Download or read book Crew Size and Maritime Safety written by Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1991-02-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. oceangoing vessels have half the crew size of 30 years ago, thanks to automation and mechanization in the shipping industry. But are reductions in crew size increasing the risk of vessel accidents? Crew Size and Maritime Safety explores how we can minimize risk without hindering technology, presenting the most thorough analysis available of key issues such as domestic versus foreign manning practices and safety performance; effect of crew size on crew fatigue, level of training, and ship maintenance; and modernizing the U.S. Coast Guard approach to crew size regulation. The volume features a trend analysis of 20 years of maritime safety data, analyzing U.S. and international laws and treaties concerning ship manning and making recommendations for improvements. In addition, it includes a model for setting optimum crew levels, based on systems engineering and tested with actual ships.

Download or read book A Proposal for Integrated Shipboard Alertness Management written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under reduced manning policies now proposed for U.S. military naval vessels, continuity of on-duty crew alertness may become a major problem. We propose an integrated hardware and software system for fatigue and alertness management of military shipboard personnel, which would involve: (1) continuous, noninvasive monitoring of crew sleep history via wristband activity monitor; (2) dynamic work/rest scheduling software for optimizing crew schedules under changing missions and personnel demands; (3) real time, objective alertness monitoring of on-duty crew in key work stations using electroencephalographic (EEG) signals recorded via noninvasive dry electrodes built into a cap or audio headset. The system would allow commanders to make operational decisions based on objective knowledge of their crew's state of fatigue and alertness, to maximize human-system efficiency and safety.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1980s, the National Transportation Safety Board investigated several aviation, highway, and marine accidents that involved operator fatigue. Following completion of these accident investigations, the Safety Board in 1989 issued three recommendations to the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) addressing needed research, education, and revisions to hours-of-service regulations. Ten years have passed since these safety recommendations were issued. In the interim, the Safety Board has issued more than 70 additional recommendations to the DOT, States, industry, and industry associations to reduce the incidence of fatigue-related accidents. In response to the three 1989 recommendations, the DOT and the modal administrations have, in general, acted and responded positively to the recommendations addressing research and education; little action, however, has occurred with respect to revising the hours-of-service regulations. Nevertheless, the Safety Board believes that support has grown in recent years to make substantive changes to these regulations. This report provides an update on the activities and efforts by the DOT and the modal administrations to address operator fatigue and, consequently, the progress that has been made in the past 10 years to implement the actions called for in the three intermodal recommendations and other fatigue-related recommendations. The report also provides some background information on current hours-of-service regulations, fatigue, and the effects of fatigue on transportation safety. As a result of this safety report, the National Transportation Safety Board issued new safety recommendations to the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Federal Highway Administration, the Federal Railroad Administration, the Research and Special Programs Administration, and the United States Coast Guard.
