Driver's vehicle horn use and its effects on other drivers and pedestrians: A case study in South Korea
In previous studies, questionnaire surveys were used to investigate the current circumstances of vehicle horn use and its effects on drivers and pedestrians in Japan. Several cities in other countries face more serious noise problems related to the use of car and motorbike horns. In urban areas of S...

In previous studies, questionnaire surveys were used to investigate the current circumstances of vehicle horn use and its effects on drivers and pedestrians in Japan.

Measurements of noise at crossroads with heavy traffic revealed frequent horn use with high sound pressure level. In such areas, it is necessary to clarify the current circumstances of vehicle horn use, including its effects. Therefore, a survey on such use, similar to the previous work, was carried out.
