HUMAN FACTORS ISSUES IN ADVANCED BRIDGE SYSTEMS

The author takes a look at a one-man operated ship control center and at the relevant human factors associated with changes in bridge design. Topics covered include: implications of changes in bridge design for operator's performance; high workload conditions facing the one-man operator as he attempts to integrate information from various displays; skills and training required of a dual-license bridge operator; visibility requirements for the primary work station; the need for revising bridge layout guidelines to take into account the one-man operator situation; and the implementation of expert systems to assist operators who have a limited knowledge of particular shipboard subsystems.
