Abstract:
Audio-derived information is provided to a vehicle control system of a vehicle by attaching a microphone externally to a vehicle to generate an analog signal in response to sound waves external to the vehicle. An enclosure containing sound-attenuating material mechanically filters low frequency sounds from reaching the microphone transducer. An analog-to-digital converter converts the analog signal to a digital signal. A vehicle data bus transfers the digital signal to the vehicle control system.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for providing audio-derived information to a vehicle operator or a vehicle control system of a vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:\n (a) using at least one externally facing microphone mounted in or on the vehicle to generate an analog signal in response to sound waves external to the vehicle, (b) converting the analog signal to a digital signal; and (c) communicating the digital signal to a vehicle data bus to communicate or transfer the digital signal to the vehicle operator or vehicle control system.
