Virtual Verification System of MME Design for Ship Control Cabins

Abstract

The man–machine–environment (MME) of control cabins has been the very complex system in large-scale ships; it plays a very important role on the efficiency, comfort, safety of ship monitoring and operation. The virtual verification method for MME design of ship control cabins was researched. The main factors of ship control cabins MME were analyzed, and the structure of MME virtual verification method was constructed. The integrated clustering method was constructed to synthetically combine the virtual verification results based on the dominance. The virtual verification system was constructed based on EON, and the development process of virtual verification system was interpreted. Finally, a ship wheelhouse virtual verification case based on EON and virtual hall environment with applying the proposed method was used to prove the effectiveness of this method. It was expected to optimize MME design to improve the operation safety and efficiency of ships.
