Descriptions
A RADAR/ARPA simulator is used according to the STCW convention for training in collision avoidance action. However, the details of training and evaluation methods are not standardized for students of the fisheries and merchant marine university who have very limited sea experience. If impartial and objective training and evaluation methods were developed and executed, we would obtain excellent results from the RADAR/ARPA simulator training. In this paper,as the first step in developing such impartial and objective methods for training and evaluation, we carried out a basic maneuvering training experiment which was indispensable for training in collision avoidance action using the RADAR/ARPA simulator. Then, based on the experiment results, we discussed what should be an effective training method, and an objective and quantitative evaluation method for a maritime officer's education. As a result, we observed that the basic maneuvering training by the RADAR/ARPA simulator is an effective training and education method for students. We also obtained several objective and quantitative evaluation methods. In addition, we observed that it is better to repeat the basic maneuvering training at least 5 times under the same conditions for students who have very limited sea experience. The result of the experiment also indicated that it is instructive to improve teamwork of bridge members in order to execute safe and suitable navigation.
