Decision-making process in system: Man–yacht–environment

In this paper is presented a model of human behavior in complex man–yacht systems. System man–yacht is study together with a model sailing on water's route. A model of the sailing on a route is presented with a specific regard to correct and conflict situations. The formal description of the sailing on a route permitted the modelling formulation of skipper behaviour through introduction of a function of his activity. Different sailing stages demand from skipper the different decision strategies. The optimal decision strategy can be precise using dynamic programming.
