In this article, the perceptual load imposed on the pilot monitoring a system is discussed. And a theoretical model of this load is tested against experimental data. This model is based on a system state estimation model to be associated with the internal representation of the task environment.
Abstract
The ever increasing complexity of aerospace vehicles is associated with a greater emphasis on the monitor and decision making functions of the pilot. This paper deals with the perceptual load imposed on the pilot monitoring his system. A theoretical model of this load is tested against experimental data. This model is based on a system state estimation model to be associated with the internal representation of the task environment.
