Review of Motion Sickness Evaluation Methods and their Application to Simulation Technology
نویسنده
چکیده
Seasickness or motion sickness (kinetosis) is not only an issue at sea, but on rails as well. Unlike vibration discomfort, no clear guidelines exist for assessing motion sickness. Recent developments such as tilting technology and increased passenger demands regarding comfort have led to higher requirements for rolling stock equipment and infrastructure. This article presents a tool for assessing train design with respect to motion sickness at the engineering stage.

Introduction: Motion sickness is a normal response to real. Perceived or anticipated movement. Although the prognosis is excellent it may be incapacitating for people with an occupation that requires constant movement, such as a flight attendant, pilot, astronaut, or ship crew members. The symptoms progresses from initial dizziness to vomiting. Fortunaterly most symptoms disappear once the stim...

متن کاملA Review and Evaluation of Statistical Process Control Methods in Monitoring Process Mean and Variance Simultaneously
In this paper, first the available single charting methods, which have been proposed to detect simultaneous shifts in a single process mean and variance, are reviewed. Then, by designing proper simulation studies these methods are evaluated in terms of in-control and out-ofcontrol average run length criteria (ARL). The results of these simulation experiments show that the EWMA and EWMS methods ...
