Recreational Boat Safety Collision Research - Phase II. Volume I. Problems Definition; Safety Enhancement Concepts.

Abstract

The conditions surrounding recreational boating collisions were probed in an attempt to obtain the information required to document probable causes and possible collision reduction techniques. This document summarizes the results of research accomplished to date as well as required additional efforts, with regard to the following: results of three experiments designed to measure the effects of certain stressors on the performance of pleasure boat operators; results of a data analysis effort designed to identify the presence of stressors in pleasure boat collisions; collision cause problem identification using inputs from experiments, data analysis, and Collision Research, Phase I, results; and Collision reduction method identification (Safety Enhancement Concepts). Problems requiring further research. (Author)
