This study examined the effect of passengers' active head-tilt and eyes-open/closed conditions on the severity of motion sickness in the lateral acceleration environment of cars. In the centrifugal head-tilt condition, participants…
It is known that car drivers tilt their head toward the center of a curve. In addition, drivers are generally less susceptible to carsickness than are the passengers. This paper uses a mathematical model to investigate the effect of the…
A mathematical model of motion sickness incidence (MSI) is derived by integrating neurophysiological knowledge of the vestibular system to predict the severity of motion sickness of humans. Bos et al. proposed the successful mathematical…
Autonomous personal mobility vehicles (APMVs) are novel smart mobility devices designed to provide automated individual transportation in indoor or mixed-traffic environments. However, in such environments, frequent pedestrian avoidance…
Advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS) are primarily designed to increase driving safety and reduce traffic congestion without paying too much attention to passenger comfort or motion sickness. However, in view of autonomous cars, and…
As in automated driving the driver becomes a passenger, carsickness might reduce comfort for susceptible individuals. Insights in the prevalence of carsickness and its modulating factors are considered useful for the development of…
The acceptance of automated driving is under the potential threat of motion sickness. It hinders the passengers' willingness to perform secondary activities. In order to mitigate motion sickness in automated vehicles, we propose an…
Head motion is a key determinant of motion comfort and differs substantially from seat motion due to seat and body compliance and dynamic postural stabilization. This paper compares different human body model fidelities to transmit seat…
Motion sickness (MS) has long been a common complaint in road transportation. However, in the era of driving automation, MS has become an increasingly significant issue. The future intelligent vehicle is envisioned as a mobile space for…
The ability to engage in other activities during the ride is considered by consumers as one of the key reasons for the adoption of automated vehicles. However, engagement in non-driving activities will provoke occupants' motion sickness,…
In this simulator study, we adopt a human-centered approach to explore whether and how drivers' cognitive state and driving environment complexity influence reliance on driving automation features. Besides, we examine whether such reliance…
Driver distraction is a well-known cause for traffic collisions worldwide. Studies have indicated that shared steering control, which actively provides haptic guidance torque on the steering wheel, effectively improves the performance of…
The problem of Motion Sickness (MS) among passengers significantly impacts the comfort and efficiency of In-Vehicle Infotainment Systems (IVIS) use. In this study, we innovatively designed SimPath, a visual design to effectively mitigate…
Driver's cognitive ability at a given moment is the most elusive variable in assessing driver's safety. In contrast to other physical conditions, such as short-sight, or manual disability cognitive ability is transient. Safety regulations…
Carsickness has gained significant attention with the rise of automated vehicles, prompting extensive research across on-road, test-track, and driving simulator environments to understand its occurrence and develop mitigation strategies.…
Driving simulators are increasingly used in research and development. However, simulators often cause motion sickness due to downscaled motion and unscaled veridical visuals. In this paper, a motion cueing algorithm is proposed that reduces…
Understanding and mitigating drivers' negative emotions, stress levels, and anxiety is of high importance for decreasing accident rates, and enhancing road safety. While detecting drivers' stress and negative emotions can significantly help…
This study investigates the role of haptic feedback in a car-following scenario, where information about the motion of the front vehicle is provided through a virtual elastic connection with it. Using a robotic interface in a simulated…
It has long been suggested that neck muscle strength and anticipatory cocontraction can decrease head motions during head impacts. Here, we quantify the relative angular impulse contributions of neck soft tissue to head stabilization using…
Automated vehicles will allow occupants to engage in non-driving tasks, but limited visual cues will make them vulnerable to unexpected movements. These unpredictable perturbations create a "surprise factor," forcing the central nervous…
