Control theoretic concept for intuitive guidance of pilots during taxiing

▸ Concept of intuitive guidance of pilots during taxiing is successfully realized ▸ Modeling in cooperation with airline copilots used for controller design ▸ Simulator trials to validate the concept ▸ Feed Forward controller often performs best Improvement using PI2 controller combined with Smith-Predictor in some cases ▸ In many cases no feedback controller necessary — Feed Forward approach is sufficient ▸ Potential for improvement in controller initialization
