Time-Varying Identification of Human Look-Ahead Times in Preview Tracking Tasks

Future human-machine control tasks with preview (e.g., car driving) are expected to include automation for safety, but keep operators in charge for liability. Such shared control applications require time-varying human identification because the control feedback should be compatible with the operator's variable behavior. A promising time-domain...

Estimation of Time-Varying Human Manual Control Behaviour in Preview Tracking Tasks Using a Dual Extended Kalman Filter

This research applied a Dual Extended Kalman Filter (DEKF) to time-varying human operator (HO) parameter estimation in preview tracking tasks. The preview time parameter was of particular interest, as the amount of preview can be highly variable in practical situations. The filter was centered around a linear cybernetic HO model with six...
