Abstract
High speed craft has become prominent in maritime industry. Sophisticated electronic navigation equipment on bridge increases mental demands of high speed craft navigator. In the present study, mental workload of high speed craft navigators has been assessed in terms of bridge navigation operations. For this purpose, the pairwise comparison of the effects of Electronic Chart Display and Information System, Automatic Radar Plotting Aid, Automatic Identification System and autopilot on mental workload and Revised NASA Task Load Index questionnaires were carried out. High speed craft navigators sorted berthing, unberthing, navigation in coastal waters, navigation in restricted waters, and navigation on open sea operations according to their mental workload levels. In addition, they indicated the factors mostly affecting mental workload and the remarkable suggestions to keep the optimum level of mental workload. As result of these findings, considerations have been made for increasing the safety of high speed craft navigation.
高速船在航海业中的地位日益突出。舰桥上先进的电子导航设备增加了高速船领航员的脑力需求。本研究从驾驶台导航操作的角度对高速船领航员的脑力劳动负荷进行了评估。为此,对电子海图显示和信息系统、自动雷达绘图辅助系统、自动识别系统和自动驾驶仪对脑力劳动负荷的影响进行了配对比较,并编制了修订版 NASA 任务负荷指数问卷。高速船领航员根据其脑力劳动负荷水平对靠泊、离泊、沿海水域航行、限制水域航行和公海航行进行了分类。此外,他们还指出了影响脑力劳动负荷的主要因素以及保持最佳脑力劳动负荷水平的重要建议。这些研究结果为提高高速船航行的安全性提供了参考。
