Simulating the Impact of Mental Models on Human Automation Interaction in Aviation

This work proposes a computational approach supporting the simulation of human automation interaction in aviation. The development of an advanced human agent model that accounts for workload limitations, imperfect mental models and consequences on the operator's situation awareness provides new insight for future certification procedures regarding human interaction with complex automated systems.
