Acoustic Vehicle Alert System (AVAS) is an artificial sound-generating system installed on electric or hybrid vehicles to alert pedestrians and other road users of the vehicle’s presence. Since electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) operate much more quietly at low speeds compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, AVAS is designed to produce audible warnings during low-speed operation, reversing, or initial acceleration. These sounds help reduce the risk of accidents, especially for visually impaired pedestrians, by mimicking engine noise or generating a synthetic but recognizable alert sound that complies with regulatory requirements.

The market for Acoustic Vehicle Alert Systems is rapidly growing, driven by the global adoption of electric vehicles and increasing road safety regulations. As more countries mandate the installation of AVAS in all new electric and hybrid vehicles, automotive manufacturers and system suppliers are prioritizing the development of standardized, yet brand-distinctive, sound profiles.

Regulatory bodies such as the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) have issued specific guidelines on sound frequency, volume, and activation conditions, prompting automakers to incorporate AVAS early in the vehicle development cycle. Beyond regulatory compliance, AVAS is also becoming a branding element—manufacturers are designing custom alert tones to create a unique acoustic identity for their electric models. The growing integration of AVAS into broader vehicle safety and human-machine interface systems reflects its importance not only as a legal requirement but also as a contributor to intelligent, inclusive, and user-friendly mobility. As the electric vehicle landscape continues to evolve, AVAS technology is expected to further advance in terms of customization, localization, and integration with sensor-based pedestrian detection systems.
