A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO VALIDATE SHIP MANOEUVRING SIMULATORS FOR RESEARCH AND TRAINING PURPOSES

Maritime navigation research and training is executed for a considerable amount on the basis of simulation. Ship manoeuvring simulators are frequently used when research and training on the actual ship on the waterway or in the harbour under consideration is infeasible. There are several types of ship manoeuvring simulators that vary a great deal in fidelity and sophistication. The appropriateness of a simulator as a research and training device is judged by the validity of the results. Validity of the results of a research or training project by means of a simulator depends on the fidelity of the simulator, the effectiveness of the research and training methodology applied and on the objectives of the particular project.
