Abstract: The invention relates to an evaluation device (10) for a vehicle (1) for assisting a hearing impaired vehicle driver (2), comprising an input interface (11) for receiving at least one ambient noise, wherein the evaluation device (10) is configured to determine at least one position of the sound source in relation to the vehicle (1) based on the ambient noise, to anticipate a dangerous situation based on the movement of the vehicle (1) in relation to the sound source, and to generate a signal for the dangerous situation, and a first output interface (12) configured to output the signal such that the hearing impaired vehicle driver (2) can perceive it, in order to assist the vehicle driver (2) in reacting to the dangerous situation. The invention also relates to an assistance system (20), a method, and a computer program (30) for assisting a hearing impaired vehicle driver (2).

Abstract: A training system (10) for a street vehicle (1) for detecting non-automobile road users (2) based on sounds, comprising an input interface (11) for receiving target training data (12), wherein the target training data (12) are audio recordings (17) of the non-automobile road user (2) recorded by at least one microphone (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) located on the street vehicle (1) while driving the street vehicle (1), and respective associated target characteristics (18a) of this non-automobile road user (2), and wherein the training system (10) is configured to forward propagate an artificial neural network (13) with the target training data (12) and to record an actual characteristic (18b) of the respective non-automobile road user (2) determined with the artificial neural network (13) in the forward propagation, and to obtain weighting factors (14) for the connections (15) of neurons (16) in the artificial neural network (13) through backward propagation of the artificial neural network (13) with the difference (19) b
