This book assesses the state of practice and use of ship-bridge simulators in the professional development and licensing of deck officers and marine pilots. It focuses on full-mission computer-based simulators and manned models. It analyzes their use in instruction, evaluation and licensing and gives information and practical guidance on the establishment of training and licensing program standards, and on simulator and simulation validation.

As a result of the Phase 1 investigation, many specific gaps were identified in the empirical research literature regarding the use of simulators for mariner training. These gaps cover a wide range of variables relative to simulation and its influence upon training effectiveness and performance validity. Phase 2 clarifies several of the more important issues facing the design and use of simulators for mariner training by initiating a systematic investigation of several simulation and training program variables. The variables investigated during this phase of the research were: color/black and white visual scene, day/night simulation, horizontal field of view, target controllability, feedback methodology, and instructor differences.

This phase of the USCG Training and Licensing project established a methodology for determining performance standards to be used in measuring simulator training effectiveness. The Computer Aided Operations Research Facility (CAORF) Shiphandling Simulator was utilized to measure the shiphandling performance of experts, i.e., pilots. Special scenarios were designed to cover a variety of training objectives relevant to shiphandling. These objectives included: approaching a harbor, responding to a rudder failure in confined waters, negotiating a 51 turn with passing ship effects, negotiating a 129 turn around a shoal with incoming traffic, and responding to a propulsion failure in the vicinity of a bridge and shoal. Fourteen pilots were run through these scenarios in order to assess the responses of shiphandling experts to the test situations. Fourteen chief mates, upgrading to the master level, were then run through the same scenarios. The chief mates were considered novice shiphandlers. This report includes a detailed description of the test scenarios, performance measures, expert and novice data, and a method for deriving performance criteria to be used in assessing the effectiveness of simulator training.
