A METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY OF PERSONS DRIVING HIGH-SPEED VEHICLES

Area of Science:

• Physiology
• Transportation Science
• Preventive Medicine

Background:

• Modern vehicles exhibit enhanced speed and maneuverability.
• This has led to an increase in motion sickness severity.
• Existing preventive measures are insufficient for the growing problem.

Purpose of the Study:

• To highlight the increasing prevalence of motion sickness.
• To underscore the gap between human physiological limits and vehicle performance.
• To emphasize the need for advanced solutions to motion sickness.

Main Methods:

• The study reviews current data on motion sickness incidence.
• It analyzes the relationship between vehicle characteristics and passenger health.
• It assesses the limitations of current preventive strategies.

Main Results:

• Motion sickness affects 15% of land transport users, 20% of air travelers, and 30% of sea travelers.
• The psycho-physiological capacity of humans is challenged by rapid advancements in vehicle technology.
• A significant portion of the population remains susceptible to motion sickness.

Conclusions:

• Motion sickness remains a significant public health concern.
• There is a critical need to develop new strategies to mitigate motion sickness.
• Future research should focus on adapting human physiology or vehicle design to reduce sickness.
