Use of the Optimal Control Model in the Design of Motion Cue Experiments,

Abstract

An experiment is presented in which effects of roll motions on human operator performance were investigated. The motion cues considered were the result of commanded vehicle motion and vehicle disturbances. An optimal control pilot-vehicle model was used in the design of the experiment and to predict system performance before executing the experiment. The model predictions and experimental results are compared. Seventy-eight percent of the model predictions are compared. The high correlation between model predictions and system performance indicate the usefulness of the predictive model for experimental design and for prediction of pilot performance influenced by motion cues.
