Friesen, D. (author), Pavel, M.D. (author), Borst, C. (author), Stroosma, O. (author), Masarati, Pierangelo (author), Mulder, Max (author)This paper aims to reveal the effect of different display design principles in the helicopter domain. Two different obstacle avoidance support displays are evaluated during low-altitude, forward helicopter flight: a baseline Head-Up Display (HUD) is complemented either by a conventional advisory display, or a constraint-based display inspired by...conference paper 2020

Kemna, Maarten (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Wentink, Mark (author), Mulder, Max (author)Numerous critical manual teleoperation tasks, such the control of the refueling boom during aerial refueling, require human controllers to accurately manipulate objects in the depth dimension, i.e., aligned with the viewing direction. To better understand the intricacies of depth control tasks and to be able to better support human controllers...conference paper 2020

Scholten, Pepijn (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)A variable stability in-flight simulator has the capabilities to change the response of an aircraft in-flight, often without changing the physical properties of the aircraft. The ability to adjust the aircraft response characteristics and handling qualities has various purposes, such as pilot training, control logic development and handling...conference paper 2020

Ten Brink, D. S.A. (author), Klomp, R.E. (author), Borst, C. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)In the near future, air traffic controllers are expected to adhere to stringent time and position constraints in controlling traffic. For this new task, new decision-support tools are required which include higher levels of automation, whilst letting humans remain to be the ultimate responsible for the safety of operations. In previous...conference paper 2019

Nagaraj, R. (author), Klomp, R.E. (author), Borst, C. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Future Air Traffic Management is expected to shift towards four dimensional trajectory (4DT) management, requiring new decision support tools for air traffic controllers to meet stringent time and position constraints. In previous work, a prototype human-machine interface has been developed for 4D trajectory manipulations of single aircraft....conference paper 2019

Mulder, Max (author), Yang, L. (author), Borst, C. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author)Future Air Traffic Management concepts will require air traffic controllers to move from a tactical to a strategic way of operation. This paper evaluates two novel concepts which support controllers to perform four-dimensional trajectory management in a contingency situation. The Travel Space Representation and Time-Space Diagram are both...conference paper 2019

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

van Selm, Maaike (author), Mulder, I. (author)We are living in transitional times. Much has been under debate on the need to change and to cope with societal transitions, less emphasis, however, is devoted on how to do so. Therefore, one of the primary questions in Transition Design is how to design for sustainabilitytransitions? The current work aims to evaluate ‘transition design studies’...conference paper 2019

Conversano, I. (author), del Conte, Livia (author), Mulder, I.

Mulder, S.S. (author), Boess, S.U. (author), Fritsch, Jonas (author)In this Conversation session we explored the two contrasting philosophical perspectives of Pragmatism and Inventivism. Pragmatism tends to focus on technical objects as fulfilling a purpose for mankind in a concrete situational context. In contrast, the French philosopher Gilbert Simondon introduces an Inventivist philosophical position in which...conference paper 2019

However, past experiments have shown that head-down displays can incur high workload, control instability, and even loss of control when used as the sole 2ight data source.

Scaramuzzino, Paolo Francesco (author), Pavel, M.D. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Stroosma, O. (author), Quaranta, Giuseppe (author), Mulder, Max (author)Autorotation is a flight condition whereby the engine of a helicopter is no longer supplying power to the main rotor system, which is driven solely by the upward flow of the air moving through the rotor. For helicopters, autorotation is a common emergency procedure performed by pilots to safely land the vehicle in the event of a power failure...conference paper 2019

Mulder, W.A. (author), Geevers, S. (author), van der Vegt, J. (author)Mass-lumped finite elements on tetrahedra offer more flexibility than their counterpart on hexahedra for the simulation of seismic wave propagation, but there is no general recipe for their construction, unlike as with hexahedra. Earlier, we found new elements up to degree 4 that have significantly less nodes than previously known elements by...conference paper 2019

Fu, W. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)This study revisits the active manipulator developed for manual aircraft control. The active manipulator sends the force applied by the pilot to the aircraft while feeding back the aircraft rotational velocity bymeans of its deflection angle. We find that the activemanipulator, in comparison with the conventional passive manipulator, greatly...conference paper 2019

van Baelen, D. (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Modern fly-by-wire aircraft use flight envelope protection systems, whose actions are not always clear to pilots. To promote situation awareness, proximity to the limits of the flight envelope can be communicated using haptic feedback, by providing forces through the control device. Such a system was developed and this paper reports on the...conference paper 2019
