Electrovibration technology enables tactile texture rendering on capacitive touchscreens by modulating friction between the finger and the screen through electrostatic attraction forces, generated by applying an alternating voltage signal to the screen. Accurate signal calibratio

One of the most widely applied identification methods for stall modeling using flight test data is based on Kirchhoff’s method of flow separation. However, this approach has not lead to a satisfactory aerodynamic pitching moment model. The introduction of the so-called X-variable

An online pilot manual control behavior identification method, based on recursive low-order time-series model estimation, is presented and validated using experimental data. Eight participants performed compensatory tracking tasks with time-varying vehicle dynamics, where, at an

To improve the safety of commercial air transport, pilots are required to train on simulators to recognize the characteristics of an impending stall and subsequently correctly recover from it. To prevent negative training, it is important that the accuracy of the used simulation

As users transition from drivers to passengers in automated vehicles, they often take their eyes off the road to engage in non-driving activities. In driving simulators, visual motion is presented with scaled or without physical motion, leading to a mismatch between expected and

Recent aircraft have seen the implementation of touchscreens (TSCs) on the flight deck, as they enable more intuitive and direct human-machine interactions. However, biodynamic feedthrough (BDFT), i.e., the direct transmission of the aircraft's accelerations through the pilot's b

While human control behavior is well-understood in continuous control tasks, little is still known about how human operators detect sudden changes in the controlled element dynamics. This paper focuses on modeling this detection phase for pursuit tracking tasks. Potential trigger

This paper presents a three-step validation approach for subjective rating predictions of driving simulator motion incongruences based on objective mismatches between reference vehicle and simulator motion. This approach relies on using high-resolution rating predictions of open-

Aerodynamic stall has been a critical factor in recent aircraft crashes, leading to revised regulations for simulator-based stall prevention and recovery training. However, the updated regulations still lack an objectively defined level of accuracy for simulators' stall models th

The identification of time-varying, adaptive behavior of a human operator in basic manual control tasks is currently still a focus area, since most methodologies only account for time-invariant system dynamics. Previous authors have proven that estimation techniques based on ARX

The collective goal of the driving simulation community should be to share ideas to improve the motion cueing across driving simulators worldwide. Due to the active research and intensive usage of driving simulators over the last decades, knowledge in the field of motion cueing h

In moving-base driving simulators, the sensation of the inertial car motion provided by the motion system is controlled by the motion cueing algorithm (MCA). Due to the difficulty of reproducing the inertial motion in urban simulations, accurate prediction tools for subjective ev

Ensuring Safe and Effective Touchscreen Use in Moving Vehicles
Touch interfaces are replacing physical buttons, dials, and switches in the new generation of cars, aircraft, and vessels. However, vehicle vibrations and accelerations perturb finger movements and cause erroneous touchscreen inputs by users. Furthermore, unlike physical buttons,

Users of automated vehicles will engage in other activities and take their eyes off the road, making them prone to motion sickness. To resolve this, the current paper validates models predicting sickness in response to motion and visual conditions. We validate published models of
