches of rough, coarse road surface which are designed to produce aural and tactile stimuli inside the vehicle with the intention of alerting drivers and when desirable, causing them to slow down. Simulator experiments to find a suitable noise pattern were followed by a study of the chosen rumble area configuration at three sites.
