Study of latency gap corrections in a dynamic driving simulator

Abstract

Simulator sickness is a well-known side effect of driving simulation which may reduce the passenger well-being and performance due to its various symptoms. The present study investigated the possible effect of the latency gap correction on simulator sickness. Indeed, dynamic simulators can have different delays in their motion and visual systems (the latency gap), which may cause motion sickness. For now twenty-four participants have done two automated driving sessions in a driving simulator, with and without the correction. Simulator sickness has been estimated thanks to the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ).
