Human Nature
Description
PLEASE NOTE: location changed
Between 6pm and 7pm you can visit the bridge simulator, crane simulator and engine room simulator. Expert explanations will be available.
The human factor contributes to approximately 80 per cent of all maritime incidents and accidents. Is this acceptable? As awareness of the human factor arises in the maritime industry, we are faced with the challenge of minimising the number of accidents attributed to human error. MARIN wants to get a grip on the hard-to-determine human capacity and contributes, for instance, with research related to measuring workload and fatigue. This presentation outlines the wide field of human factors, and MARIN's activities in particular. The presentation shows the research results of workload and performance measurements, both in a manoeuvring simulator and on-board ships, and highlights ongoing research topics.
