The psychophysiological arousal value assessment was tested in field measurements, yielding quantifiable arousal differences between proficiency groups of pilots during simulated and real flight conditions. The method used in this study allows an evaluation of the psychophysiological cost during a certain flying performance and thus is possibly a valuable tool for objectively evaluating the actual skill status of pilots.Johannes B, Rothe S, Gens A, Westphal S, Birkenfeld K, Mulder E, Rittweger J, Ledderhos C. Psychophysiological assessment in pilots performing challenging simulated and real flight maneuvers. Aerosp Med Hum Perform. 2017; 88(9):834-840.
Infrastructure projects in inner‐city areas are gaining in importance on the one hand and are subject to increasingly restrictive requirements due to the space available on the other. This affects not only the site installations, but also to a large extent the access to and the material handling on the construction sites. Implenia has been using the digital capabilities of BIM to improve project execution for several years. Visualisations, data management and collaboration create a transparency that is necessary to face the difficult boundary conditions. Lean Construction method of optimizing and stabilizing material flows, which is new to the infrastructure sector, can ideally use BIM digital tools to map its processes. It was obvious to use this symbiosis of the two methods.Implenia was commissioned in 2019 with the project 380 kV Kabeldiagonale Berlin with a nearly 7 km long TBM tunnel in the middle of Berlin. At this point in time, when the concepts for TBM tunnelling are being prepared, several insights can already be drawn that are ground‐breaking for the application in future projects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
