A Study of the Effect of Peripheral Vision Motion Cues on Roll Axis Tracking

Abstract

Six subjects were used as controllers for an experiment in which compensatory roll axis tracking was performed with and without the presence of peripheral vision motion cues. Two different controlled plant dynamics were simulated on an analog computer. Control was commanded via a force stick located in a stationary fighter aircraft cockpit mockup. Controlled plant roll rate, in the form of vertically moving black and white grid lines, was displayed on two 21-inch television screens positioned on either side of the cockpit. RMS error scores and time histories were recorded for individual runs. Frequency domain analysis and data averaging techniques were used to study and compare subject performance.
