Reliability of Human Subject - Artifical System Interactions

Paper for ACTA POLYTECHNICA. Main problems related to reliability of interaction between human subject and artificial system (namely of the transportation character) are discussed. The paper consists of three mayor parts...

Driving Simulators for HMI Research

Ing. Petr Bouchner - PhD. Thesis. This work presents a compact view on the discipline of driving simulation. It introduces some of world-class research driving simulators and problems of their design and construction as well. A validation of the simulator functions and validation of the experiments to be preformed on the driving simulator are described here. Then the requirements on such a device are analyzed and different approaches to visual, audio and motion cueing are discussed. The thesis in its second part describes using the driving simulators for research purposes. A complex system which involves a simulator incorporated into a set of measuring devices is described in detail, ways of data collection and analysis are shown. The last and most comprehensive chapter illustrates the possibilities of the driving simulator use through the mediation of the complex analyses of four experiments (which concurrently follows main ways of our investigation); the two experiments concerning driver’s fatigue, summarization of a set of HMI related measurements and the experiment focused on influence of an outer environment on driving.

Challenge of Human Factor Influence for Car Safety

Human society needs still more intensive exploitation of all kinds of transportation facilities. This need lasts already several decades and will be much more imperative in future. Mobility is one of most strict requirements for survival, besides the energy and food resources, health care and security...

Problems of artificial system - human subject interaction reliability

The problem of interaction reliability between artificial system and human being (operator, user), though extremely important, is still not solved satisfactorily, even the control of dominant part of complex and complicated systems is now realized by computer or at least by computer assistance. ...

Reliability of man-system interaction and theory of neural networks operations

This talk concerns the problem of the reliability of interactions in complicated artificial systems involving the combination of artificial- and human- based functional blocks. Such composed systems are typical for many applications in present human society, appearing in science, industry, business, finance, medical care, transportation, defense etc. ...
