Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to improve the Engine-room Resource Management (ERM), the vital reactions and mental work load of the subjects who are supposing marine engineers were examined by simulated ERM environments in an engine room simulator. It was made clear that the mental work load of subject is able to be continuously estimated from the measurements of vital reactions by carrying out an appropriate pre-experiment for reference.
The numerical simulation model was proposed to make clear the relation between engineers at sea and superintendents at head office in a viewpoint of "Understanding the present situation", "Choice of solving" and "Appropriate support" by utilizing the result of a previous work. The base to evaluate the delicate balance for Engine Resource Management under multiple management system was established in this activities.
