Dominique Bohrmann

Dominique Bohrmann is a researcher at the Department of Ergonomics at the Technical University of Munich, collaborating with the Daimler Group since October 2017. His work focuses on the design of highly automated vehicles, integrating ergonomic and human factors into mobility concepts. He holds degrees from Trier University of Applied Sciences and Clemson University in the USA.

• Educational Background: Trier University of Applied Sciences, Clemson University
• Current Role: Researcher at TUM's Ergonomics Department, Daimler Group R&D

Research interests center on automotive ergonomics, particularly in addressing kinetogenic symptoms (motion sickness) in autonomous vehicles. His studies analyze passenger comfort through dynamic visual stimuli, reclined posture, and motion dynamics, aiming to redefine vehicle interiors as living spaces while validating ergonomic guidelines via real-world testing.

Publications highlight his work on motion sickness in automated driving, including IEEE Transactions and VDI Berichte contributions. Key article themes include

• car sickness in real driving
• passenger comfort metrics
• ergonomic validation of vehicle interiors
• human-centric mobility concepts

Labs utilized for his research include the

• Dynamical Mock-Up
• Modular Ergonomic Mockup
• Static Driving Simulator

at TUM.
