This report documents the CAORF Validation Studies conducted during CAORF acceptance testing and the early research experimentation phases. The specific areas of validation were hardware, information processing and behavioral validation. The validation testing to date indicates that: (1) The simulated ship reacts as its real world equivalent does. (2) The bridge equipment and visual scene react realistically to position and heading changes of ownship and traffic vessels. (3) The realism of the visual scene and radar display has been deemed satisfactory by experienced subjects. (4) Accuracy in distance estimation can be achieved by training. (5) Behavior on the CAORF bridge is similar to real-world behavior and provides valid research and training data. (Author).
