A model of the human decision maker observing a dynamic system

In this report a model of the human observer and decision maker is described. A submodel of the human observer is formulated in linear estimation theoretical terms including the perception of the displayed information of a linear process and the central information processing stage. The subsequent decision process is described in terms of...

The effect of visual information on the manual approach and landing

The visual scene is an important source of information for the manual approach and landing task. This study deals with the effect of this information in combination with basic display information on the manual approach performance. In this context, a pre-experimental theoretical analysis has been performed in terms of the optimal control model....

PROCRU simulation results compared with Metro II in-flight ILS approach data

The PROCRU (Procedure Oriented Crew) model has been developed for the analysis and modeling of flight crew procedures during an ILS approach. The model's specific capability concerns the generation of "timelines" of the necessary actions to be carried out by each crew member during the approach. Besides, also the corresponding timelines for...
