  • Abstract:
    Development Center in evaluating current Coast Guard policies and development plans for ; Waterways Management, a "Waterways Management Research and Planning" task plan was ; established as Task Area A in FY '94. The purpose of this task area is to develop decision support ; tools to assist Coast Guard waterways managers in improving the way they meet the waterway users' ; requirements for aids to navigation and waterway services. A Waterways Users research topic was ; established in 1994 and a Baseline Analysis report on Waterway Users was presented in April, ; 1995. This analysis defined the waterway users to be "vessels ofvarious types, sizes and uses, not ; the humans operating the vessels", and went on to consider the most important attributes of the ; vessels. The attributes were defined, for the most part, in physical terms (size and number of ; vessels, cargo carried, maneuverability, etc.) but consideration was given to the human dimension ; as well. One of the research tasks proposed in the Baseline Analysis was Task 2-6, User ; Requirements - Human Factors Critical to Assessment of Effectiveness of Coast Guard Aids to ; Navigation and Waterways Services. That Task, in turn, was divided into two subtasks, 2-6.1 Define ; Waterway Users by Navigational Requirements and 2-6.2 Select User Groups for In-Depth Study, ; which were funded in FY '95.
