“…Some factors that increase the likelihood of simulator sickness have been identified. These are related to the test subjects (i.e., older age, female sex, certain psychological states and traits), the test scenario (longer duration, more curves and turns, higher speeds, increased visual detail) and the technical setup of the simulator (broader field of vision, disagreement or delay between instrument operation and response of the virtual car) (Classen et al, 2011;Milleville-Pennel and Charron, 2015). Some techniques to alleviate simulator sickness have also been identified, including adaptation over time and neural or sensory stimulation (Domeyer et al, 2013;Galvez-Garcia et al, 2015).…”

“…Mid-level simulators include a vehicle mock-up in front of which is a monitor with one or more projectors. High-level simulators usually provide a viewing angle of 180 -360 degrees along with side mirrors and can move in several degrees of freedom (7). Driving simulators are very diverse in appearance and create new experiences for the driver, so the driver can expect to experience a variety of cognitive workloads.…”

“…Design characteristics and parameters in the driver simulation environment can affect various levels of driver understanding and cognition. Therefore, it is a useful tool for assessing driver capability and testing cognitive processes, as well as standardization measures (7). The study of variables and reported specifications of simulators and scenarios used in previous studies indicated that there was no convergence among studies in these specifications.…”

Context: Recently, driving simulators have been widely used in various studies in the traffic safety domain, especially to investigate the effects of a mobile phone conversation on driving performance. As the characteristics of simulators and scenarios designed in previous studies were quite diverse, the cognitive workload resulting from scenarios in each study and their effects on the results varied significantly so that it made it difficult to compare the results. Therefore, the present study was conducted aiming at providing a checklist of cognitive specification control in this category of studies by investigating the methodological characteristics of previous studies. Evidence Acquisition: The articles were searched in Springer, Elsevier, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases during 2002-2017. The author used mobile phone, cell phone, driving simulator, distraction, and mental workload keywords with the "and" and "or" operators. Based on certain criteria, 14 articles were selected among the retrieved articles. Results: Methods and purposes of articles were evaluated in terms of factors affecting cognitive function. Based on reliable and valid scientific documents, a checklist of the cognitive profile of scenarios and simulators was designed and presented in three macro domains. Conclusions: Considering various simulator designs the scenario design characteristics effective in cognitive workload, the studies were not convergent so that different aspects of the main variables were reported in various studies. Inattention to reporting these variables led to the incorrect estimation of the effects of a mobile phone conversation on driving performance.

“…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.
