Kotian, V. (author), Irmak, T. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Happee, R. (author)Users of automated vehicles will engage in other activities and take their eyes off the road, making them prone to motion sickness. To resolve this, the current paper validates models predicting sickness in response to motion and visual conditions. We validate published models of vestibular and visual sensory integration that have been used...journal article 2024

Smulders, M. (author), van Dijk, L.N.M. (author), Song, Y. (author), Vink, P. (author), Huysmans, T. (author)When designing wearables that interface with the human head, face and neck, designers and engineers consider human senses, ergonomics and comfort. A dense 3D pressure discomfort threshold map could be helpful, but does not exist yet. Differences in pressure discomfort threshold for areas of the head, neck and face were recorded, to create a 3D...journal article 2023

de Winkel, K.N. (author), Irmak, T. (author), Happee, R. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author)A prime concern for automated vehicles is motion comfort, as an uncomfortable ride may reduce acceptance of the technology amongst the general population. However, it is not clear how transient motions typical for travelling by car affect the experience of comfort. Here, we determine the relation between properties of vehicle motions (i.e.,...journal article 2023

Talsma, Tessa M.W. (author), Hassanain, Omar (author), Happee, R. (author), de Winkel, K.N. (author)Increasing levels of vehicle automation are envisioned to allow drivers to engage in other activities but are also likely to increase the incidence of Carsickness or Motion Sickness (MS). Ideally, MS is studied in a safe and controlled environment, such as a driving simulator. However, only few studies address the suitability of driving...journal article 2023

Pöhlmann, Katharina Margareta Theresa (author), Al Taie, Ammar Jamal Said (author), Li, Gang (author), Dam, Abhraneil (author), Wang, Yu Kai (author), Wei, Chun Shu (author), Papaioannou, G. (author)The adoption of automated vehicles will be a positive step towards road safety and environmental benefits. However, one major challenge that still exist is motion sickness. The move from drivers to passengers who will engage in non-driving related tasks as well as the potential change in the layout of the car interior that will come with...conference paper 2023

Yang, W. (author), He, Renke (author), Chen, Tingshu (author), Goossens, R.H.M. (author), Huysmans, T. (author)Analysing the contact area between head-related products and the corresponding craniofacial profile is necessary to make such products more comfortable. The study of soft tissue biomechanical experiments provides a reliable perspective for understanding such contact areas and improving the comfort. In order to obtain more accurate and visualized...journal article 2022

Pöhlmann, Katharina Margareta Theresa (author), Li, Gang (author), Dam, Abhraneil (author), Wang, Yu Kai (author), Wei, Chun Shu (author), Brietzke, Adrian (author), Papaioannou, G. (author)The mass adoption of automated vehicles in the near future will benefit safety (of occupants and pedestrians), the environment (low emissions), and society (accessibility, on-demand travel). There are, however, still challenges that need to be addressed, with one of the most crucial being motion sickness. In automated vehicles, the interior...conference paper 2022

Mirakhorlo, M. (author), Kluft, N. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author), Happee, R. (author)Vibration transmission is essential in the design of comfortable vehicle seats but knowledge is lacking on 3D trunk and head motion and the role of seat back and posture. We hypothesized that head motion is reduced when participants’ upper back is unsupported, as this stimulates active postural control. We developed an experimental...journal article 2022

de Winkel, K.N. (author), Irmak, T. (author), Kotian, V. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Happee, R. (author)High levels of vehicle automation are expected to increase the risk of motion sickness, which is a major detriment to driving comfort. The exact relation between motion sickness and discomfort is a matter of debate, with recent studies suggesting a relief of discomfort at the onset of nausea. In this study, we investigate whether discomfort...journal article 2022

Clarke, Nicholas (author)How Heritage Learns explores the dynamics that come into play when public housing becomes valourised as heritage in the Netherlands and how that, in turn modulates the evolution of this protected housing. It builds on the foundation set by the thesis of Steward Brand, that buildings learn through the adaptation of their fabric to external forces...doctoral thesis 2021

Anjani, S. (author)Have you ever sat in a cramped airplane? Sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with limited legroom might not be a comfortable experience while flying in an airplane. Therefore, human anthropometrics or body dimensions are important to consider when designing for interiors used by a large population. To accommodate people of all sizes, a certain minimum...doctoral thesis 2021

Udomboonyanupap, S. (author), Boess, S.U. (author), Ribeiro Monteiro, L. (author), Vink, P. (author)BACKGROUND: The number of smartphone users is immense. People can do ever more with a smartphone. Smartphones are used everywhere, including in bed and on the sofa. The awkward postures taken in these situations affect comfort and discomfort. In designing a bed, it might be useful to know which position is comfortable for smartphone use on a...journal article 2021

Dangal, S. (author), Smulders, M. (author), Vink, P. (author)This paper investigates whether spring-foam technology in an aircraft seat-pan can reduce weight and at the same time provide equal or better comfort. Firstly, through literature studies and using an iterative design process a prototype seat-pan was designed and developed using spring-foam technology. The (dis)comfort of this seat was...journal article 2021

Ping, Y. (author), Yao, X. (author), Xu, J. (author), Li, Juntian (author), Song, Y. (author), Vink, P. (author)The angle of attack (AOA) of an airplane changes the direction of the gravitational force on passengers and thereby might influence passengers’ flying experience. However, the contribution of the AOA regarding comfort/discomfort is not fully explored. In this paper, we aim to fill this knowledge gap by identifying the relationships between the...conference paper 2021

Song, Y. (author), Vink, P. (author)In this paper, a literature study is presented on the types of objective measures that can contribute to the prediction of (dis)comfort, the feasibility of measuring those factors, and the potential of building a model based on them. Results indicate that in addition to subjective measurements, objective measures might help us to understand the...conference paper 2021

Castellucci, Héctor Ignacio (author), Viviani, Carlos (author), Arezes, Pedro (author), Molenbroek, J.F.M. (author), Martínez, Marta (author), Aparici, Verónica (author)Anthropometry is critical for product and workplace design. Highly prevalent, office work is associated with sedentarism and physical discomfort due to prolonged sitting. Dynamic seating (alternating across sitting, perching, and standing) has been suggested as an alternative to overcome those problems. The current study tested a large sample...journal article 2021

Vink, P. (author), Anjani, S. (author), Percuoco, C. (author), Vos, Roelof (author), Vanacore, Amalia (author)Staggered seats might be a solution for a V-shaped aircraft (the Flying V). The cabin longitudinal axis of this airplane has a 26° angle with respect to the direction of flight. When seats are positioned in the direction of flight, they consequently have an angle to the cabin and become staggered. It is unknown whether the comfort of this...conference paper 2021
