THE WAYS OF IMPROVEMENT OF QUALITY OF INTERACTION BETWEEN OPERATORS AND DP SYSTEMS
Abstract
Dynamic positioning systems have found wide application in the modern fleet. In view of their efficiency and versatility, the installation of dynamic positioning systems has become a mass phenomenon - shipowners are increasingly installing them on their ships, which in turn stimulates their further development and improvement.
The research analyzes modern dynamic positioning systems and identifies the main directions in their development - modular architecture, a wide range of referential systems, increasing the level of automation, increasing reliability and focusing on combating the human factor. With the growing demand for these systems, with increasing complexity and multifunctionality, the requirements for training operators operating these systems are also growing.
The research considers the shortcomings of modern methods of training operators of dynamic positioning systems, namely: they do not take into account the individual traits of the trainees (their ability to learn, stress resistance, the ability to make decisions in extreme situations), there is no clear mechanism for identifying errors during conducting of practical exercises and the mechanism the consolidation of useful skills in correcting these errors.
As a solution to this problem, the research proposes the structure of a software module to improve the quality of the operator’s interaction with the system. This module takes into account the individual traits of the trainees and allows in an automatic mode to identify and correct errors in the implementation of practical exercises in the learning process. The introduction of this module in the practical training of operators of dynamic positioning systems will significantly improve the quality of training for trainees and thus reduce the level of the human factor.
