Abstract

Abstract Adverse effects of intoxicated driving have been well documented over the years, with clear conclusions. In addition, it is evident that the cognitive and neurological functions and reaction times deteriorate with the consumption of alcohol. Addressing the lack of literature on the subject, this paper focuses on studying the effects of alcohol on manoeuvring, navigational and decision-making ability in ship navigation. Ten participants – five cadets and five experienced navigation officers – volunteered and carried out a standard manoeuvre using a computer-controlled vessel simulator, under three different blood alcohol concentrations (0⋅00%, 0⋅05% and 0⋅08% BAC). Results from the simulations were used to assess the performance and the decision-making ability of participants under the influence of alcohol. In addition, the responses and behaviour of the simulated vessel when the navigators were intoxicated were analysed. Workload experienced by participants during the simulations were also assessed using the NASA Task Load Index. Findings of this preliminary study proved that the ability to make the correct decisions at the right time was drastically deteriorated when the blood alcohol concentration was increased.

酒精对船舶操纵、航行和决策能力影响的研究

多年来，醉酒驾驶的不良影响已经有了很好的记录，结论也很明确。此外，很明显，认知和神经功能以及反应时间随着饮酒而恶化。针对缺乏相关文献的问题，本文着重研究了酒精对船舶航行中操纵、导航和决策能力的影响。10名参与者——5名学员和5名经验丰富的导航员——自愿使用计算机控制的船舶模拟器，在三种不同的血液酒精浓度(0.000%、0.05%和0.08% BAC)下进行标准操作。模拟的结果被用来评估参与者在酒精影响下的表现和决策能力。此外，还分析了模拟船舶在导航员醉酒时的反应和行为。参与者在模拟过程中所经历的工作量也使用NASA任务负荷指数进行了评估。这项初步研究的结果证明，当血液酒精浓度增加时，在正确的时间做出正确决定的能力急剧下降。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
