• Eye Tracking in Maritime Research

  Khairul Izzati bin Kamarumtham, Thuta Kyaw Win, Tatsuro Ishida, Koji Murai

  Eye-tracking technologies have evolved considerably since their inception, enabling increasingly sophisticated analyses of human visual behavior. These technologies have subsequently been applied to examine the gaze behaviors of maritime professionals. As of 2020, approximately 15 English language research articles focused on eye-tracking applications in maritime contexts; since then,the number has more than doubled, reflecting growing interest in the field. This review examines 37 studies that met predefined eligibility criteria, encompassing a wide range of research themes and diverse eye-tracking metrics. It synthesizes the potential benefits and limitations of eye-tracking in maritime settings, identifies methodological and practical challenges, and highlights notable research gaps. The findings have implications for researchers, informing study design and metric selection; for maritime educators, enhancing training and assessment methods; and for designers of nautical charts, navigational equipment interfaces, and bridge layouts, supporting the development of more effective and user-friendly designs.

• A Study of Workload Estimation for Maritime EngineerUsing VACP Method and Heart Rate

  Ishida Tatsuro, Miwa Takashi, Uchida Makoto

  Human error is the main cause of a high percentage of maritime accidents¹⁾. In many cases it is difficult to resolve human factors as cause of accident and necessary improvements. And one of the significances of the autonomous ship development is considered as complementing the human factor by the machine and possibility to reduce workload of officers and engineers onboard. In this report, we focused on the workload estimation method for maritime engineer under quasi-real (simulation) condition. In an attempt to develop proposals of maritime engineer workload estimation by objective evaluation using VACP method and heart rate data comparing subjective evaluation NASA-TLX, we firstly studied the difference of participant’s biological reaction during black out situation. VACP workload scale was modified for maritime engineer situation and workload assessment was carried out by recorded video and audio data. The result of VACP evaluation and heart rate data had certain extend of correlation, and comparison of NASA-TLX showed that the proposed method was worth to estimate maritime engineer workload.
