Abstract

This paper describes the design and implementation of a control-theoretic model that can be used to model both the discrete and continuous behavior of a human operator. The human operator model can be used to compare different device user interfaces in terms of human performance. The implemented human operator model combines an ON-OFF control model and a behavior-based hybrid automaton with three controllers. The controllers, defined as continuous, discrete, and fine-tuning behaviour, simulate the user's conceptual model of the user interface. The device model used is that of a commercial syringe pump with chevron keys, described as a formal specification. Results of the human operator model simulation were generated for 20 different numbers obtained from syringe pump log files. The simulation results were compared over 33 trials to a lab study employing a device based on the formal specification. The result of the simulation shows a significant similarity to the result of the lab study for all the numbers used
