Development of a Feed-Forward Audio-Visual Notification System for Reducing Motion Sickness in Autonomous Vehicles

초록

To mitigate motion sickness occurring in seat positions where driving conditions cannot be predicted due to the changed interior structure of autonomous vehicles, a feed-forward audio-visual notification system was developed. The design, implemented in the driving environment, provides information through ambient light and notifying sound by predicting signal processing information, including steering angle and turn signals, to address the audio-visual impact of changes in the vehicle's direction, speed, and acceleration with feed-forward alerts. The correlation model between psychological and physiological responses was developed through measurements such as MSQ, MISC, EEG, fNIRS, and HRV during driving, quantifying the degree of motion sickness and improvement situations. The effect of visual variation by ambient light and the customized effect of notifying sound were combined to compare and analyze the degree of motion sickness reduction following the installation of the notification system.
