  • The experiment showed that even without variability, participants could only accurately identify the hostile ship about 60% of the time, and introducing random movements further decreased detection rates.
  • The findings suggest that recognizing threats based solely on movement patterns is difficult, especially when adversaries introduce uncertainty, highlighting a need for tools to improve human decision-making in these scenarios.

Objective: Experimentally investigate maneuver decision preferences in navigating ships to avoid a collision. How is safety (collision avoidance) balanced against efficiency (deviation from path and delay) and rules of the road under conditions of both trajectory certainty and uncertainty.

Background: Human decision error is a prominent factor in nautical collisions, but the multiple factors of geometry of collisions and role of uncertainty have been little studied in empirical human factors literature.
