Abstract

Motion sickness is inevitable and affects human in many situations mainly during travelling on a moving vehicle such as car, plane, boat, and train. In an autonomous vehicle, there is certainly going to have a high probability of motion sickness to occur due to the passengers might want to do non-driving related tasks such as reading and watching videos, which is among of the many reasons why motion sickness happens. Therefore, it is getting important to quickly identify the best treatment approach because the most effective treatment currently is by taking medication, which is not good because it gives side effects such as felling sleepy and tired. The purpose of this study is to develop a wearable anti-motion sickness device that can alleviate the symptoms of motion sickness such as nausea and dizziness. Substantial statistical analysis was performed after the fabrication process and on-road user testing. Evaluation was based on the Motion Sickness Assessment Questionnaire (MSAQ) scoring from four participants with two conditions tested, which is wearing and not wearing the wearable device while reading in a moving car. The responses obtained from the MSAQ scores were analyzed using theWilcoxon Signed Ranked Tests. It was found that the results proven that there is an insignificant difference between pre-test and post-test with a condition of wearing the anti-motion sickness device when comparing the median and p-values. Meanwhile, in condition of not wearing the anti-motion sickness device, the data shows a significant difference between pre-test and post-test. This means that the participants experience little or no motion sickness when wearing the device as opposed to not wearing the device.
