Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: To assist in developing shipboard automatic identification system (AIS) standards, the United States Coast Guard asked the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Marine Board, through the National Research Council (NRC) of the National Academies, to assess the state of the art in AIS display technologies, evaluate system designs and capabilities, and review the human factors aspects of operating these systems. Under the auspices of the TRB Marine Board, NRC assembled a committee of experts in instrumentation and electronic systems engineering, human factors, ship design and marine engineering, marine navigation and ship operations, and inland waterways operations. The committee's findings and recommendations are published in TRB Special Report 273, "Shipboard Automatic Identification System Displays: Meeting the Needs of Mariners." This article presents an overview of this Special Report.
