The results, when combined with other test results were remarkable, with 75% of participants experiencing varying degrees of discomfort within five minutes of beginning the experiments. More importantly, both the fraction of test subjects reporting some degree of discomfort and the severity symptoms proved directly comparable to similar studies in actual vehicles, providing assurance that such such tests can be conducted in a driving simulator lab, in advance of real-world testing.

We offer a range of automotive Driver-in-the-Loop (DIL) simulators featuring advanced computational and mechanical performance capabilities, and industry-unique motion and immersion solutions that create compelling virtual worlds for drivers and product development engineers. Ansible Motion DIL simulators are used by automotive and research organisations around the globe to place real people into direct contact with imagined vehicles, on-board systems and situations. Our DIL simulators are designed, built and developed at our factory and R&D Centre in Hethel, England. In 2022 we were acquired by AB Dynamics plc ([www.abdplc.com](https://www.abdplc.com/)). - [Home](https://www.ansiblemotion.com) - [Applications](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/applications) - [Products](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/driving-simulator-products) - [About](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/about-driving-simulator-science) - [Blog](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/automotive-driver-in-the-loop-simulation-articles) - [News](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/ansible-motion-automotive-driver-in-the-loop-simulation-news) - [Contact](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/contact-ansible-motion-for-driving-simulator-information) Ansible Motion Limited Hethel Engineering Centre Chapman Way, Norwich NR14 8FB UK [+44 (0)1603 908070](tel:+4401603908070) ![international trade](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/hubfs/Ansible_Motion_Feb21/international%20trade.svg)   © Ansible Motion Limited 2009-2026 - [ Privacy Policy](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/ansible-motion-privacy-policy) - [Purchasing Terms](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/purchasing-terms) - [Terms of Business](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/terms-and-conditions) - [Modern Slavery Statement ](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/modern-slavery-statement) [** ](https://www.linkedin.com/company/ansible-motion/) [** ](https://www.youtube.com/user/ansiblemotion) ```json { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "Article", "articleBody" : "Ansible Motion’s Delta simulator has been used in a research study to investigate the ...", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Phil Morse", "url" : "https://www.ansiblemotion.com/ansible-motion-automotive-driver-in-the-loop-simulation-news/author/phil-morse" }, "dateCreated" : "January 28, 2020", "dateModified" : "February 09, 2022", "datePublished" : "January 28, 2020", "description" : "Ansible Motion’s Delta simulator has been used in an academic research study to investigate the root causes of car sickness, including driver/occupant discomfort and nausea.", "headline" : "Researchers target cure for car sickness", "image" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "height" : 800, "url" : "https://www.ansiblemotion.com/hubfs/News_Images/Automotive_testing_technology-International_logo.png", "width" : 800 }, "keywords" : "Ansible Motion news", "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://www.ansiblemotion.com/ansible-motion-automotive-driver-in-the-loop-simulation-news/researchers-target-cure-for-car-sickness", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://www.ansiblemotion.com/hubfs/AML-10-years-logor.jpg" }, "name" : "Ansible Motion Limited" } } ```
