3rd Motion Comfort Workshop

Exploring the Future of Automated Vehicle Comfort

Organized in conjunction with the Tomorrow Mobility World Congress, the workshop is sponsored by Hi-Drive and supported by CARNET and EIT Urban Mobility.

Automated vehicles (AVs) are considered one of the major technological developments in the automotive industry, able to enhance future mobility, by improving safety, environmental impact, and accessibility. The ability to engage in non-driving tasks is considered by consumers one of the key reasons for AVs adoption leading to the requirement of higher comfort. However, AVs motion is expected to provoke motion sickness (MS) especially when users take their eyes off the road. These challenges need to be overcome before AVs become part of our daily life.

The workshop is targeted at fellows from academia and industry. It aims to align research and development on motion comfort in automated driving focusing on:

• Experimental evaluation and detection of perceived comfort, including motion sickness
• Theories and models predicting comfort
• Mitigation strategies to enhance comfort and user acceptance in AVs

The workshop will consist of presentations, poster sessions and discussion rounds. The workshop can be followed online through a link provided after the registration.
