Human factor research in a ship bridge simulator
MARIN - Maritime research institute
Hans Huisman shows us around a state-of-the-art ship bridge simulator at MARIN: one of the world's leading maritime research institutes. They are also developing a brand new 'seven oceans simulation center' which is integrated with a Noldus toolkit for human factor research.
Take a look in their playground, and how they do multimodal research into human decision making.
Hans Huisman: "Our goal is to not only have technical data from the simulator, but also have hard data on the performance of the crew."
A full ship's crew can be trained and observed at the simulators of MARIN, in which they can be introduced to all kinds of challenging conditions. Debriefing takes place directly after a simulation where their decision making and performance in these 'safety critical' situation can be directly evaluated and improved.
