de Jong, M.A. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Mathematical human controller (HC) models are widely used in tuning manual control systems and for understanding human performance. Typically, quasi-linear HC models are used, which can accurately capture the linear portion of HCs' behavior, averaged over a long measurement window. This paper presents a deep learning HC skill-level evaluation...journal article 2022

Bentinck, Pieter Bas J.C. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van der El, Kasper (author), Hoagg, Jesse B. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Better understanding of manual control requires more research on human anticipatory feedforward behaviour. Recent advances include a human control model for preview tracking, and a subsystem identification (SSID) technique that uses a candidate pool approach to identify the human feedforward and feedback responses. This paper discusses the...journal article 2022

van Ham, Jacomijn M. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)This paper presents the results of an experiment that was performed to verify the 'supervisory control algorithm', a well-known model of human operator adaptation to changes in controlled element dynamics. This model proposes that human adaptive behavior is triggered once the magnitudes of the tracking error or error rate exceed certain...journal article 2022

de Winkel, K.N. (author), Irmak, T. (author), Kotian, V. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Happee, R. (author)High levels of vehicle automation are expected to increase the risk of motion sickness, which is a major detriment to driving comfort. The exact relation between motion sickness and discomfort is a matter of debate, with recent studies suggesting a relief of discomfort at the onset of nausea. In this study, we investigate whether discomfort...journal article 2022

Huang, Y. (author), Zhang, Ye (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Stroosma, O. (author), Chu, Q. P. (author)Nonlinear dynamic inversion (NDI) is a nonlinear feedback linearization technique that has been widely applied to flight control systems [1,2]. Using state feedback and the inverted nonlinear system dynamics, NDI can significantly reduce controller development costs by avoiding gain scheduling and Jacobian linearization at a multitude of...journal article 2022

Terenzi, L. (author), Zaal, P.M.T. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Improved understanding of human adaptation can be used to design better (semi-)automated systems that can support the human controller when task characteristics suddenly change. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of a model-based adaptive control technique, Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC), for describing the adaptive control policy...conference paper 2022

Imbrechts, A. (author), de Visser, C.C. (author), Pool, D.M. (author)To gain more insight into human sensitivity to variations in simulated stall buffets, Just Noticeable Difference (JND) thresholds were estimated using a passive human-in-the-loop flight simulator experiment. Using an in-house developed flow separation-based stall and buffet model of the Cessna Citation II, JND thresholds were determined for the...conference paper 2022

Fang, X. (author), de Visser, C.C. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Holzapfel, Florian (author)This paper proposes a new method that estimates the three-dimensional stochastic wind velocity for an aircraft equipped with a Pitot-static tube and airflow vanes. Since the performance of most state estimators, e.g., the extended Rauch-Tung-Striebel smoother, relies on the process and measurement noise covariance settings, the proposed method...conference paper 2022

(author)Next-generation automotive radars provide elevation data in addition to range-, azimuth- and Doppler velocity. In this experimental study, we apply a state-of-the-art object detector (PointPillars), previously used for LiDAR 3D data, to such 3+1D radar data (where 1D refers to Doppler). In ablation studies, we first explore the benefits of...journal article 2022

Kolff, Maurice (author), Venrooij, J. (author), Schwienbacher, Markus (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)When designing driving simulation experiments with motion cueing, it is often necessary to make choices between Motion Cueing Algorithms (MCAs) without being fully able to know how well an MCA will perform during the experiment. Choices between MCAs can therefore be greatly supported by previous measurements or predictions of motion cueing...conference paper 2021

Scaramuzzino, Paolo Francesco (author), Pavel, M.D. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Stroosma, O. (author), Quaranta, Giuseppe (author), Mulder, Max (author)Training has the potential to inject a “safety vaccination” into the rotorcraft community by reducing the number of accidents. The term training should not be intended only in a strict sense, i.e., as pilot technical skills training, but more broadly as risk avoidance and safety culture training. As in the case of vaccination, where immunity is...conference paper 2021

Das, H. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van Kampen, E. (author)Pneumatic cylinders provide an environmentfriendly actuation means by minimizing the leakage of any harmful industrial fluids, as occurs for hydraulic actuators. However, pneumatic actuation has not been utilized widely for industrial servo applications due to its highly nonlinear nature. Incremental nonlinear dynamic inversion (INDI) is a form...conference paper 2021

van Ingen, J.B. (author), de Visser, C.C. (author), Pool, D.M. (author)Since 2019, a key element of simulator-based training of airline pilots is stall training.

As part of an effort to answer this question, a model of the quasi-steady stall dynamics of a Cessna Citation II aircraft is identified...conference paper 2021
