Abstract: Secondary, non-driving related tasks commonly occur during the operation of vehicles, lowering the degree to which visual attention is directed toward the task of driving. The purpose of this thesis was therefore to explore potential manners in which auditory alarms may be improved during tasks which mimic the demands of monitoring an automated vehicle. Variables manipulated included the fundamental frequency, inter-burst interval, and the spectral centroid of the auditory alarms. Dependent variables included perceived urgency ratings and response times. These variables were assessed via experimental tasks including the magnitude estimations of the 27 novel alarms’ urgency, requiring participants to press a button corresponding with their perceptions of urgency associated with each alarm, and concurrent visual probability and auditory response time tasks. Findings include the affirmation of the efficacy of two of the recommended acoustic parameters for in-vehicle alarms as well as the novel addition of the spectral centroid. Specifically, main effects of fundamental frequency, with decreases in fundamental frequency being associated with decreases in average urgency, inter-burst interval, with decreases in inter-burst interval being associated with increases in average urgency, and increases of spectral centroid providing increases in average urgency (with Medium being optimal). Furthermore, inter-burst interval and the spectral centroid both significantly affected response times, with decreases in inter-burst interval yielding faster responses and increases in the spectral centroid (with Medium being optimal) providing faster responses.
