Reitsma, J.P. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)The glass cockpit and EFB enable new ways of information presentation and interaction on the flight deck of modern commercial jets. This information supports crews in flight plan management, which essentially entails evaluating the plan against (ever-changing) flight constraints and, if necessary, modifying it. Flight constraints emerge from the...conference paper 2019

Reitsma, J.P. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Reducing high workload levels are a major challenge to enable single pilot operations. Where the pilot is currently supported with many automated systems, the role of mission planner is relatively unsupported, i.e., the flight crew is required to integrate and combine information from various sources to extract the implications on the missions’...conference paper 2019

Landman, H.M. (author), Groen, E.L. (author), Frank, M (author), Steinhardt, G. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Bronkhorst, A (author), Mulder, Max (author)Aviation safety organizations have recommended that airline pilots are trained for startle and surprise. However, little information is available on useful training interventions. Therefore, a training intervention trial was executed during airline recurrent simulator training. The method consisted of a slow visual scan from the side-window,...conference paper 2019

Landman, H.M. (author), van Middelaar, S.H. (author), Groen, Eric L. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Bronkhorst, Adelbert W. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Several checklist-based methods have been proposed to help pilots manage startle in unexpected situations. In the current experiment, we tested how pilots reacted to using such a method, which featured the mnemonic COOL: Calm down – Observe – Outline – Lead. Using a motion-based simulator outfitted with a non-linear aerodynamic model of a small...conference paper 2019

Jakimovska, N. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)An improved understanding of pilot’s control behavior adaptations in response to sudden changes in the vehicle dynamics is essential for realizing adaptive support systems that remain effective when task characteristics suddenly change. In this paper, we replicate, extend, and validate the ‘adaptive pilot model’ proposed by Hess to verify its...conference paper 2023

Vasilopoulos, V.G. (author), Borst, C. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), in 't Veld, A.C. (author), Mulder, Max (author)The Continuous Descent Approach (CDA) offers reduced aircraft noise emissions and fuel consumption, but the obstacle limiting it to reduced traffic density conditions, is the low predictability of the trajectory and Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA). The solution proposed by this research is to develop a pilot support interface to facilitate the...conference paper 2023

(author), Mulder, Max (author)In the analysis of human performance and human error, considerable attention is given to the cognitive processes of actors involved in error or success scenarios. Even with awareness of hindsight bias, it takes effort to understand the actions of agents in later inspection of error scenarios. One such topic of heated discussion was the perceived...conference paper 2021

de Rooij, G. (author), Borst, C. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Allocation is a challenge for higher levels of automation in air traffic control, where flights can be dynamically assigned to either a human or an automated agent. Through an exploratory experiment with six professional air traffic controllers, insight was gained into the possibilities and challenges of human-automation teamwork in an en-route...conference paper 2021

Jatiningrum, D. (author), de Visser, C.C. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)A characterization of an angular accelerometer sensor is performed with a frequency- response experiment. To assess angular accelerometer dynamic properties, a position-based calibration table is utilized to provide the excitation input. The angular accelerometer specifications and calibration table limitations dfine a constrained test envelope...conference paper 2016

Jatiningrum, D. (author), de Visser, C.C. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)The calibration of Angular Accelerometers requires a controlled test with a known acceleration profile. However, current turn-tables have been designed primarily for generating a constant rotational velocity. To generate a profile with varying angular acceleration we propose using constant rotational velocity on the two axes of a 2-axes motion...conference paper 2016

Mulder, Max (author), Borst, C. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author)In the design of human-machine interfaces and automation, an important question is how to obtain and validate a design that is capable of supporting the operator’s understanding and situation awareness of the process under control. Whereas many research efforts address the question of ‘what is the operator aware of?’ – the awareness – only a few...conference paper 2017
