ABSTRACT

We have been researching how to evaluate navigators' arts using their physiological and behavioural information in order to make a new index of human-centered education as carried out on a training ship. We need the evaluation for specialised merchant ships such as tankers, container ships, LNG carriers, etc., because the responsibilities and actions of the bridge teammates differ according to each ship’s type. In this paper, we describe, using the frequency components of R-R interval data, responses in bridge teammates while aboard merchant ships.

Keywords:SNS, R-R interval, mental workload, merchant ship, teammate.
