  • Patent number: 11931520
    Abstract: A method for detecting the tendency of a passenger of a vehicle to get motion sickness by using a rod and frame test is disclosed. An image designed to carry out a rod and frame test is displayed in the vehicle. The rod and the frame each enclose an angle greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees with a horizontal spatial axis and/or a vertical spatial axis. A request is issued to correct the rod into a vertical or horizontal position by means of an input device. An input carried out by the passenger to correct the rod is recorded. The rod and frame test is evaluated by an evaluation device based on the recorded input of the passenger, and at least one measure is issued to prevent and/or combat the occurrence of motion sickness, depending on the result of the evaluation.

  • Patent number: 7437219
    Abstract: A method for the prevention of motion sickness in occupants of a vehicle, wherein a motion sickness indicator is fitted in the vehicle, which indicator indicates whether the vehicle motions experienced by the occupants during use can cause motion sickness, wherein the information coming from the indicator is fed back to a driver or a steering system of the vehicle, all this in such a manner that the driver or steering system can adjust the steering of the car in such a manner that the sickening motions are minimized.
