A Few Comments on Visual System of Ship Handling Simulator Based on Arriving Port

摘要

We use a simulator for research of human factor in ship handling; however, in case of arriving port, it is not enough for a visual image around own ship. The ship handling simulator does not have the visual image (screen) around own ship. We tried to build up the ship handling simulator that has visual system around own ship for arriving port. In this paper, details of the visual image system of the ship handling simulator and results of some experiment performed for effectiveness of this visual system is shown.
