Abstract
This article presents a new approach for the
prediction of motion sickness on ships, with a focus on
high-speed craft. The methodology presented is based on a
variant of the sensory conflict hypothesis and the human
vestibular system. The proposed model was developed
using control theory and is capable of taking account of all
six degrees of freedom vessel motion for the prediction of
motion sickness. Furthermore, full-scale trials were carried
out onboard three different high-speed craft to measure the
ship motions and consequently to analyse their effects on
passengers in terms of motion sickness. Through the
accumulated results, the developed model was validated
and was compared with existing methods/criteria for the
prediction of the incidence of motion sickness.
