Abstract

Abstract : A procedure is developed for using human response theory and the analytic methods of optimal control theory to analyze a complex manual control task. The central element in the procedures is a model of the human operator that is based on the assumption that well-trained operators perform optimally subject to certain inherent limitations. Recent results in human response theory provide the representation of the human's limitations. Optimal control theory is then used to predict closed-loop human and system performance. The manual control of the longitudinal position of a hovering VTOL vehicle is analyzed using the developed techniques. (Author)
