A military tank driving simulator is currently widely used as a training aid for tank drivers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between possible correlates of simulator sickness and the occurrence of sickness and performance test results among simulator drivers. The average number of motion sickness-like symptoms reported after driving the simulator among subjects with a history of susceptibility to motion sickness was 3.4, significantly higher than the average of 1.6 reported among subjects who did not report previous susceptibility to motion sickness (p < 0.05). Subjects driving the simulator while screen image quality was disturbed had a longer reaction time (42.0 s) than when driving the simulator without screen interferences (18.4 s, p = 0.001). Subjects driving the simulator for a short period had the same number of symptoms as did those driving for a longer period, but had better digit symbol test results. There was no statistically significant association between the development of sickness and tank driving experience. Suggested countermeasures are expected to prevent simulator sickness among some of the simulator trainees and to make simulator training more effective.
一种军用坦克驾驶模拟器目前被广泛用作坦克驾驶员的训练辅助工具。本研究的目的是调查模拟器晕动病的可能相关因素与模拟器驾驶员中晕动病的发生以及性能测试结果之间的关系。有晕动病易感性病史的受试者在驾驶模拟器后报告的晕动病样症状的平均数量为3.4，显著高于未报告先前有晕动病易感性的受试者报告的平均数量1.6（p < 0.05）。在屏幕图像质量受干扰的情况下驾驶模拟器的受试者的反应时间（42.0秒）比在没有屏幕干扰的情况下驾驶模拟器时（18.4秒，p = 0.001）更长。驾驶模拟器时间短的受试者与驾驶时间长的受试者症状数量相同，但数字符号测试结果更好。晕动病的发生与坦克驾驶经验之间没有统计学上的显著关联。预期建议的对策可预防部分模拟器学员的模拟器晕动病，并使模拟器训练更有效。
