Although automation is playing an increasing role on the ship's bridge, empirical research on the effectiveness of alternative bridge designs is limited. In this paper, we describe an experimental study of the benefits of integrated Information display, using a computerized simulation of a highly automated Ship's bridge. The study compared three types of interface design, which Presented radar and electronic chart information to the operator in different Ways: (a) integrated display, (b) functionally-separate display, and (c) spatially- Separate display.
