Abstract
This paper proposes a method to monitor and assess human perform ance specific to high-speed marine craft operation. The high-speed craft crew’s ability to efficiently perform their allotted tasks is affected by the manner in which the vessel responds to the variable sea conditions. In general, the reaction of human body to high-speed boat motion and vibration is recognized as the main cause of fatigue during and post transits; whereas random shock repre sents the most likely cause of injuries during transits. The pilot experiment in troduced in this paper was designed and performed with the intention to identify and evaluate measures of crew performance during and after a transit in a ma rine environment that can serve to indicate increasing fatigue, decreased func tional capabilities and thus possible increased risk of injury.
