"Gate"-Based Human-in-the-Loop Cyber-Physical System Framework with Human Behaviour and Health Engagement

Abstract

This paper proposes a Gate-based human-in-the-loop (HiTL) cyber-physical system (CPS) framework that is human-centric. Human, a complex component in CPS, contributes errors to the CPS due to human fatigue, behaviour and false sense of security. The proposed framework maximizes human performance by considering the human behavior and his/her health. A simulated water pouring task is performed to evaluate the performance of the framework. The simulation results showed that the proposed framework allows the simulated operator to consistently complete the task efficiently with higher accuracy as compared to a common framework which generalizes existing HiTL architecture.
