A Man as the Regulator in Man-Machine Systems

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to present the role of the human element in regularly used man-machine systems (MMS). From the technical point of view, it is possible to denote the human being and the machine as two components of one system. In the second part of the article, the authors introduce the results obtained through simulations of the human driver model; these simulations are focused on the quality of the control process. The structure of the model facilitates the detection and analysis of human error identifiers.
