Summary
This paper outlines the objectives, structure, and expected outcomes of the 2nd Workshop on Multimodal Motion Sickness Detection and Mitigation Methods for Car Journeys, held at AutomotiveUI ’23. The research is motivated by the impending adoption of automated vehicles (AVs), which transforms drivers into passengers engaged in non-driving related tasks (NDRTs) such as reading or working. This shift, combined with potential interior redesigns, is expected to exacerbate motion sickness—a condition characterized by symptoms like nausea, dizziness, and vomiting that can persist throughout a journey and negatively impact passenger comfort and task engagement. The primary problem addressed is the lack of consensus in the field regarding study design and methodologies, which hinders the comparability and replication of research findings. The workshop aims to bridge this gap by bringing together experts from automotive, neuroscience, human-computer interaction, and psychology domains. The methodology involves a structured 3.5-hour session designed to facilitate reflection and discussion on current practices. Participants, expected to number around 30, engage in presentations of their own methodologies, followed by group discussions focused on specific aspects of study design. These topics include the selection of NDRTs, motion profiles used to induce sickness, measurement techniques (subjective and objective), the interpretability of findings based on different motion sickness theories, and the distinction between passenger-centric and vehicle-centric mitigation strategies. The workshop builds upon findings from a previous iteration, aiming to identify the advantages and disadvantages of commonly used methods. The paper does not present empirical results from a completed study but rather describes the planned process and anticipated outcomes of the workshop. The core activity involves small-group discussions where participants evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of various methodologies, followed by a final plenary session to summarize outcomes. The organizers intend for these discussions to form the basis of a shared review paper and a set of guidelines for motion sickness research. The goal is to establish a consensus on best practices for study design, measurement, and mitigation strategies, thereby improving the reliability and replicability of future research. The significance of this work lies in its potential to standardize motion sickness research, which currently suffers from high variability in experimental conditions, tasks, and measurement tools. By establishing clear guidelines and fostering collaboration across disciplines, the workshop aims to accelerate the development of effective detection and mitigation strategies. This consensus is critical for ensuring comfortable travel experiences in AVs, addressing a major barrier to the widespread acceptance and safety of automated transportation systems. The expected deliverables—a review paper and methodological guidelines—are intended to help researchers design more successful studies and facilitate direct comparison between findings from different research groups.
