dc.description.abstractMaritime safety is a critical concern due to the potential for serious consequences or accidents for the crew, passengers, environment, and assets resulting from navigation errors or unsafe acts. Traditional training methods face challenges in the rapidly evolving maritime industry, and innovative training methods are being explored. This study explores the use of wearable sensors with biosignal data collection to improve training performance in the maritime sector. Three experiments were conducted progressively to investigate the relationship between navigators' experience levels and biosignal data results, the effects of different training methods on cognitive workload, trainees' stress levels, and their decision-making skills, and the classification of scenario complexity and the biosignal data obtained by the trainees. questionnaire data on stress levels, workload, and user satisfaction of auxiliary training equipment; performance evaluation data on navigational abilities, decision-making skills, and ship-handling abilities; and biosignal data, including electrodermal activity (EDA), body temperature, blood volume pulse (BVP), inter-beat interval (IBI), and heart rate (HR). Several statistical methods and machine-learning algorithms were used in the data analysis. The present dissertation contributes to the advancement of the field of maritime education and training by exploring methods for enhancing learning in complex situations. The use of biosignal data provides insights into the interplay between stress levels and training outcomes in the maritime industry. The proposed conceptual training model underscores the relationship between trainees' stress and safety factors and offers a framework for the development and evaluation of advanced biosignal data-based training systems.en_US

dc.description.popularabstractEnsuring maritime safety is critical, and having competent officers is beneficial for preventing accidents. Traditional training methods are becoming insufficient due to the rapidly evolving maritime industry, and innovative training methods are being explored. In this study, wearable sensors with biosignal data collection were explored to improve training performance in the maritime sector. Three experiments were conducted progressively to investigate the relationship between navigators' experience levels and biosignal data results, the effects of different training methods on cognitive workload, trainees' stress levels, and their decision-making skills, and the classification of scenario complexity and the biosignal data obtained by the trainees. Data were collected through questionnaires, performance evaluation, and biosignal data. Several statistical methods and machine-learning algorithms were used in the data analysis. The study found that biosignal data effectively gauge trainees’ stress levels, classify the complexity of training scenarios, and determine seafarers' experience levels, which influences safety and performance outcomes. The results highlight the importance of incorporating biosignal data into maritime training programs. The study proposes a conceptual training model that offers a framework for developing and evaluating advanced biosignal data-based training systems. The research contributes to the advancement of the field of maritime education and training by exploring methods for enhancing learning in complex situations.en_US
