Reducing fire deaths - a new approach to smoke alarms. Disturbingly, those most at risk of dying in residential fires are also least likely to awaken to the current smoke alarm signal, now mandatory in Australian residences. This project will develop a new alarm (using Gibsonian, naturalistic sounds and/or a voice signal) and compare its waking efficacy with the current smoke alarm. Testing will involve three vulnerable groups; sleep deprived young adults, children and alcohol intoxicated. The research is innovative with important implications for community public safety, the national and international smoke alarm industry, performance based models of building safety and our theoretical understanding of cognitive processing during sleep.

减少火灾死亡-烟雾报警器的新方法。令人不安的是，那些最有可能在住宅火灾中死亡的人也最不可能被目前的烟雾报警信号唤醒，现在澳大利亚住宅是强制性的。该项目将开发一种新的报警器（使用吉布森，自然主义的声音和/或语音信号），并将其唤醒效果与当前的烟雾报警器进行比较。测试将涉及三个弱势群体：睡眠不足的年轻人，儿童和酒精中毒。该研究具有创新性，对社区公共安全、国家和国际烟雾报警器行业、基于性能的建筑安全模型以及我们对睡眠期间认知过程的理论理解具有重要意义。
