Description
Human Factors in Remote Ship Operations examines the psychological, ergonomic, and cognitive challenges faced by remote ship operators as maritime navigation shifts from traditional crew experience to technology-driven remote monitoring and control.
Readers will gain strategies for optimizing human performance in remote maritime environments through case studies, best practices and design guidelines. The book delivers valuable insights on designing effective remote operations centers, enhancing situational awareness, addressing sensory input challenges, and implementing appropriate training methodologies, all essential for ensuring safety and operational excellence in autonomous shipping.
This comprehensive guide is written for maritime professionals, instructors, researchers, and policymakers involved in the technological evolution of the maritime industry. It serves as a resource for maritime education and training institutions developing programs for remote-control operators, and for professionals seeking to understand the human factors critical to the successful implementation of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS).
