Abstract

Engaging in non-driving-related activities such as reading, watching movies, and web browsing while in a moving vehicle is known to contribute to motion sickness. Hence, future users cannot fully utilise future autonomous vehicles if motion sickness exists. Two modality prototypes (audio and visual were developed by applying the concept of situation awareness. The audio prototype provides voice direction about the vehicle’s future turns, allowing users to receive manoeuvre information while focusing on their activities. The visual prototype lets users see what is happening in front of the moving vehicle while reading. This study was conducted to assess these two prototypes. Eighteen (18) participants took part in this study. The study used a real road experiment using the Wizard of Oz method, which involved two conditions: with and without a prototype. Motion sickness and situation awareness were assessed. The results show that both prototypes reduce motion sickness and increase situational awareness while maintaining a similar mental workload.
