Predictive Display Design for a Two-Axis Control Task.

Abstract

A simulation study has been carried out using a generalised two-axis control and guidance task to investigate predictive display design parameters. Predictive displays are found to bring about a substantial improvement in man-machine system performance over unaided manual control. Recommendations are made regarding the choice of prediction model and prediction span as a function of controlled system dynamics and input uncertainty. This study highlights the need to augment human anticipatory skills in complex control tasks, and illustrates a methodology for optimising predictive display design which could be extended to aerospace and missile guidance applications.
