Motion sickness similar to carsickness can be studied in moving base simulators by restricting vision. This research suggests simulators are viable for studying motion sickness, especially for future autonomous vehicles.

Area of Science:

  • Human-computer interaction
  • Automotive engineering
  • Human factors psychology

Background:

  • Motion sickness, commonly known as carsickness, poses challenges in transportation.
  • Simulator sickness can occur in virtual environments, necessitating careful experimental design.
  • Understanding motion sickness is crucial for the future of autonomous vehicles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if motion sickness analogous to carsickness can be induced in a moving base simulator.
  • To assess the efficacy of restricted vision in preventing simulator sickness.
  • To evaluate the potential of simulators for future carsickness research.

Main Methods:

  • Sixteen participants were exposed to 15-minute lateral sinusoidal motion (0.2 Hz and 0.35 Hz) in a moving base simulator.
Keywords:

  • Vision outside the simulator cabin was restricted to mitigate simulator sickness.
  • Motion sickness was measured using an 11-point scale.

    • Main Results:

    • Average motion sickness scores were 2.21 (0.2 Hz) and 1.93 (0.35 Hz).
    • The increase in motion sickness over time mirrored findings from studies using actual vehicles.
    • Restricted vision successfully prevented simulator sickness.

    Conclusions:

    • Moving base simulators, with appropriate visual restrictions, can effectively induce motion sickness comparable to carsickness.
    • Simulators offer a controlled environment for studying motion sickness.
    • This methodology can inform future research on motion sickness in autonomous vehicles.
