“…The risk of accident is higher if there is a lack of maintenance and periodical supervision leading to any type of malfunction. The "human" causes of accidents include any aspect related to one's physical or mental health causing a significant decrease in physical/mental efficiency and performance during work [6,7]. According to International Maritime Organisation (IMO) a "human factor" is responsible, at least in part, of about 80% of accidents on board.…”

“…According to International Maritime Organisation (IMO) a "human factor" is responsible, at least in part, of about 80% of accidents on board. Human factors may include: the specific skill in performing any task, the level of attention (influenced by fatigue and mood), experience (which is not always a protective factor against accidents), adaptive capacity, attitudes, psychological factors; also age related changes in resistance to risk factor may occur [6,7].…”

“…In marine transportation, human performance and cognitive processes have been studied utilizing constructs such as situation awareness (Hetherington, Flin & Mearns, 2006); threat and collision avoidance (Hockey et al, 2003), and situation and voyage plan monitoring (Schuffel et al, 1989), and exploring decision processes such as confidence, satisfaction, vigilance, stress, workload (Gould et al, 2009), fatigue (Akhtar and Utne, 2014), and mental and physical effort (Hockey et al, 2003). The latter concepts are well-known information and decision science research constructs, and the former are core competencies in marine transportation, codified in the International Collision Regulations, tested worldwide in mariner certification and licensing exams, and publicized in guidance notes provided by regulatory organizations and ship classification societies and as keystone metrics in numerous studies, publications, and regulatory advisories (International Maritime Organization, 2014).…”

Understanding the impact of technology introduction on users' attitudes toward and behaviour with technology is increasingly important. This paper suggests several research questions that are important as Wearable, Immersive Augmented Reality (WIAR) systems are introduced in ship navigation: what contributions to navigation decision-making might be made by WIAR technology? And how do these influences relate to safety in marine transportation? This paper begins with an overview of information needs for shipboard navigation and piloting, and then describes the evolution of shipboard decision support systems for navigation, including the emergence of wearable, immersive augmented reality systems. An assessment of piloting and navigation information needs and the capabilities of WIAR are then presented, which suggests a conceptual model for studying the impact of WIAR systems on performance and safety in marine transportation. Conclusions and future work to explore the role and contribution of WIAR technology to the safety of navigation are then presented. K E Y WO R D S 1. Immersive, augmented reality.2. Navigation. 3.

“…In fact, there are many studies on the role of human factor in maritime accidents and incidents [9]. The related work pointed out that 75% to 96% of maritime causalities are linked to human error engaged with professional maritime transportation [2,5,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17]. As reported by [18], human error contributes to 89-96% of collisions, 75% of fires and explosions, 79% of towing vessel groundings, 84-88% of tanker accidents, 75% of allusions.…”
