In comparison with the high level of knowledge about vehicle dynamics which exists
nowadays, the role of the driver in the driver–vehicle system is still relatively poorly …

Background: The vestibular system detects head accelerations within 6 degrees of freedom.
How well this is accomplished is described by vestibular perceptual thresholds. They are a …

Abstract Variable Structure Control Systems (VSCS) are a class of systems where the control
law, as a function of the system state, is deliberately changed (from one structure to another) …

The relationship between the amplitude of motion and the accumulation of motion sickness
in time is unclear. Here, we investigated this relationship at the individual and group level …

Mathematical representations of human control behaviour have played a very important part
in manned aviation, especially in the definition of aircraft handling qualities requirements …

In previous research, direction detection thresholds have been measured and successfully
modeled by exposing participants to sinusoidal acceleration profiles of different durations. In …

The study of human–machine interaction as a unique control system was one of the first
research interests in the engineering field, with almost a century having passed since the …

MODERN aircraft are designed to incorporate actuator redundancy of different forms to
provide tolerance to faults. Incidents such as the Kalita Air freighter in Detroit, Michigan …

The research presented in this paper is part of a longer-term project to develop overall
fidelity requirements for simulated helicopter shipboard operations to inform and support first …

Multisensory stimuli originating from the same event can be perceived asynchronously due
to differential physical and neural delays. The transduction of and physiological responses …
