Download or read book Human Performance Modeling in Aviation written by David C. Foyle and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2007-12-07 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the research activities of the six-year NASA human performance modeling project, Human Performance Modeling in Aviation provides an in-depth look at cognitive modeling of human operators for aviation problems. This book presents specific solutions to aviation safety problems and explores methods for integrating human performance modeling into the aviation design process. The text compares the application of five different models to two classes of aviation problems: pilot navigation errors during airport taxi operations and approach and landing performance with synthetic vision systems. This results in a comprehensive summary of the capabilities of each model and of the field in general.
