Motion sickness and motion characteristics of vessels at seat / Anthony Lawther and Michael J. Griffin
Sumario: Measurements of vessel motion and consequent seasickness amongst passengers have been made on six ships. Data are presented for 20029 passengers surveyed on 114 voyages involving 370 hours of motion recordings. Vomiting incidence and illness rating were found to be linearly related to the root-mean-square magnitude of the vertical z-axis acceleration. Sickness increased with increasing duration of exposure and a measure of motion dose is examined as a convenient way of combining the variables of stimulus magnitude and duration
