Abstract

The presently available methods of reducing motion sickness include a series of process like deactivating the neural activity by medication of ointment packs so that the sensory organs such as skin senses get diminished and so on. This causes uneasiness and side effects. As a part of the study, analysis is being done for the development of a system for reducing the motion sickness caused by kinetosis. Kinetosis is the medical condition of a person subjected to impulsive events that occur at low frequency i.e. entry and exit from curves for road vehicles, vertical acceleration and deceleration in case of aircrafts and lifts or roll on wave motions. The detailed study involves the application of vibrations on stressed points such that the motion sickness will be reduced by the system being developed.
