Scholten, Pepijn A. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Chu, Q. P. (author), Mulder, Max (author)A variable stability in-flight simulator has the capabilities to change the response of an aircraft in-flight, often without changing the physical properties of the aircraft. The ability to adjust the aircraft response characteristics and handling qualities has various purposes, such as pilot training, control system development, and handling...journal article 2020

(author), Mulder, Max (author)Objective: We tested whether a procedure in a hexapod simulator can cause incorrect assumptions of the bank angle (i.e., the “leans”) in airline pilots as well as incorrect interpretations of the attitude indicator (AI). Background: The effect of the leans on interpretation errors has previously been demonstrated in nonpilots. In-flight,...journal article 2020

van Baelen, D. (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Modern aircraft use a variety of fly-by-wire control devices and combine these with a flight envelope protection system to limit pilot control inputs when approaching the aircraft limits. The current research project aims to increase pilot awareness of such a protection system through the use of force feedback on the control device, i.e.,...conference paper 2020

de Rooij, G. (author), van Baelen, D. (author), Borst, C. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)This paper describes the design and evaluation of a visual display in supplementing haptic feedback on the side stick as a way to communicate flight envelope boundaries to pilots. The design adds indications for the limits in airspeed, load factor, angle of attack and angle of bank to a standard Airbus primary flight display (PFD). The...conference paper 2020

van Geel, Alexander (author), Borst, C. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Loss of control is the largest contributor to the yearly aviation death toll, with energy mismanagement in low-energy conditions as one of its main causal factors. This has led to a large emphasis from both scientific and aviation safety communities on the prevention of aircraft upset conditions. Changes in aircraft configuration largely impact...conference paper 2020

Piessens, Tom (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Teleoperation by definition means a deprivation of the teleoperator's senses, which can pose a handicap when operating, e.g., an UAV, in an unknown, perhaps even dynamic environment. Noticing moving obstacles in such a situation can prove to be quite difficult and the UAV runs the risk of colliding with them. Previous work designed a shared...conference paper 2020

van Paassen, L.A. (author), Oliveira, Bruna R.F. (author), Zain, Nor H.M. (author), Jommi, C. (author)Many low-lying peatlands in delta areas undergo significant subsidence due to drainage for agricultural purposes. Subsidence may be attributed to shrinkage, consolidation or oxidation. At the same time the canals and ditches are regularly dredged to maintain water quality and drainage capacity. Often these dredged sediments are placed on land...journal article 2020

Borst, C. (author), Visser, Roeland M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)In many work domains, the push toward higher levels of automation raises the concern of diminishing human expertise. Ecological interfaces could help operators in retaining and potentially even in acquiring expertise as they are hypothesized to lead to a deeper understanding of the work domain. This study explores the short-term impact of...journal article 2019

(author), Mulder, Max (author)In the near future, air traffic controllers are expected to adhere to stringent time and position constraints in controlling traffic. For this new task, new decision-support tools are required which include higher levels of automation, whilst letting humans remain to be the ultimate responsible for the safety of operations. In previous...conference paper 2019
