Integrating personnel movement simulation into preliminary ship design
Paper resulted from EPSRC project EGO (GR/T22100/01), a collaboration with UCL (GR/T22117/01) and UK MoD. It contributed to PhD’s for Deere (2011), Casarosa (2011) and Pawling (2007) and also won the 2008 RINA Samuel Baxter Prize for best IJME paper on safety. The work contributed to two EU FP7 projects, SAFEGUARD (SCP7-GA-2009-218493) and FIREPROOF (contract 218761) concerning evacuation from large passenger ships. It introduces for the first time a capability to incorporate human factors into early ship design. FSEG are in discussion with the Australian DSTO to adapt the approach for use by the RAN (Zenka.Mathys@dsto.defence.gov.au, Head Naval Platforms Division).
