A Queueing Model of Visual Sampling Experimental Validation

Carbonell [1] recently proposed an economic model of a pilot's visual sampling behavior based on queueing theory. The results of a validation study of this model have been completed. This validation was based on instrument data and eye-movement data taken during mission flights using a Link trainer. The results of the simulation using the queueing model are shown to correlate well with eye-movement data. Characteristics of the model and results of the validation study are presented here, and suggestions for further work are discussed.
