点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Autonomous vehicles have found to provide significant improvements in safety and efficiency, as well as the potential to comfortably engage in other activities including work and entertainment. Motion sickness is particularly a significant source of concern in this regard, with factors ranging from demographics, vehicle kinematics to in-vehicle designs affecting the likelihood of discomfort. This study aims to (1) understanding factors inducing motion sickness in AVs (2) Evaluating individuals’ preferences between comfort and travel attributes (including in-vehicle tasks) (3) Develop and evaluate mitigation strategies for motion sickness in AVs. Insights from this research will help improve adoption of automated vehicles on the roadways.
