“…In our study, we only managed to find that gender influenced the incidence of disorientation symptoms before the simulation; men experienced them more often than women. In most of the research on gender differences, women were found to be more susceptible to sickness [ 24 , 29 , 31 , 33 ], but opposite findings were also reported [ 30 ].…”

“…Other studies suggested the influence of age, with older adults being generally more susceptible to SS [ 2 , 26 , 29 , 33 , 36 ]. Some researchers found a link between SS and specific movement patterns or postural instability, the latter of which was reported to be more prevalent in older adults and females [ 24 , 33 , 40 , 47 , 70 , 71 ]. Additional participant-related factors reportedly increasing susceptibility include lower concentration level, variable mood and energetic arousal, weaker feeling of presence in simulated environment, tendency for pain catastrophising, higher anxiety levels, neuroticism, perceptual style, Chinese ethnicity, health status, and even better aerobic fitness [ 15 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 61 , 72 ].…”

“…The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of the latter category, i.e., the participant-related variables that may influence the symptomatology of SS in a real-motion car rollover simulation as measured with the SSQ, with a focus on participants’ gender and prior experiences. A considerable body of research has been devoted to the effect of such physiological variables as participants’ gender [ 24 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ], age [ 2 , 26 , 29 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ], health status [ 4 , 37 ], or ethnicity [ 37 , 38 ], and to some psychological ones, for example pain catastrophising [ 39 ], anxiety, or neuroticism [ 14 , 38 , 40 , 41 ]. At the same time, relatively few studies have explored such participant-related factors as participants’ experiences.…”

Physical motion driving simulators serve as a valuable research and training tool. Since many simulator participants suffer from simulator sickness (SS), we aimed to gain a better understanding of participant-related variables that may influence its incidence and severity. The study involved a 2-min mobile-platform car rollover simulation conducted in a group of 100 healthy adult participants. SS was measured with the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire immediately before and after the simulation. We investigated how the symptomatology of SS varies with gender, as well as with participants’ previous experiences such as extra driving training or car accidents. Although many SS symptoms occurred already before the simulation, all the symptoms except burping had a significantly greater incidence and severity after the simulation. Before the simulation, men reported disorientation symptoms more often than women, while participants with prior experiences of extra driving training or car accidents scored significantly higher in three out of four Questionnaire components: nausea symptoms, oculomotor symptoms, and the total score. The study offers interesting insights into associations between SS and prior experiences observed by means of high-fidelity real-motion simulations. More research is needed to determine the nature of these associations and their potential usefulness, for example, in helping accident survivors to cope with the distressing or even potentially disabling psychological consequences of accidents.

“…Keshavarz et al. [16] use the classical washout algorithm proposed by Reid and Nahon to evaluate the impact motion, visual, and auditory cues have on experiencing motion sickness in driving simulators . Cleij et al [17] used classical washout to evaluate how individ-uals perceive motion incongruities, or negative cues in driving simulators.…”

This thesis presents modifications to classical washout algorithms to allow for large angular motion. This allows flight simulators with large angular motion envelopes to more effectively produce the motion cues for edge-of-envelope aircraft manoeuvres for pilot training. Classical washout is commonly used for flight simulation motion cues, but was originally designed for small simulator angular motion. With the development of the Atlas motion base allowing unbounded rotation about any axis, there is a need for washout algorithms which can exploit this extended angular motion envelope. Classical washout is implemented and the implementation is validated using numeric metrics, normalized Pearson correlation, integral of the error, and maximum error; and plots of the modelled vestibular response for the aircraft simulator pilot compared to previous reported results. This implementation is then used as a performance baseline for two proposed modifications to extend washout to larger angular motion envelopes. Large-angle washout uses quaternions and eliminates the small-angle approximations present in classical washout but continues to use highpass filters to impose restrictions on the simulator's angular motion during sustained angular velocity cues. Unrestricted angular washout removes the high-pass filters and allows for unbounded rotation about all axes. Using the numerical metrics and vestibular responses to assess the performance of the algorithms, for manoeuvres with small angular motion cues, the original classical washout algorithm designed for small angles performs best, and unrestricted angular washout has comparable performance. For manoeuvres with large angular motion cues, unbounded angular velocity washout performs best. Large-angle washout outperforms the small-angle washout for some large angular motion cues, but is outperformed by unrestricted angular washout, and performs badly for manoeuvres with small angular motion.
