Abstract

Ship bridges are control centers that operate and manage the ship as a complex socio-technical system. At the University of Jena we have established a project that aims to understand and to explain the nautical officers' behavior. This work is embedded within a broader project network that seeks to develop a ship bridge that is more standardized, more integrated and better adapted to human performance. Our way to achieve these goals involves anthropologic fieldwork and the construction of a computer simulation called Nautical PSI that models the nautical officers' psychological processes on the theoretical foundation of the PSI theory. This virtual nautical officer can be used as test driver for virtual bridges during to the design process.
