Abstract (en)
A method for optimizing the speech intelligibility in a passenger compartment of a vehicle comprises establishing an acoustic room model of the passenger compartment, establishing background noise data inside and outside the compartment, establishing speaker data, determining a speech intelligibility factor on the basis of the acoustic room model, the background noise data and the speaker data at at least one first test point in the compartment; comparing the determined speech intelligibility factor with a predetermined speech intelligibility factor and modifying at least one of the speaker characteristics, the geometrical layout and acoustically active material of at least one installation in the compartment in case the predetermined speech intelligibility factor exceeds the determined speech intelligibility factor. Thereby, physical tests may be minimized and optimal speech intelligibility can be ensured.
