Jonik, P.M. (author), Valente Pais, A.R. (author), Van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, M. (author)In flight simulation detailed knowledge of human motion perception is crucial. Phase differences between inertial and visual motion introduced by motion filters might have negative effects on the fidelity of flight simulation. This study investigated human visual- vestibular phase-error detection. An experiment was conducted to measure the...conference paper 2011

Sopjes, R. (author), De Jong, P.M.A. (author), Borst, C. (author), Van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, M. (author)In order to reduce noise nuisance around Schiphol Airport, a Continuous Descent Approach procedure was introduced in the late ’90s. Unfortunately, because unpredictable individual aircraft behavior lead to increased landing intervals for this procedure, it is currently only applied during night time operations. Time-of-Arrival control in the...conference paper 2011

Abdul Rahman, S.M.B. (author), Van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, M. (author)When designing Air Traffic Control (ATC) sectors and procedures, traffic complexity and workload are important issues. For predicting ATC workload, metrics based on the Solution Space Diagram (SSD) have been proposed. This paper studies the effect of sector design on workload and SSD metrics. When considering the SSD in evaluation of a sector,...conference paper 2011

De Leege, A.M.P. (author), In 't Veld, A.C. (author), Mulder, M. (author), Van Paassen, M.M. (author)Tactical control during a closed-path Continuous Descent Operation stops the aircraft from following its optimized descent. To mitigate tactical control, air traffic controllers apply arbitrary large spacing buffers to account for the unpredictability of the aircraft trajectory from the controller’s point of view. A controller support tool is...conference paper 2011

Mulder, A. (author)Due to the demise of traditional industry large industrial estates, often at central locations, become available for reuse. Municipalities have reacted by trying to attract new users who would need a lot of space, like big shopping centres, while strengthening the urban economy. However, these attempts have not always been successful. Also,...conference paper 2011

Vernay, A.L. (author), Pandis, S. (author), Saldeco Rahola, T.B. (author), Mulder, K. (author), Brandt, N. (author)Today, many new urban areas, such as cities, towns, villages, or districts, are being built worldwide and their completion requires the development of a number of infrastructures. Traditionally, these infrastructures are planned in parallel. However, increased environmental awareness is pushing cities to improve their environmental performance....conference paper 2011

Mulder, J.P.M. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)Our coast essentially consists of sand from the bottom of the North Sea that was laid there by rivers in previous interglacial periods. Increasing sea levels have meant that this source has gradually almost ceased to exist with build-up reversing to break down. The balance between the supply and demand for sediment is currently negative but sand...conference paper 2011

Lombaerts, T.J.J. (author), Looye, G.H.N. (author), Chu, Q.P. (author), Mulder, J.A. (author)This paper describes how the previously developed concept of Pseudo Control Hedging (PCH) can be integrated in a Fault Tolerant Flight Controller (FTFC) as a safe flight envelope protection system of the first degree. This PCH algorithm adapts the reference model for the system output in case of unachievable commands due to control input...conference paper 2010

Van Kampen, E. (author), Chu, Q.P. (author), Mulder, J.A. (author)This paper applies interval optimization to the fixed-time multiple impulse rendezvous and docking problem. Current methods for solving this type of optimization problem include for example genetic algorithms and gradient based optimization. Unlike these methods, interval methods can guarantee that the globally best solution is found for a given...conference paper 2010

De Jong, P.M.A. (author), In 't Veld, A.C. (author), De Leege, A.M.P. (author), Van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, M. (author)Amsterdam Schiphol Airport currently uses a Continuous Descent Approach during night time operations only, due to reduced runway capacity caused by unpredictable individual aircraft behavior. The Three-Degree Decelerating Approach (TDDA) has been developed to increase predictability and runway capacity by switching the sepa- ration task from Air...conference paper 2010

D'Engelbronner, J.G. (author), Mulder, M. (author), Van Paassen, M.M. (author), De Stigter, S. (author), Huisman, H. (author)Air traffic capacity is mainly bound by air traffic controller workload. In order to effectively find solutions for this problem, off-line pre-experimental workload assessment methods are desirable. In order to better understand the workload associated with air traffic control, previous research introduced the static Solution Space as a possible...conference paper 2010

De Visser, C.C. (author), Mulder, J.A. (author)A new method is proposed for the identification of global nonlinear models of aircraft non-dimensional force and moment coefficients. The method is based on a recent type of multivariate spline, the multivariate simplex spline, which can accurately approximate very large, scattered nonlinear datasets in any number of dimensions. The new...conference paper 2010

Le Ngoc, L. (author), Borst, C. (author), Mulder, M. (author), Van Paassen, M.M. (author)The usage of heads-down, non-conformal synthetic vision displays for landings below minimums has inherent problems during the flare due to minification effects. Literature showed that pilots can use four visual cues to perform a manual flare maneuver. Amongst their strategies, the Jacobson flare method seemed the most suitable to provide flare...conference paper 2010

Mercado Velasco, G.A. (author), Mulder, M. (author), Van Paassen, M.M. (author)Air traffic controller workload is considered to be an important limiting factor to the growth of air traffic. The difficulty of an air traffic control task can be analyzed through examining the problem’s solution space, that is, all possible vector commands that satisfy the constraints of safety, productivity and efficiency. But apart from...conference paper 2010

Correia Gracio, B.J. (author), Van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, M. (author), Wentink, M. (author)Generally, motion simulators present motion and visual cues different from each other due to the physical limitations of the motion platform. Nonetheless, high fidelity motion platforms are capable of simulating some maneuvers one-to-one, i.e., motion cues equal to visual cues. However, one-to-one simulation is normally not preferred by subjects...conference paper 2010
