Pilot Modeling for Manned Simulation. Volume I.

Abstract

The optimal control model of the pilot has been extended to incorporate motion as well as visual cues so that it can be used to compare fixed-base, moving-base and VFR/IFR differences in simulator systems. The motion cues are included by adding the semi-circular canal and otolith dynamics to the state vector, with the vestibular firing rates available as additional inputs to the kalman filter/predictor. The psycho-physical thresholds are modeled as dead-zone elements. Details of the visual and motion cue extensions to the model are described and comparisons of predicted and experimental results are presented. (Author)
