This study is aimed at validating a driving simulator for study of driver behavior in work zones. Previous studies had indicated the lack of safe vantage points at critical locations as a challenge in validation of driving simulators. For comprehensive validation of the driving simulator, a framework is proposed which is demonstrated using a fixedbase driving simulator. Objective and subjective...

This document bases on an innovation project by INECO aimed at developing and integrating a flight simulator in ATM (Air Traffic Management) simulation platforms. The paper documents a method for generation of aircraft flyable trajectories based on a simulation engine instead of calculated trajectories [1].

Learning to fly an aircraft is a complex task that requires the development of control skills and goal achievement strategies. This paper presents a behavioural cloning system that learns to successfully fly manoeuvres, in turbulence, of a realistic aircraft simulation. A hierarchical decomposition of the problem is employed where goal settings and the control skill to achieve them are learnt. ...

Because the amount of fuel usage is huge, and exhaust emissions of commercial transports is regulated under the Kyoto Protocol, how to reduce fuel consumption is an urgent problem for all airlines. The airlines urgently need a practical method to reduce fuel consumptions within constraints to accomplish the mission. The objective for the present paper is to use a model-based method and flight d...
