Design of Engine-Room Resource Management Training Simulator

The special training simulator is designed for Engine-room Resource Management (ERM), which is expected to diminish the human error in engine-room and prevent the safety accidents in maritime industry. The system architecture, function modules, simulation models, training scenarios, interactions in 3D engine-room based on virtual reality technique, and assessment algorithms based on multi-layer synthetic evaluation are proposed and designed. This work provides an appropriate ERM training platform and achieves ideal training effect especially for the trainees who are lack of seagoing experience.
