“…The main drawback of subjective assessment methods is their poor reproducibility. A potentially valuable alternative, given the known adaptability of human control dynamics to changes in the controlled system (McRuer and Jex, 1967), is to use a cybernetic approach (Mulder et al, 2013;Pool and Zaal, 2016). The cybernetic approach enables objective detection of changes in pilot control by fitting control-theoretic models of human behavior with physically interpretable parameters to experimental data.…”

“…The cybernetic approach enables objective detection of changes in pilot control by fitting control-theoretic models of human behavior with physically interpretable parameters to experimental data. This approach has been used to quantify the sensitivity of human control behavior to many different factors such as simulator fidelity assessment (Zaal et al, 2009b;Mulder et al, 2013;Pool and Zaal, 2016), but not yet for investigating MUAD.…”

“…In this paper, maximum unnoticeable added dynamics and their dependence on the dynamics of the baseline (BSL) controlled system are determined using an objective cybernetic approach, which has been applied successfully in previous research on manual control (Mulder et al, 2013;Pool and Zaal, 2016). A human-in-the-loop simulator experiment is described with which human pitch tracking data was collected for added dipole dynamics of increasing magnitude perturbing the baseline controlled dynamics (Wood and Hodgkinson, 1980).…”

Maximum unnoticeable added dynamics (MUAD) envelopes have been largely used to assess the adequacy of low-order equivalent systems (LOES) in handling qualities assessment and simulator validation. However, research has shown that more thorough verification of the adequacy of this method is required. This paper studies the influence of the baseline aircraft dynamics on the MUAD envelopes. The assessment is based on quantitative measures of pilot control behaviour obtained with the cybernetic approach. The measures were taken from a human-in-the-loop pitch tracking task experiment with compensatory display. The results are consistent with the MUAD envelopes and reveal no interaction effects of the baseline and added dynamics on the pilot control behaviour. This suggests that, under the considered conditions, the MUAD envelopes shall remain constant independently of the bandwidth of the baseline controlled dynamics.

“…The rotated high-pass filter for the three axis directions usually use the method described above. Since rotated high-pass filter for the direction of three axes is a second-order linear filter, the time domain solution given by the literature [2], only giving parameters select results, the parameters of the high-pass filter are shown in Table 2-3. …”

Abstract-The acceleration of the speed of the quay crane for containers has raised a higher demand to the dynamic simulation system which is the key part of the simulator in the coast container crane. So it is very necessary to do this research on it. This essay, aimed at the seat motion system of training simulator in the coast container crane, lays a study on the key points in the design of the proprioceptive simulation algorithm of the bridge crane simulator and proposes the realization method for it. This method can help to find the most proper washout point and optimizes the fixed parameter so as to be able to improve the simulation fidelity by offering a better system. It also establishes the simulation model by MATLAB on the basis of which it operates the simulation calculation and analysis on a group of practical motion data. The result shows that this algorithm provides an effective way for the application of the TDOF simulator.

A Cybernetic Approach to Assess the Training of Manual Control Skills

This paper presents a cybernetic approach to assess the training of manual control skills in simulators. The approach uses multi-channel pilot models that separate pilots' responses to visual and motion stimuli. This allows for a quantitative analysis of pilots' use of visual and motion cues for manual aircraft control, as well as the evolution of these control skills during training and after transfer. The cybernetic approach was applied to data from a quasi-transferof-training experiment performed in the SIMONA Research Simulator at Delft University of Technology. In this experiment, fully task-naive participants were trained to perform an aircraft pitch attitude tracking task in a fixed-base simulator environment. After training, participants were transferred to a motion-base simulator environment. Results indicate that the cybernetic approach is successful in revealing progressive changes in participants' utilization of visual and motion cues -i.e., their equalization dynamics -during training and after transfer. Furthermore, the results show that convergence to a final skill-based manual control strategy requires significant training.
