Abstract

This paper presents a design for a cognitive navigator model based on Rasmussen’s model of skill- rule- and knowledge-based behaviour. The basic assumption is that navigators do not attempt to minimise the deviation from a track-line but attempt to realise efficiency and safety by balancing prediction and mental workload. The resulting model is rather simple in its structure but can display complex behaviour in a traffic environment.
