| Description | The task was performed with subjects using visual-only cues and combined visual and roll-axis motion cues. Half of the experimental trials were conducted with the simulator rotating about the horizontal axis; to suppress the tilt cue, the remaining trials were conducted with the simulator cab tilted 90 deg so that roll-axis motions were about earth vertical. The presence of the tilt cue allowed a substantial and statistically significant reduction in performance scores. When the tilt cue was suppressed, the availability of motion cues did not result in significant performance improvement. These effects were accounted for by the optimal-control pilot/vehicle model, wherein the presence or absence of various motion cues was represented by appropriate definition of the perceptual quantities assumed to be used by the human operator. |
