Outline of Final Research Achievements

The estimation algorithm of the operator condition using identified operator mode was discussed. The operator models of the drone and self-driving car were identified as a response model to the vehicle motion and the condition change around the car such as a distance to the forward car. The output of the operator model are control behavior and the movement of the viewpoint. These model structures enable to analyze the inner condition of the human operator.
The flight and driving simulator were conducted and the operating experiments of a drone and self-driving car with and without subtask were performed. The relations between the identified model and the workload imposed by the subtask were analyzed. The result indicated that the residual and the model variations of the identified model have correlations with the workload.
