AIDS TO NAVIGATION PRINCIPAL FINDINGS REPORT: VALIDATION FOR A SIMULATOR-BASED DESIGN PROJECT
This report describes the validation of a marine simulator developed at Ship Analytics, Inc., North Stonington, CT by comparing performance data collected at sea with performance data collected on the simulator. Ships were tracked electronically at sea and other data were collected manually in Chesapeake Bay--in the approach to Baltimore, MD, and Narragansett Bay--in the approach to Providence., RI. The conditions observed in these restricted waterways were modeled on the simulator, and pilot performance was compared. This evaluation identifies the strengths and limitations of the simulator and the need for possible adjustments.
