Deldycke, Pieter-Jan (author), van Baelen, D. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)The use of haptic feedback as a tool for skill training has shown benefits for the formation ofmotor-memory and support for certain temporal tasks. Therefore, this research focuses on the development of a haptic aid for supporting the training of the challenging manual flare maneuver in initial pilot training. The haptic aid, which consisted of...conference paper 2018

van Grootheest, Andries (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Time-varying human-operator (HO) adaptation in basic manual-control tasks is barely understood, as most HO identification methods do not explicitly take into account time variations. An identification procedure based on both batch and recursive autoregressive exogenous (ARX) models is used in this paper for captur- ing HO adaptation to time...conference paper 2018

van der El, Kasper (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Due to linear perspective, the visual stimulus provided by a previewed reference trajectory reduces with increasing distance ahead. This paper investigates the effects of linear perspective on human use of preview in manual control tasks. Results of a human-in-the-loop tracking experiment are presented, where the linear perspective&#x0027...journal article 2018

van der El, Kasper (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)This paper investigates how humans use a previewed target trajectory for control in tracking tasks with various controlled element dynamics. The human's hypothesized "near" and "far" control mechanisms are first analyzed offline in simulations with a quasi-linear model. Second, human control behavior is quantified by fitting the same model to...journal article 2018

van der El, Kasper (author), Padmos, S. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)In manual control tasks, preview of the target trajectory ahead is often limited by poor lighting, objects, or display edges. This paper investigates the effects of limited preview, or preview time, in manual tracking tasks with single- and double-integrator controlled element dynamics. A quasi-linear human controller model is used to predict...journal article 2018

Wolters, Joris P. M. A. (author), van der El, Kasper (author), Damveld, H.J. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)This paper investigates the effects of simulator motion on driver steering performance, and how this depends on the available visual information and external disturbances such as wind gusts. A human-in-the-loop driving experiment was performed in which twelve participants steered a fixedvelocity car to follow a winding road (target tracking, TT)...conference paper 2018

Rezunenko, Evgeny (author), van der El, Kasper (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)In manual tracking tasks with preview of the target trajectory, humans have been modeled as dual-mode “near” and “far” viewpoint controllers. This paper investigates the physical basis of these two control mechanisms, and studies whether estimated viewpoint positions represent those parts of the previewed trajectory which humans use for control....conference paper 2018

Wagenaar, S.E. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Damveld, H.J. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Traditional Frequency Response Function (FRF) estimation techniques used for analysis of Human Controller (HC) dynamics in tracking tasks assume HC dynamics to be linear, but generally do not quantify or compensate for the effects of human nonlinearities. The robust and fast Best Linear Approximation (BLA) techniques for estimating an FRF do...conference paper 2018

(author), Mulder, Max (author), Bülthoff, Heinrich H. (author)Today, simulators are achieving levels of complexity and cost that are comparable to those of the aircraft they should replace. For this reason, questions have been raised, in both the technical and training communities, on the required level of simulation 1delity for effective pilot training. Computer Based Trainers (CBTs) are not currently...conference paper 2018

Eigenmode Distortion as a Novel Criterion for Motion Cueing Fidelity in Rotorcraft Flight SimulationMiletović, I. (author), Pavel, M.D. (author), Stroosma, O. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Wentink, Mark (author), Mulder, Max (author)Eigenmode distortion (EMD) is a novel methodology developed to study the degradation of perceived vehicle dynamics as a result of motion cueing algorithms (MCA’s) applied in rotorcraft 2ight simulators. This paper brie2y introduces EMD and subsequently describes its application in a pilot-in-the-loop experiment conducted on the SIMONA Research...conference paper 2018

van der El, Kasper (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Novel (semi-)automated systems are rapidly being introduced into modern road vehicles, but anticipating possibly critical human-machine interaction issues is difficult, because the human driver’s behavior is as of yet still poorly understood. This paper aims to improve our understanding and models of driver steering behavior on winding roads,...conference paper 2018

Drop, F.M. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author), Bülthoff, Heinrich H. (author)Realistic manual control tasks typically involve predictable target signals and random disturbances. The human controller (HC) is hypothesized to use a feedforward control strategy for target-following, in addition to feedback control for disturbance-rejection. Little is known about human feedforward control, partly because common system...journal article 2017

Duarte, R.F.M. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)In this paper, the Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) model identification framework is applied to estimating time-varying human controller (HC) dynamics in a single-loop tracking task. Given the inherently unknown time changes in HC behavior, a global LPV approach with experimentally determined Scheduling Functions (SFs) is needed for this...conference paper 2017

Miletović, I. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Stroosma, O. (author), Pavel, M.D. (author), Wentink, M (author), Mulder, Max (author)The fidelity of a rotorcraft flight simulator is influenced by many factors, such as the vehicle dynamic model and the motion cueing algorithm (MCA). To quantify the fidelity of a simulator objectively requires detailed knowledge of human pilot perception and control behaviour that is not yet available. As a consequence, subjective...conference paper 2017

van der El, K. (author), Barendswaard, S. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)In many practical control tasks, human controllers (HC) can preview the trajectory they must follow in the near future. This paper investigates the effects of the length of previewed target trajectory, or preview time, on HC behavior in rate tracking tasks. To do so, a human-in-the-loop experiment was performed, consisting of a combined target...conference paper 2016
