Using the FRAM to inform autonomous adaptive instructor feedback in lifeboat simulators

This research project focuses on using functional modelling (FRAM) to map trainee-trainer interactions in lifeboat simulators. The functional model will be used as a basis to create a virtual instructor that can provide feedback to trainees autonomously in Virtual Marine’s lifeboat simulators. The research will contribute to improving the
capabilities of Virtual Marine’s lifeboat simulators as well, as their training courses. This work will also contribute to an improvement in offshore safety as it is expected to increase the time to competence for offshore workers who complete these training courses.
