The comfort of an autonomous vehicle is largely determined by its control algorithm. Therefore, if the comfort of passengers can be predicted based on factors that affect comfort and the control algorithm can be adjusted, it can be beneficial to improve the comfort of autonomous vehicles. In view of this, in the present study, a human-driven experiment was carried out to simulate the typical driving state of a future autonomous vehicle. In the experiment, vehicle motion parameters and the comfort evaluation results of passengers with different physiological characteristics were collected. A single-factor analysis method and binary logistic regression analysis model were used to determine the factors that affect the evaluation results of passenger comfort. A passenger comfort prediction model was established based on the bidirectional long short-term memory network model. The results demonstrate that the accuracy of the passenger comfort prediction model reached 84%, which can provide a theoretical basis for the adjustment of the control algorithm and path trajectory of autonomous vehicles.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17186821","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,18]],"date-time":"2020-09-18T10:22:23Z","timestamp":1600424543000},"page":"6821","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["Research on the Comfort of Vehicle Passengers Considering the Vehicle Motion State and Passenger Physiological Characteristics: Improving the Passenger Comfort of Autonomous Vehicles"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Chang","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automobile, Chang\u2019an University, Xi\u2019an 710064, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6683-3652","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xia","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automobile, Chang\u2019an University, Xi\u2019an 710064, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automobile, Chang\u2019an University, Xi\u2019an 710064, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4215-0774","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhen","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automobile, Chang\u2019an University, Xi\u2019an 710064, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"102604","DOI":"10.1016\/j.trc.2020.02.026","article-title":"Passenger comfort and trust on first-time use of a shared autonomous shuttle vehicle","volume":"115","author":"Paddeu","year":"2020","journal-title":"Trans.
