Internship | Software interface between motion control and predictive vibrotactile cueing to reduce carsickness

About this position

Many passengers experience motion sickness when travelling, which is a challenge, especially in automated vehicles. Finding ways to reduce motion sickness is crucial to the success of future automated vehicles. At TNO, we have already shown that giving passengers auditory or vibrotactile cues can help them anticipate vehicle motion and, as a result, feel better. Building on this, we developed a car seat demonstrator with spatiotemporal vibration patterns in the seat. In this internship, you will help to bring that demonstrator to life by building an interface with the motion planning of automated vehicles. Development will first take place in a static driving simulator, but should eventually be usable in one of our automated CarLabs. This integration will enable us to test spatiotemporal cueing patterns across different motion manoeuvres to improve passengers' comfort in automated vehicles.
