A systematic methodology to assess the impact of human factors in ship design
Paper resulted from EPSRC project EGO (GR/T22100/01) a collaboration with UCL (GR/T22117/01) and UK MoD resulting in a PhD for Deere (2011). It represents the first example of extending ship based evacuation simulation to generalised personnel movement in normal operations. It provided the basis of two EU FP7 funded projects, SAFEGUARD (SCP7-GA-2009-218493) and FIREPROOF (218761) concerning evacuation from large passenger ships. The approach described in this paper has been implemented in the commercial software maritimeEXODUS and 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).
