A model for cooperation between humans and intelligent systems

The applicabillity of an adaptive human-machine interface in the cockpit

Human machine aspects of arrivals management in future air navigation environments

Constraint management and transformation

Mental load and performance at different automation levels

Network middelware illustrated for enterprise enhanced operation

Enterprises are confronted with the challenge to lower cost of product engineering. Engineers enter and leave enterprises. Much engineering know-how can be conserved for use by successive generations of engineers in documented engineering procedures, in software for simulation and in the supporting documents and simulation related data. IT can...

Development and operations in the Dutch utilisation centre

At the early beginning (1989) of implementation of the European User Support Organisation (USO) concept, development and implementation of a Dutch Utilisation Centre (DUC) started at NLR premises. After development of several pilot DUC facilities, DUC participated in a Columbus simulation mission and in the 2nd International Micro-gravity...

Human factors issues with airborne data link: Towards increased crew acceptance for both en-route and terminal flight operations

The experiments described had three main objectives: First, to validate the recommendations for an improved Man Machine Interface (MMI) design based on a Phase I experiment on the human factors of data link in glass cockpits. Second, to investigate the effect of directly loading data linked Air Traffic Control (ATC) instructions into the various...

An integrated environment for CAD/CAM of mechanical systems

The real-time Hermes robot arm simulator: HSF-P

The Hermes manipulation system (HERA) is a sophisticated space manipulator system, which has to perform tasks ranging from berthing to tool operation in various operational modes from fully automatic to purely manual. The HERA system main contractor is Fokker Space & Systems B.V. (FSS). Development and qualification of such a space-based...

The Pandora system: An interactive system for the design of data communication protocols

Investigating an automated method for the sensitivity analysis of functions

Automated sensitivity analysis approaches in system dynamics focus primarily on model parameters. Although table functions are often subjectively approximated, they do not form the focus of most sensitivity analyses. Recently, a promising approach that allows automation of sensitivity analysis on functions was proposed by Hearne (2010), but the...
