Summary

Automated driving can fundamentally change road transportation and enhance quality of life by allowing secondary tasks. However, at present, the interaction of humans in automated vehicles is not clearly established. Besides technical and legal
requirements, the human being with its physiological boundary conditions needs to be observed in detail. The following study describes fundamental approaches to predict motion sickness in real test driving conditions. Furthermore, the properties of different secondary tasks, such as attraction and mental workload, were observed with respect to their influence on motion sickness susceptibility.
