Robbins, Malcolm C. (1995): The Effectiveness of Emergency Vehicle Audio Warning Systems. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 1004-1005.

“This paper explores the effectiveness of audio emergency warning devices (sirens) fitted to public safety vehicles. The paper demonstrates why, under certain conditions, (sirens) are not effective in warning other vehicles. This lack of effectiveness is shown by both technical explanation and by an actual reconstruction of an automobile accident in which the driver failed to recognize the siren from the on-coming emergency vehicle.”
