Visualizing Rules, Regulations, and Procedures in Ecological Information Systems

Increasing automation in aviation has played a key role in the rapid development of the aviation industry in the last decades. Without any doubt, it has vastly increased safety and efficiency. Automation will continue to play an important role in the future. Consensus exists that this does not necessarily mean only increasing the level of...

Preventing Loss of Aircraft Control: Aiding pilots in manual recovery from roll-limited situations

Loss of aircraft lateral control can be problem, specifically when multi engine propeller aircraft are faced with an engine failure. Another, less frequent phenomena is the loss of lateral control in case of aircraft damage. In this thesis, a method is developed to determine the minimum required aircraft velocity as a function of aircraft state...

Systematic Framework for Teleoperation with Haptic Shared Control

Teleoperation – performing tasks remotely by controlling a robot – permits the execution of many important tasks that would otherwise be infeasible for people to carry out directly. Nuclear accident recovery, deep water operations, and remote satellite servicing are just three examples. Remote task execution principally offers two extremes for...
