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...journal article 2021

(author), Mulder, Max (author), Quaranta, Giuseppe (author)This paper analyzes the effects of the helicopter dynamics on pilots’ learning process and transfer of learned skills during autorotation training. A quasi-transfer-of-training experiment was performed with 14 experienced helicopter pilots in a moving-base flight simulator. Two types of helicopter dynamics, characterized by a different...journal article 2021

Pool, E.A.I. (author), Kooij, J.F.P. (author), Gavrila, D. (author)This paper compares two models for context-based path prediction of objects with switching dynamics: a Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN) and a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). These models are instances of two larger model categories, distinguished by whether expert knowledge is explicitly crafted into the state representation (and thus is...journal article 2021

Khoshnewiszadeh, Arwin (author), Pool, D.M. (author)Biodynamic feedthrough (BDFT) is a key issue for touchscreen operations on the future flight deck, as cockpit accelerations due to turbulence leave pilots vulnerable to erroneous touches that disrupt task performance. This research focuses on the implementation of a software-based cancellation approach to mitigate the adverse effects of BDFT...journal article 2021

Individual motion perception parameters and motion sickness frequency sensitivity in fore-aft motionIrmak, T. (author), de Winkel, K.N. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Bülthoff, Heinrich H. (author), Happee, R. (author)Previous literature suggests a relationship between individual characteristics of motion perception and the peak frequency of motion sickness sensitivity. Here, we used well-established paradigms to relate motion perception and motion sickness on an individual level. We recruited 23 participants to complete a two-part experiment. In the first...journal article 2021

van der El, Kasper (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)The 1960s crossover model is widely applied to quantitatively predict a human controller's (HC's) manual control behavior. Unfortunately, the theory captures only compensatory tracking behavior and, as such, a limited range of real-world manual control tasks. This article finalizes recent advances in manual control theory toward more general...journal article 2020

van der Ploeg, J.R. (author), Cleij, D. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author), Bülthoff, Heinrich H. (author)Despite gaining popularity, the use of Motion Cueing Algorithms (MCAs) based on Model Predictive Control (MPC) remains challenging due to the required tuning of a large number of cost function parameters. This paper investigates the effects of two critical MPC cost function parameters, the lateral specific force and roll rate error weights (Way...conference paper 2020

Kolff, M.J.C. (author), Venrooij, J. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Motion cueing algorithm design often involves a trade-off between priorities due to the limited workspace of the simulator. Such a trade-off requires a detailed understanding of human perception, which we do not yet have. For that reason, objective motion cueing quality metrics, based on the difference between vehicle and simulator signals,...conference paper 2020

Cleij, D. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author), Bülthoff, Heinrich H. (author)In this paper the potential of Motion Incongruence Rating (MIR) models for the optimization of Motion Cueing Algorithms (MCAs) is investigated. In a human-in-the-loop simulator experiment, two optimization-based MCAs are compared for a roundabout scenario simulated on a medium-stroke hexapod simulator. The first MCA uses standard cueing error...conference paper 2020

Hogerbrug, M. (author), Venrooij, J. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)A necessity in driving simulation testing is to understand and attenuate simulator sickness, to reduce the number of undesired drop-outs. Especially urban environments, with its many turns and changes in the velocity profile, are a challenge. This paper describes the motion sickness rating results of a between-subjects experiment (n = 63), which...conference paper 2020

Irmak, T. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Happee, R. (author)We investigated and modeled the temporal evolution of motion sickness in a highly dynamic sickening drive. Slalom maneuvers were performed in a passenger vehicle, resulting in lateral accelerations of 0.4 g at 0.2 Hz, to which participants were subjected as passengers for up to 30 min. Subjective motion sickness was recorded throughout the...journal article 2020

Irmak, T. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Happee, R. (author)Background: Motion sickness (MS) as an area of scientific inquiry has mostly seen experimental work. A range of models attempt to predict MS, but have not been validated for a broad selection of sickening motion stimuli. By doing so this study aims to identify models that lead to better sickness predictions. Lastly, the study will also elaborate...abstract 2019
