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
Training effects of a long distance learning shiphandling course
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, FI)www.asl.aland.fi • RISØ National Laboratory (Risø, DK)www.risoe.dk • Danish Maritime Institute (DMI, DK)www.dmi-online.dk
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
Rule-Based Learning Perception Skill-Based Learning Cognition Thinking Knowledge-Based Learning Learning of cognitive, manual and complex skills
Experimental set-up • Preparation of detailed schedule • Briefing of trainees • Execution of training session (net based) • Documentation and description • Self evaluation by trainees • Instructor controlled debriefing (net based)

Multiple Own Ships - net requirements • During SAR excersiseguarantiedbandwidth • Communication of ship • Positions • Speed • Visual appearance (lights, signals) • Sound • After SAR excersise high bandwidth • Debriefing based on instructor and student radio communication simultaniously with real-time simulation replay of scenario through the net
VHF Radio Communication • Half duplex • Medium bandwidth requirement < 64 kBit/sec) per bridge
Net based simulation achievments • Multiple Own Ships through the Internet • DirectPlay (Microsoft, COM) • HLA (DMSO, CORBA) • Instructor Control through the Internet • VHF radio communication through the Internet • DirectPlay/DirectVoice • Debriefing/Replay through the Internet
Results - physical presence of instructor during and after exercise, question
