Abstract

Driver receives the acceleration and the rotational stimulations when negotiating with a curve. In such a situation, the driver controls his/her posture such as the head and the body appropriately. Beside, it is pointed out that the head movement of the passenger is opposite to the driver. Moreover, by the fact that the driver does not get carsickness comparing with the passenger, it is suggested that the driver's head movement may be related to the decrease of carsickness and improvement of the ride comfort. Therefore, we build the mathematical model of the motion sickness and investigated the relation between the head movement and the motion sickness incidence. In addition, we simulate motion sickness incidence using driver's head movements measured in the experiments with a real car. From the result, it is shown that the head tilt movement of the driver's head movement has an effect to decrease the motion sickness.
