Chapter 13 – Habitability and Internal Environment13.3.2 Assessment Phase Activities13.3.2.1 Assess Ship Motion and Human Performance EnvelopesPurposeTo refine the understanding of the ship motion characteristicsand to assess these for human acceptability, and to influence theGeneral Arrangement by establishing the location within the hullof workspaces at which critical, motion-sensitive tasks are totake place.Inputs • The specification of hull form motion.• Outline drawings of General Arrangement.Methods • Mission Critical Task Identification• Task Analysis• Environmental Design• Health and Safety AnalysisStepsShip Motion and Human Performance Envelopes are developedin the following way:• Identify task descriptions for the platform. Group these byworkspace for operational, accommodation andmiscellaneous spaces (Chap 8 through Chap 11). Identifytasks critical to successful mission outcomes and tasksassociated with health and safety risks (Chap 17).• Assess the motion effects on these tasks in each workspace.Establish acceptable levels using appropriate models andHFI methods.• Specify the ship motion and human performance envelopesfor the various tasks in each workspace. Relate these to therefined motion envelopes of locations within the hull.Contribute to General Arrangement design and trade-offs.OutputsThe Ship Motion and Human Performance Envelopes consist ofthe following:• The hull design motion values and characteristics (force andacceleration).• A matrix of task category and acceptable hull motion, basedupon task analysis.• Recommended workspace and compartment locations in thevessel.HFI ActivitiesNov 2006 Page 13-19 Issue 4
