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

van Leeuwen, B.A.A. (author), Toubman, Armon (author), van der Pal, Jelke (author), Pool, D.M. (author)Current capabilities for predicting skill retention, i.e., the extent to which human operators retain learned skills over time, at an individual level are limited due to a requirement for large data sets and methods that can extract relevant patterns in highly dimensional data. This paper investigates the application of Extreme Gradient Boosting...conference paper 2023

Eppink, J.M. (author), Kolff, M.J.C. (author), Venrooij, Joost (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Due to the non-deterministic nature of longitudinal human driver behaviour, motion cueing algorithms currently cannot fully utilize the workspace of driving simulators. This paper explores the possibility of using various predictor variables to predict longitudinal driving behaviour. Through the development of a logistic regression model, it is...conference paper 2023

Kolff, M.J.C. (author), Venrooij, Joost (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)In driving simulation, the choice of a simulator, motion cueing algorithm, and associated set of tuning parameters for an experiment is typically made with an exclusive focus on the quality of the motion. In practice, many other metrics could affect this choice as well, such as tuning complexity, algorithm stability, or the financial costs of...conference paper 2023

Kotian, V. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Happee, R. (author)Users of automated vehicles will move away from being drivers to passengers, preferably engaged in other activities such as reading or using laptops and smartphones, which will strongly increase susceptibility to motion sickness. Similarly, in driving simulators, the presented visual motion with scaled or even without any physical motion causes...conference paper 2023

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

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

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

Kolff, M.J.C. (author), Venrooij, Joost (author), Schwienbacher, Markus (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)BMW’s new driving simulation center operates multiple motion-base simulators – each with a different kinematic configuration – to serve various experiment use-cases and requirements of simulator users. The selection of a simulator for each experiment should ideally be based on their relative strengths and weaknesses. To support this decision...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

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

Marschalk, S. (author), Luteijn, P.C. (author), van Os, D. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), de Visser, C.C. (author)As of April 2019, upset prevention and recovery training in flight simulation training devices is a mandatory practice for commercial and civil aircraft pilots. Aircraft stalls are a well-known upset type, therefore simulation of aircraft stall behavior is required. A key characteristic of stalls is the stall buffet, which in current stall...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. A major and still largely open research question is which level of model fidelity is required for effective 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

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
