Human-in-the-Loop Issue in Context of the Cyber-Physical Systems

Abstract

This paper presents the introduction to the Human-in-the-loop issue connected to the concept of the Cyber-physical systems (CPS). In this context, the brief overview of CPS is provided, with emphasis on the role of human in cooperation with CPS. Such systems are often called Human-in-the-Loop Cyber-Physical Systems (HiLCPSs). The following part of this paper brings the short background of HiLCPS and approaches for human performance assessment. The last part deals with example of human performance assessment based on the real data. For these purposes, several approaches is used, e.g. evaluation of measured human responses or evaluation of human dynamic properties based on the modelling of human behavior. The input data was collected using measurements with real human/pilots. Due to many realized tests with pilots in the different stage of training, there is statistically relatively significant set of input data.
