TOWARD A COCKPIT DESIGN: USING CAORF TO MODIFY THE TRADITIONAL WHEELHOUSE

The Computer-Aided Operations Research Facility (CAORF) is described in terms of its unique simulator capabilities and overall research objectives. Through CAORF experimental studies, the evaluation of traditional wheelhouse designs toward an advanced integrated bridge system approach is emphasized. Conceptual integrated display designs are proposed to improve the effectiveness of bridge operations by facilitating the deck officer's monitoring, control and decision-making performance with respect to ship handling and navigation functions.
