Know Your Options – Interfacing Consequences and Forecasted Performance Analysis: A Concept for the Novel Type of Information System KYO-ICPA

Abstract

Knowing the options of situated behavior is a necessary assumption for optimal behavior. Stimulated by previously published ideas of a posteriori calculating of the human action space to analyze the human performance behavior with respect to upcoming positive or negative events, the idea should be used online. Combining interaction rules, human operators' behavior as well as knowledge describing the system behavior to be controlled, related actual and forecasted information will be calculated and shown to the operator in realtime. Two different kind of information has to be distinguished: hazard-oriented and optimal behavior-oriented ones. Hazard-oriented information (HOI) is used to those information showing upcoming conflicts leading directly to hazards with respect to humans, systems, or environments safety. Optimal behavior-oriented information (OBOI) is denoted as those information feeding back the consequences of the operators actual behavioral interaction strategy in relation to calculated optimal ones. Using the example of a novel type of human driver assistance system realized using a driver-in-the-loop test rig coupled with a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) hybrid-electric powertrain all related information from the technical system as well as from the drivers interaction can be used and integrated for the use in the novel cognitive-based information and assistance system KYO-ICPA developed at the Chair of Dynamics and Control, U DuE.
