Simulation of Coast Guard Vessel Traffic Service Operations by Model and Experiment.
Abstract
A technique for computer simulation of operations of U.S. Coast Guard Vessel Traffic Services is described and verified with data obtained in four field studies. Uses of the technique are discussed and illustrated. A field experiment is described in which Vessel Traffic Service watchstanders were tested in simulated operations at traffic loads well in excess of routine levels. The strategies adopted are identified and discussed with regard to their implications for operating procedures and appropriate recommendations are offered. (Author)
