In this working package, the formal description and mapping of the captain’s activities with regard to recognition, planning, decision-making and action control tasks will be carried out. The recorded contexts/descriptions are transferred into suitable description forms, which allow both the determination of an action space (simulation) and the analysis of the action space for the next action steps situationally.

Situation operator modeling (SOM) [1,2] serves as the foundation, which can form the basis for autonomous/highly automated behavior as well as assistance systems [3,4].

The comparison of the learned/experienced contexts with sets of rules and experts is central to the determination of the behavioral model used to generate the reference behavior. Through such a “transcriptive” formalization, the basis for the creation of a database-like algorithm is created, which allows automated action planning and can evaluate the plausibility of action sequences (model-based).
