SOME APPLICATIONS OF HUMAN ENGINEERING TO WHEELHOUSE DESIGN

The different designs of ship bridges, pre-eminently a man/machine interface, are discussed and some aspects of the research methods are considered. Extracts from a questionnaire on bridge layout, perception of the environment, bridge and instrument lighting etc, as presented to captains and pilots are given, and the division of the bridge floor space into four sections is suggested.
