Abstract

The development and operation of the MASS (Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship) is being actively discussed for more efficient and safer maritime transportation solutions. The autonomous navigation technology has positive aspects such as the prevention of marine accidents, improvement of fuel efficiency of ships and cost reduction, and negative aspects such as job loss, task change, and security problems. It is expected that there will be new human element issues such as the situation awareness of remote operators, because the shore-based control will be conducted when fully autonomous ships are in operation. In this paper, we consider major human element issues that should be factored in the development and operation of MASS, and suggest a method of HRA (Human Reliability Analysis) for P IFs (Performance Influencing Factors) of the remote operators that are expected according to the shore-based control.

최근 보다 안전하고 효율적인 해상운송시스템을 위한 해결책으로 자율운항선박의 개발 및 운용에 대한 논의가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 자율운항기술은 해양사고 방지, 선박의 연비 증진, 비용 절감 등 긍정적인 측면과 함께 선원의 일자리 감소, 업무의 변화, 보안문제 등 부정적인 측면도 상존하고 있다. 향후 자율운항선박의 시대가 도래 하더라도 육상 센터에서의 제어가 이루어지게 되므로, 육상 운항사의 상황인식과 같이 새로운 인적요인 이슈가 존재할 것으로 예측된다. 본 논문에서는 자율운항선박의 개발 및 운용과정에 고려해야 할 주요 인적요인 이슈를 고찰하고, 육상 센터의 제어에 따라 예상되는 육상 운항사의 의사결정 및 업무수행에 영향을 미치는 요소에 대한 식별과 영향 요소의 평가를 위한 인적 신뢰성 분석 방안을 제시하였다.
