In complex environments where the human operator is a supervisor, he must allocate his attention between different kinds of tasks for satisfactory overall performance. When a portion of the future reference trajectory for a continuous control task is available for preview, scheduling various other discrete activities is possible. A model has been developed for this situation using dynamic programming to solve an optimal control problem. An experiment was conducted where subjects controlled an airplane symbol over a map, shown a fixed distance into the future. Discrete tasks were introduced as data entry tasks. Results showed that the model compared favorably with experimental results.
