Modeling and Simulation
We usually think of quantitave modeling, but modeling and simulation is usually qualitative. 
Qualitative
Ex. Cognition Process (model)
- human information processing
Quantitative
  • Models as figures and tables
  • Models as equations
  • Modesl as integrated system of mathematics/simulations/theories
Model Components
Description
Cognitive
Queuing Method
  • Visual Search Module
  • Decision Making
  • Driving
  • Resource Sharing Between Tasks
Physical
HUMOSIM Framework
  • Vehicle interior geometry
  • driver anthropometry
  • basic movement building blocks
  • Expected movement duration
  • reports movement progress and results
