Re: [AI] Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System
Hi david, It would not be correct to say that there is no need of such legislative mesures in india. in recent past mahindra moters has unvailed its first electric car without giving any thoughts to Vi community. Very shortly we'll be hearing that someone has nocked the door of a compitent court crying to provide the safety against these acoustic vehicles.

[AI] Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System
Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) is an innovative warning system emitting the sound that's pleasant and perceptible to the human ear, while alerting pedestrians for the nearby presence of "Silent vehicles". Dear all Access Indians, I recently read an article on Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System which is proving to be useful to European blind people in Belgium-based New Europe Weekly news paper that compels me to share it with my fellow Access Indians. The European Parliament adopted an amendment in the month of February 2013, requiring all the European car manufacturers to equip silent cars with Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System as to avoid endangering people with sight loss that are not able to either see or hear such Silent vehicles. Electric and hybrid or so-called Silent cars are too quiet for pedestrians to detect, those cars especially pose bigger problems to blind people on the roads in European countries. Those individuals are unable to hear or see such dangerous vehicles, a fact that might result in accidents. In particular, the crash rate of Silent vehicles is twice as high as that of cars with internal combustion engine in slow speed manoeuvre conditions such as slowing down, stopping, backing up and entering in parking space. For these reasons, members of European Parliament are promoting the use of AVAS in order to reduce accidents. The European Blind Union (EBU) president Wolfgang Angermann has welcomed the decision and stated, blind and partially-sighted people have rights to be out on the streets here. I expect the minimum noise level of cars to ensure the safety of blind people that's paramount. I'm happy to see that European Parliament has listened to our voice, we demand all member states to do the same and make endeavour to commit themselves for all important requirements, he added. I personally think, in India, no such legislation is required, chiefly because the country like India have a daunting task to tackle the menace of deafening noise pollution that contributes to the increase in the number of disabled people.
