Book Marine Simulation and Ship Manoeuvrability

Download or read book Marine Simulation and Ship Manoeuvrability written by M.S. Chislett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Real-time, interactive ship simulators limped onto the scene, in the wake of flight simulators, some years ago. The maritime industries have a long history of conservatism, but this is now changing rapidly. The information age has also swept over ships and shipping, and has been taken to heart to such an extent that, for example, flight simulators now cooperate with ship simulators and import useful new concepts and methodologies. The more than 50 papers contained in this book show what and why. Although traditionally conservative, the marine world is also traditionally international and this has not changed. The papers in the book are by leading authors from all over the world and provide a detailed snap-shot of the rapidly advancing state-of-the-art, together with pointers to the future. The overall theme of MARSIM '96 and therefore also of this book is: Vessel manouevrability and marine simulation research, training and assessment, and includes original papers on topics such as bridge resource management, distant learning and simulators coupled via The Internet, virtual reality, neural networks, rudder-propeller hydrodynamics, prime mover models, squat in shallow water, and many more.

Download or read book Minding the Helm written by Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large ships transporting hazardous cargoes, notorious marine accidents, and damage to marine ecosystems from tanker spills have heightened public concern for the safe navigation of ships. This new volume offers a complete, highly readable assessment of marine navigation and piloting. It addresses the application of new technology to reduce the probability of accidents, controversies over the effectiveness of waterways management and marine pilotage, and navigational decisionmaking. The book also explores the way pilots of ships and tugs are trained, licensed, and held accountable. Minding the Helm approaches navigational safety from the perspectives of risk assessment and the integration of human, technological, and organizational systems. Air and marine traffic regulation methods are compared, including the use of vessel traffic services. With a store of current information and examples, this document will be indispensable to federal and state pilotage and licensing authorities and marine traffic regulators, the Coast Guard, pilot associations, and the shipping and towing industries. It will also interest individuals involved in waterway design, marine education, and the marine environment.

Book The Application of Performance Feedback in Simulator Training  Its Effects on the Acquisition of Shiphandling Skills in Unfamiliar Waterways

Download or read book The Application of Performance Feedback in Simulator Training Its Effects on the Acquisition of Shiphandling Skills in Unfamiliar Waterways written by and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether providing performance feedback can improve the effectiveness of simulation in imparting shiphandling skills. Further, the relative effectiveness of two different levels of performance feedback was examined. Two groups of six subjects made eight simulator runs through the Valdez Narrows Channel. The 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 7th were training runs and the others were used as test runs. During the training runs one group called the augmented feedback group, was given a simulation display which highlighted the perceptual cues available to the subject. The other group, called the supplemental feedback group, had the same situation display and in addition was coached by an instructor after reach training run. During the test run, no feedback was provided. As a control, the data from six subjects who had performed the same task in a previous study were used. These subjects had received no enhanced feedback and were called the intrinsic feedback group. Learning was evaluated by comparing three groups on the test runs over a battery of shiphandling measures. Differences found between the groups prior to training were covaried out. A clear superiority in learning was exhibited by the augmented and supplemental feedback groups over the intrinsic feedback group using a one-way ANOVA procedure. The difference between the augmented and supplemental groups on individual performance measures were not significant. Keywords: Performance Feedback; Shiphandling Skills; Simulator Training; Training Technology.

Book Cognition in the Wild

Download or read book Cognition in the Wild written by Edwin Hutchins and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1996-08-26 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edwin Hutchins combines his background as an anthropologist and an open ocean racing sailor and navigator in this account of how anthropological methods can be combined with cognitive theory to produce a new reading of cognitive science. His theoretical insights are grounded in an extended analysis of ship navigation—its computational basis, its historical roots, its social organization, and the details of its implementation in actual practice aboard large ships. The result is an unusual interdisciplinary approach to cognition in culturally constituted activities outside the laboratory—"in the wild." Hutchins examines a set of phenomena that have fallen in the cracks between the established disciplines of psychology and anthropology, bringing to light a new set of relationships between culture and cognition. The standard view is that culture affects the cognition of individuals. Hutchins argues instead that cultural activity systems have cognitive properties of their own that are different from the cognitive properties of the individuals who participate in them. Each action for bringing a large naval vessel into port, for example, is informed by culture: the navigation team can be seen as a cognitive and computational system. Introducing Navy life and work on the bridge, Hutchins makes a clear distinction between the cognitive properties of an individual and the cognitive properties of a system. In striking contrast to the usual laboratory tasks of research in cognitive science, he applies the principal metaphor of cognitive science—cognition as computation (adopting David Marr's paradigm)—to the navigation task. After comparing modern Western navigation with the method practiced in Micronesia, Hutchins explores the computational and cognitive properties of systems that are larger than an individual. He then turns to an analysis of learning or change in the organization of cognitive systems at several scales. Hutchins's conclusion illustrates the costs of ignoring the cultural nature of cognition, pointing to the ways in which contemporary cognitive science can be transformed by new meanings and interpretations.
