The report describes one of a series of man-in-the-loop simulation studies designed to assist the USCG in the design and evaluation of systems of aids to navigation in restricted waterways. Previous experiments have examined various arrangements of aids while treating the aids themselves as fixed, rather than floating, objects. The present experiment evaluated the effects on buoy excursions from their assigned positions. The distance of buoy excursion had non-significant, but systematic, effects on waterway performance and risk. The direction of current and buoy excursion had major effects on shiphandling, waterway performance, and risk. The report contains interim guidelines to allow the application of the findings to the procedures in the SRA Systems Design Manual. (rh)
