A DISCRETE STOCHASTIC OPTIMAL CONTROL MODEL OF THE HUMAN OPERATOR IN A CLOSED-LOOP TRACKING TASK.

Abstract

A discrete stochastic optimal control model of the human operator is developed for the single-loop compensatory/pursuit tracking situation. The model generates signals corresponding to those in the physical closed-loop tracking situation. There is one parameter which is varied to match model-experimental normalized tracking error at one data point. With this parameter fixed, the model then predicts normalized tracking error and power spectra of control loop signals for an input which approximates a rectangular power spectrum. The model is applied to simple first and second order controlled elements in both compensatory and pursuit display situations. (Author)
