Abstract
This paper is concerned with the research activities on man-machine systems at the Department of industrial Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology. The research is carried out in field situations as well as in the department laboratory by means of a digital simulation of an industrial distillation process. After a brief survey of research topics, a description is given of simulation soft- and hardware. In the second part the results of a pilot-study with the simulated process are presented. The aim of this study was to acquire experience with the simulation itself and to investigate the learning behaviour of experienced and non-experienced subjects At the same time the effects of speeding up the simulation on control performance and control behaviour were investigated.
