This book was released on 1990 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The simulator experiment reported here is a component of the USCG waterway Performance, Design and Evaluation Study, and was done for the development of a procedure to predict performance or risk in a waterway from the characteristics of user traffic. A sample of seven commercial ships, ranging in size from a 33,000 deadweight ton (dwt) bulker to a 250,000 dwt tanker, made multiple transits, under similar channel and environmental conditions, controlled by commercial pilots, in a experiment conducted at the simulator at the USCG Academy in New London, Connecticut. A preliminary analysis that found that piloted performance data grouped over all transits for a given ship varied as expected with ship size (displacement), but was not sensitive to controllability indices. A more detailed analysis by individual runs found that performance was sensitive to these indices.

Book excerpt: This experiment is one of a series done for the U.S. Coast Guard to quantify the relationship between variables related to aids to navigation and piloting performance in narrow channels and, potentially, safety in such channels. This is one of several experiments restricted to visual piloting, and further to buoys only. It was done on a simulator built for the U.S. Coast Guard at Eclectech Associates in North Stonington, Connecticut. The variables evaluated were: Ship Characteristics: an 80,000 dwt tanker with a rear bridge and an 80-foot height of eye versus a 30,000 dwt tanker with a midship bridge and a 45-foot height of eye; Size and Complexity of Bow Image: larger and smaller bow image for the 30,000 dwt tanker; Speed of transit: 6 knots versus 10 knots; buoy density: a three-buoy turn and short (5/8 nm) spaced, gated buoys versus a one-buoy turn and long (1-1/4 nm) spaced, staggered buoys; and Underkeel clearance: 1 foot versus 600 feet. Only selected combinations of these variables were included as scenarios in the experiment. Tasks and wind and current effects were varied within the scenarios. The findings are presented as the means and standard deviations of crosstrack position of transits under each condition. Observed differences in their inherent controllability parameters to provide a methodology for extrapolating the findings to a variety of ships not included in the experiment.
