abstract = {With growing vehicle automation, occupant state monitoring systems gains interest as well. State monitoring typically concerns multiple states, such as drowsiness, alertness, and impairment. One example of the latter is carsickness, a factor generally considered of great importance for self-driving vehicles. Here we elaborate on that example using RGB images combined with far infrared (IR or thermographic) images of the face. In a lab experiment we induced motion sickness in 14 subjects mapping different regions of interest found in the RGB images onto the matching regions in the IR images. Of all regions considered, the central forehead showed the most significant and consistent effect, with an average estimated reduction of skin temperature of 1.32 oC over the entire range of feeling well up to emesis. Although this study implies an important step forward in monitoring carsickness, showing forehead skin temperature to be a sensitive measure, its specificity should still be determined. The latter, however, requires multiple non-motion stressors to be studied, as well as multiple measures, which poses a major challenge for independent and scientifically sound research that still needs to be carried out.},
