Evaluation of Professional Skill and Kansei Based on Physiological Index: Toward Practical Education Using Professional Kansei

This paper describes the evaluation of skill and kansei of professionals for ship handling toward practical education using thier skill and kansei. We evaluate the professionals’ performance using a ship bridge simulator; moreover, we ascertain their mental workload on board by a training ship. We show the effect of physiological indices from the professionals’ performance and the characteristics of their mental workload with heart rate variability (R-R interval), nasal temperature and salivary amylase activity. We confirm whether the response to their performance for the ship handling is clear or not. Mental workload is useful to evaluate performance of ship bridge teammates: a captain, a duty officer, a helmsman, and a pilot.
