Stone, Maine Maritime Academy, [email protected] Abstract We describe the relationship between a navigator’s aptitude and the body’s center of gravity and/or heart rate variability while using a ship’s bridge simulator. Navigator aptitude relates directly to kansei ...

Ship grounding is one of the primary maritime navigation casualties and a result of an error made by the navigating officer, of a technical failure on vital ship equipment or of force majeure. In order to decrease the risk of grounding in such cases, this paper explores the ship movement during navigation when an extraordinary event occurs, such as steering system failure that affects the vesse...

The study presents a methodology that uses AIS data and ship manoeuvring simulator to simulate analyse marine traffic schemes with regard risks for accidents. An event identification method is presented, which needed the accident scenario part of methodology. This based on data, where Great Belt VTS area was used verify Three events could result in ship-bridge allisions were modelled simulated ...

This article presents Vasa, a configurable high-performance multiprocessor simulation package for the Virtutech Simics full-system simulator. Vasa includes models of multilevel caches, store buffers, interconnects and memory controllers and can model complex out-of-order SMT/CMPprocessors in great detail. However, it can also be run in two less detailed simulation modes being up to 287 times fa...

Despite the fact that high risk sailing operations are often caused by heavy weather and characterized by vigorous ship motions, the vast majority of (full mission) bridge simulators are Earth fixed. We therefore evaluated the value of adding motion to ship simulation in terms of technical feasibility, measurability of performance, and effects on training. Of eighteen navy personnel, nine recei...

This paper describes the evaluation of skill and kansei of specialists and students for ship handling. We evaluate the specialists’ performance using a simulator; moreover, we ascertain the students’ stress on board by testing salivary amylase. We show the effect of physiological indices from the specialists’ and students’ performance and the characteristics of their mental workload with LF/HF ...

Under the current background of navigation education, students generally lack a comprehensive grasp ship firefighting equipment’s operation. Therefore, we develop novel training simulator with multi-sensory human–computer interaction function for teaching and marine students. In simulator, consider container 1.8w containers as prototype ship, entire models are built using three-dimensional mode...
