| Summary: | The SA Agulhas II, a South African (SA) polar supply and research vessel, embarked on a Winter Research Cruise in July of 2022 with 83 passengers aboard. Subjective human responses related to motion sickness were collected from 63 participants through paperbound questionnaires and, in parallel, from 15 participants through a mobile application that is part of a novel human cyber-physical system. Additionally, the human cyber-physical system enabled participant location tracking using near-field communication technology. The motion sickness responses are answers to questions that describe a participant’s incidence of any motion sickness symptoms and vomiting, as well as the severity of associated symptoms experienced. Ship responses were captured through a full-scale measurement system and processed in real time on board, computing motion sickness dose values for each 5-minute consecutive time series of acceleration measurements. The dataset contains the anonymised human responses to motion sickness and location, the computed motion sickness dose values and down-sampled acceleration measurements for Winter Cruise, which is the first dataset available for data acquired and processed through a shipboard human cyber-physical system. The dataset can be used to compare the concomitant methods of human data collection, compute diagnostic seasickness criteria to serve as a guideline for estimating the incidence of motion sickness on a ship during a voyage, correlate the subjective human and ship responses with each other or used to generate further datasets, for example by using the motion sickness dose values to make objective estimations of the state of motion sickness that can be compared with the subjective responses. |
