Abstract

In the evaluations of navigational environment, ship-maneuvering simulator are utilized widely. The evaluations of navigational environment have to be investigated in various situations. The situations are composed of factors, these are ship maneuverability, the natural environment such as wind and current, the traffic environment and the topographic environment such as the shape of traffic route and etc. In order to study the characteristics of ship-handling on passing fairway, we investigated the physical and human factor including ship maneuverability, the wind effect and the shape of traffic route. Through the investigation, obtained results are as follows. 1. The characteristics of ship's behavior were obtained by discussing the physical factor based on the ship maneuverability, the wind effect and the shape of traffic route. 2. The characteristics of human control were obtained by discussing the human factor based on the ship maneuverability, the wind effect and the shape of traffic route. 3. The characteristics of ship-handling on passing fairway were obtained by discussing the relations between the physical and human factors.
