Embodiment Construction

[0029] according to figure 1 , it is assumed that the driver or occupant of the vehicle, represented by "10", sets the automatic driving mode in his / her vehicle for (at least partial) automatic driving, and activates the prediction means for predicting the probability of motion sickness (i.e., Probability of occurrence of motion sickness), which is indicated by "30", or this prediction means 30 has been pre-activated as standard.

[0030] This prediction of the probability of motion sickness is based on figure 1 This is done on the basis of a function 40 according to which the probability of nausea can be determined based on a large number of data items. exist figure 1 In the exemplary embodiment shown, these data include (but the invention is not limited thereto) map data (e.g., bends, speed limits, altitude changes), driver activity data, and driver state data (e.g., type of driver activity, last duration of activity, last duration of autonomous driving, seating configura...

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method and a device for avoiding or alleviating travel sickness in a vehicle, wherein the vehicle exhibits an automated driving mode in which the vehicle moves along at least partly in automated manner. A method according to the disclosure comprises the following steps: estimating at least one parameter that is characteristic of the probability of the occurrence of travel sickness in an occupant of the vehicle, establishing, on the basis of this parameter, at least one measure that is suitable for the alleviation or avoidance of travel sickness in the occupant of the vehicle, and communicating an item of information relating to this at least one measure to the driver.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and device for avoiding or alleviating motion sickness in a vehicle. Background technique [0002] Occupants of many vehicles suffer from nausea or motion sickness during travel. This is especially true when doing activities such as reading a book or watching a video. Conservative estimates suggest that symptoms of motion sickness occur in about 10% of the population. [0003] To date, the problem of motion sickness has mainly occurred with other occupants of the vehicle (that is, not in the driver), since these persons themselves do not have to steer the vehicle and are therefore able to perform the above-mentioned activities. The aforementioned activities are known to increase the likelihood of motion sickness occurring. [0004] However, with the gradual introduction of autonomous driving technology, since the driver of the vehicle himself becomes a passenger for a certain period of time, the frequency of...
