Modeling of the Human Pilot time delay Using Padé Series

Abstract

Investigation of the human behavior is in the focus of attention of researchers since many decades. This problem is actual and important also present day. Main purpose of the author is to summarize theoretical backgrounds dealing with mathematical modeling of the human pilot behavior. Second interesting topic being investigated is to give some approximated models of the human pilot applying Padé approximation method. Importance of this paper is in derivation and application of higher order Padé approximants to model human pilot behavior. This new approach allows to model pilot behavior more precisely than before with applying the common first order approximants. The lower and higher order approximants will be analyzed both in time and in frequency domain. A new MATLAB embedded m-file is created by the author to analyze pilot mathematical models.
