  abstract	= {This paper focus on decision making in the domain of
		  vehicle driving, and the goal is to find out what
		  train-drivers have in common with officers of high-speed
		  ferries in terms of general domain properties. Such
		  properties may be important to identify because they can
		  say something about what constraints these rather diverse
		  work domains may have in common. Consequently, design ideas
		  within one domain can be transferred to another, bearing in
		  mind that tasks, strategies as well as domain-specific
		  knowledge and worker competencies, still have to be
		  introduced in the final design of any artefact. A new
		  information acquisition method called collegial
		  verbalisation is used to study vehicle drivers of trains
		  and high speed ferries. Central properties of the vehicle
		  operators' work are identified, and a comparison is made
		  between the two very different types of vehicles. Three
		  specific topics from the results are discussed in detail,
		  and some conclusions are made about the generality of them
		  with respect to other domains in transportation. Two of the
		  topics, operators' spatial division and temporal
		  perspective, are also discussed in relation to the concept
		  of situation awareness.}
