  1. Evaluation of cooperation and communication during training using a distributed simulation system in the maritime domain Hans H. K. Andersen and Steen Weber Risø National Laboratory

  2. Training effects of a long distance learning shiphandling course

  3. Project objectives and partners • Objective • Enabling education and training in ship-handling, communication and co-operation using distributed networked simulators • Partners • Åland Maritime Institute (ÅM, - users)www.asl.aland.fi • RISØ National Laboratory (Risø, - human factors)www.risoe.dk • Force, Division of Maritime Industry (DMI, – developers, users)www.dmi-online.dk

  4. Distance learning • Lack of direct face-to- face contact does not necessarily affect the quality of the learning process • There is no evidence that face-to-face instruction is the best method of giving instruction • Learning at a distance can be as effective as learning in a face to face situation

  5. Fidelity of experimental setup • Communication as in real life (mixed nationalities, only communication through the simulated VHF radio. • Realistic models of the ship(s) > ships behaves as real ships • Realistic division of effort on the bridge and among the ships taking part in the SAR

  6. Experimental set-up • Preparation of detailed schedule • Briefing of trainees • Execution of training session (net based) • Subjectiveself evaluation by trainees (net based questionnaire) • Instructor controlled debriefing (net based)

  7. Experimental design

  8. Ship 1 (Risø) Ship 1 (Risø) Ship 2 (DMI) Ship 2 (DMI) Ship 3, ÅM Ship 3, ÅM Experimental scenario MayDay from capsized boat MayDay received Marine Rescue Center All other boats in the area On-scene commander (DMI) Search patterns

  9. Single display ”bridge”

  10. Video from experiment

  11. Multiple own ships - net requirements • During SAR exercise guarantied bandwidth • Communication of ship: • Positions • Speed • Visual appearance (lights, signals) • Sound • After SAR exercise high bandwidth • Debriefing based on instructor and student radio communication simultaneously with real-time simulation replay of scenario through the net

  12. VHF radio communication • Half duplex • Medium bandwidth requirement < 64 kBit/sec) per bridge

  13. Instructor station – debriefing replay

  14. Results - performance of equipment

  15. Results - the execution of the exercise

  16. Results - physical presence of instructor during and after exercise

  17. Results - quality of debriefing

  18. Results - learning experience

  19. Results - expected outcome using simulator based training

  20. Conclusion • High satisfaction with the performance of the tools and the set-up of the exercises • High satisfaction with the debriefing quality • Not important to have an instructor nearby • Satisfaction on SAR skill improvement • Education would highly benefit from having accessto distributed simulators (even from home)
