Basic study of a sea pilot candidate performance using small acceleration sensor

A pilotage is one of important factors in order to keep a safety and a security of main harbors in Japan; however, pilots´ marine accidents sometime happen while they work. The pilots´ accidents happen well for the transfer from vessel to pilot boat on the sea, and pilots and pilots´ associations do their best for reducing the accidents under International Maritime Organization (IMO) convention. In other word, a safety measure for the transfer is the important subject for pilots. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate a pilot´s physical performance while their work using large model sensors (acceleration sensors), and we read characteristics of performance for the transfer. This research is first challenge to evaluate the pilots´ performance in real situation.
