Human handling characteristics on ship's motion in restricted condition

摘要

The Ship Maneuvering Simulator is easy to make setting any ships and environments, So, it has been utilized widely such as training, research, developing apparatuses, and so on. In Japan, the ship-maneuvering simulator has been utilized in the evaluation of restricted waters, such as safety navigation in harbor and traffic route and so on. When we discuss about them, considerable conditions are large variety that are kinds of ship, current, wind and so on. However, the navigational environment have to be adopted the ship's behavior, so it is required to know the standard ship-handling and the mean results by human control. In our study, through the investigation, experiments and discussing, we grasped the standard ship-handling and developed numerical simulation that can expresses the mean results by human control to any ships and environment. So, we can predict ship's position, ship's heading, ship's speed, rate of turn, and so on. In this paper, human factor is defined as the standard ship-handling and results by human control.
