The report describes a U.S. Coast Guard project to track piloted commercial vessels for the purpose of developing simulator validation criteria. The recording of precise ship's position was conducted on the upper Chesapeake Bay using the Raydist tracking system. At the same time all pilot activities were recorded and correlated with ship position. Variables included whether or not traffic was present, direction of travel in the waterway, ship design and response characteristics, and environmental conditions. The effects of these variables in shiphandling performance are presented as statistical plots of the ship tracks. Data will be used for validating the U.S. Coast Guard ship simulator at Eclectech Associates, and more specifically the results of all aids to navigation research conducted on this simulator.
