van der El, Kasper (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Novel (semi-)automated systems are rapidly being introduced into modern road vehicles, but anticipating possibly critical human-machine interaction issues is difficult, because the human driver’s behavior is as of yet still poorly understood. This paper aims to improve our understanding and models of driver steering behavior on winding roads,...conference paper 2018

Huang, Y. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Stroosma, O. (author), Chu, Q. P. (author)Hydraulic driven manipulators face serious control problems due to the nonlinear system dynamics and model and parametric uncertainties of hydraulic actuators. In this paper, a novel sensor-based Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion controller is applied to force tracking control of hydraulic actuators of a hexapod flight simulator motion...conference paper 2017

van den Hoek, M.A. (author), de Visser, C.C. (author), Pool, D.M. (author)As a result of new aviation legislation, from 2019 on all air-carrier pilots are obliged to go through flight simulator-based stall recovery training. For this reason the Control and Simulation division at Delft University of Technology has set up a task force to develop a new methodology for high-fidelity aircraft stall behavior modeling and...conference paper 2017

Passenier, D (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Rankin, A (author), Sharpanskykh, Alexei (author)Training methods for operators working under high pressure and in dynamic, unpredictable settings could benefit from a focus on resilience. In such settings, formal training often focuses on procedural conformity to train for particular scenarios, but resilient performance taps into a wider experience base and often more tacit skills. In this...conference paper 2017

Miletović, I. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Stroosma, O. (author), Pavel, M.D. (author), Wentink, M (author), Mulder, Max (author)The fidelity of a rotorcraft flight simulator is influenced by many factors, such as the vehicle dynamic model and the motion cueing algorithm (MCA). To quantify the fidelity of a simulator objectively requires detailed knowledge of human pilot perception and control behaviour that is not yet available. As a consequence, subjective...conference paper 2017

Duarte, R.F.M. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)In this paper, the Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) model identification framework is applied to estimating time-varying human controller (HC) dynamics in a single-loop tracking task. Given the inherently unknown time changes in HC behavior, a global LPV approach with experimentally determined Scheduling Functions (SFs) is needed for this...conference paper 2017

Matamoros Cid, I. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Pool, D.M. (author)Maximum unnoticeable added dynamics (MUAD) envelopes have been largely used to assess the adequacy of low-order equivalent systems (LOES) in handling qualities assessment and simulator validation. However, research has shown that more thorough verification of the adequacy of this method is required. This paper studies the influence of the...conference paper 2017

Pool, E.A.I. (author), Kooij, J.F.P. (author), Gavrila, D. (author)We learn motion models for cyclist path prediction on real-world tracks obtained from a moving vehicle, and propose to exploit the local road topology to obtain better predictive distributions. The tracks are extracted from the Tsinghua-Daimler Cyclist Benchmark for cyclist detection, and corrected for vehicle egomotion. Tracks are then...conference paper 2017

Mulder, Max (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author), Boer, E.R. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author)Manual control cybernetics aims to understand and describe how humans control vehicles and devices, such that more effective human-machine interfaces can be designed. Current cybernetics theory is primarily based on technology and analysis methods developed in the 1960s and has shown to be limited in its capability to capture the full breadth of...conference paper 2016

Barendswaard, S. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)While many realistic manual control tasks require human operators to control multiple degrees-of-freedomsimultaneously, our understanding of such multi-axis manual control has not moved far beyond considering it simply as the control of multiple fully-independent axes. This investigation aims to further our understanding of multi-axis control by...conference paper 2016

van der El, K. (author), Barendswaard, S. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)In many practical control tasks, human controllers (HC) can preview the trajectory they must follow in the near future. This paper investigates the effects of the length of previewed target trajectory, or preview time, on HC behavior in rate tracking tasks. To do so, a human-in-the-loop experiment was performed, consisting of a combined target...conference paper 2016

Popovici, A (author), Zaal, P.M.T. (author), Pool, D.M.

Roggenkämper, N (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Drop, F.M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)In manual control, the human operator primarily responds to visual inputs but may elect to make use of other available feedback paths such as physical motion, adopting a multi-channel control strategy. Hu- man operator identification procedures generally require a priori selection of the model structure, which can be problematic as the exact...conference paper 2016

Cleij, D. (author), Venrooij, J. (author), Pretto, P. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, M. (author), Bülthoff, H.H. (author)Motion cueing algorithms (MCA) are used in motion simulation to map the inertial vehicle motions onto the simulator motion space. To increase fidelity of the motion simulation, these MCAs are tuned to minimize the perceived incoherence between the visual and inertial motion cues. Despite time-invariant MCA dynamics the incoherence is not...conference paper 2015
