Pool, D.M. (author), Damveld, H.J. (author), Van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, M. (author)This paper describes the preliminary results of an effort to compile data from a large number of studies that investigated the effects of variations in motion filter settings on pilot behavior. The main objective of this study is to formulate a set of mathematical rules that will allow for the tuning of behavioral pilot models to a certain...conference paper 2011

Van Wieringen, A.T. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, M. (author)Due to the significant translational heave motion at the pilot station associated with changes in aircraft pitch attitude, themotion cueing for aircraft pitchmaneuvering typically requires significant heave washout filtering. Previous studies that attempted to motivate choices in the motion cueing strategy for pitch maneuvering based on...conference paper 2011

Miletovic, I. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Stroosma, O. (author), Chu, Q.P. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author)The six degrees-of-freedom Stewart platform, or hexapod, is in widespread use in the flight simulation industry for the generation of motion cues that are representative of those experienced in actual flight. For closed-loop control of such motion platforms, but also to be able to objectively assess the quality of the generated simulator motion,...conference paper 2015

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

Lu, T. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, M. (author)With the development of moving-based flight simulators in mind, a large number of researchers have considered human manual control behavior in tasks where the motion of the controlled vehicle can be felt by the pilots. While it is known that the dynamics of the controlled vehicle are a key factor that determines the usefulness of motion feedback...conference paper 2015

Breur, S.W. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, M. (author)This paper describes an investigation into the effects of displayed error scaling on manual control behavior during compensatory roll-axis tracking. Previous experiments have indicated that for compensatory displays that, similar to an artificial horizon, present the roll tracking errors in rotational form, the deviations for typical quasi...conference paper 2010

Zaal, P.M.T. (author), Pool, D.M. (author)In order to improve the tuning process of flight simulator motion cueing filters and support the development of objective simulator motion cueing requirements, a better understanding of how multimodal pilot control behavior is affected by simulator motion fidelity is required. To this end, an experiment was performed where seven pilots performed...conference paper 2011

Pool, D.M. (author), Van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, M. (author)This paper investigates the modeling of humanmanual control behavior for pursuit tracking tasks in which target forcing functions consisting of multiple ramp-like changes in target attitude are used. Due to the use of a pursuit display and the predictability of such forcing function signals, it can be anticipated that a pursuit or precognitive...conference paper 2010

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

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

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

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

(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.

Delfosse, A. (author), de Visser, C.C. (author), Pool, D.M. (author)As of 2019, the FAA and EASA require all airline pilots to complete stall and recovery training as integral part of their training. To mitigate risks, this training takes place in ground-based simulators. To enable this, realistic models of aircraft behaviour in the stall regime need to be developed. In this paper, a newaerodynamic stall...conference paper 2022
