Influence from horizontal and/or roll motion on nausea and motion sickness Experiments in a moving vehicle simulator
background, aims, methods, results) max 200 words: Tilting trains reduce the perceived lateral acceleration for the passengers by tilting the car-body to improve the ride comfort. However, some susceptible passengers may experience nausea. To study the influence from either lateral accelerations and/or simultaneous roll motions, a simulator study was undertaken. About 40 subjects were taking pa...
متن کاملMotion-related comfort in tilting trains
background, aims, methods, results) max 200 words: Low frequency vertical accelerations can provoke motion sickness and nausea in ships and aeroplanes and probably, combined with horizontal (lateral) acceleration, also in cars and buses. However, tilting trains and banking aeroplanes generate roll motions, which may provoke motion sickness in motion sickness sensitive humans. Some seventy healt...
متن کاملMotion sickness in tilting trains Description and analysis of the present knowledge Literature study
background, aim, method, result) max 200 words: Carbody tilting is today a mature and inexpensive technology allowing higher speeds in curves and thus reduced travel time. The technology is accepted by most train operators, but motion sickness is an issue still holding back the full potential of tilting trains. Evidence of motion sickness has been reported in air, in space, at sea, on cars, on ...
متن کاملTilting trains Description and analysis of the present situation Literature study
background, aim, method, result) max 200 words: Growing competition from other modes of transportation has forced railway companies throughout the world to search for increased performance. Travelling time is the most obvious performance indicator that may be improved by introducing high-speed trains. Trains with capability to tilt the bodies inwards the curve is a less costly alternative than ...
متن کاملDeterminants of Motion Sickness in Tilting Trains: Coriolis/Cross-Coupling Stimuli and Tilt Delay
Faster trains require tilting of the cars to counterbalance the centrifugal forces during curves. Motion sensitive passengers, however, complain of discomfort and overt motion sickness. A recent study comparing different control systems in a tilting train, suggested that the delay of car tilts relative to the curve of the track contributes to motion sickness. Other aspects of the motion stimuli...
