Pilot performance models

Abstract

Pilot as the controller of the aircraft whose performance is key for aviation safety. This paper investigated three main pilot models at present. The models all can solve the problems they are expected to well, but there is no model that has integrated architecture for pilot information processed. According to the characters of pilot executing tasks, the paper built the architecture of "pilot in the loop" model. The model is dynamic and has the ability to simulate the interaction of human-machine, and can also reflect the micro mechanism and macro behavior of pilots. The difficulties of modeling have been analyzed and the methods to solve the problems have also been put forward. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
