While driving simulators are a valuable tool for assessing multiple dimensions of driving performance under relatively safe conditions, researchers and practitioners must be prepared for participants that suffer from simulator sickness. This paper describes multiple theories of motion sickness and presents a method for assessing and reacting to simulator sickness symptoms. Results showed that t...

Older drivers desire independence in mobility, and automated vehicles hold plausible opportunities to realize this goal. Motion sickness (automated shuttle exposure) or simulator driving may affect acceptance of these technologies. This study investigated the onset motion older (mean age = 74.29, SD 5.96; female 54%) after exposure an assessed sex as determinants and/or sickness. Using a repeat...

TECHNICAL) This report has characterized performance in terms of attention and memory, categorizing extrinsic mechanisms mediated by ACTH, norepinephrine and dopamine, and intrinsic mechanisms as cholinergic. The cholinergic role in memory and performance has been viewed from within the limbic system and related to volitional influences of frontal cortical afferents and behavioral responses of ...

The majority of studies into visually induced motion sickness (VIMS) either use complex motion scenarios or are limited to single-axis motion. This study compared VIMS during singleand dual-axis motion. Twelve participants were exposed to (i) oscillating roll motion, (ii) linear motion in the anterior-posterior axis, and (iii) spiral motion, i.e. the summed direction of both of these flow vecto...

We report the findings of a panEuropean study on the factors which provoke motion sickness on tilting trains. The findings also highlight tactics passengers may use to ameliorate their malaise. Some readers may recall that the tilting train programme under development in the UK some 30 years ago was halted because of a combination of technical problems and reports of high levels of motion sickn...

The motion of ships is move up and down or shocking on the high seas caused by large continuous waves can cause symptoms illness in form dizziness, nausea even vomiting which often termed as seasickness (sea sickness sickness). In this research, a study was conducted results calculations simulations vertical acceleration LNG ship's movement so that it could be seen performance ship crew comfort...

The aim of this study was to determine whether trigeminal nerve discharge associated with painful stimulation of the temple would intensify symptoms of motion sickness in migraine sufferers. If so, this would support the notion that symptoms such as nausea and headache interact with each other during attacks of migraine. Symptoms of motion sickness were rated at 2 min intervals during 15 min of...

Motion sickness (MS) is a syndrome characterized with nausea and vomiting, pallor, cold sweating, headache, dizziness, increased salivation, apathy, hyperventilation, and stomach awareness. Nausea is one of the most prominent symptoms of MS and very little known about the neural substrate of this sensation. There is no abrupt accepted explanation about why people get motion sickness. It has lon...

Visual search within a head-fixed display consisting of a 12 X 12 digit matrix is degraded by whole-body angular oscillation at 0.02 Hz (+/- 155 degrees/s peak velocity), and signs and symptoms of motion sickness are prominent in a number of individuals within a 5-min exposure. Exposure to 2.5 Hz (+/- 20 degrees/s peak velocity) produces equivalent degradation of the visual search task, but doe...

The goal of the study was to determine the effect of a 1-h hour long forklift truck virtual simulator driving on the mechanism of autonomic heart rate (HR) regulation in operators. The participants were divided into 2 subgroups: subjects with no definite inclination to motion sickness (group A) and subjects with a definite inclination to motion sickness (group B). Holter monitoring of electroca...
