The research reported here is part of the United States Coast Guard's Performance of Aids to Navigation (AN) Systems Project. The objective of the project is to provide guidelines for evaluation and design of AN systems in restricted waterways. The major effort has been the simulator evaluation of aid systems under a variety of conditions. This experiment was designed to evaluate aid arrangements, identified as versatile and high-performing in a variety of situations, in their support of meeting traffic. The data provide a realistic-to-conservative estimate of the risk of collision when large ships meet in narrow channels. The simulation included a realistic view of the traffic ship, bank and ship interaction efforts and an unpredictability to the track on which the traffic ship approached.
