“…S3, S10 and S11 are addressed for firefighting in administrative buildings; therefore, they are directed to all occupants (all team) of a given establishment. In addition, S9 and S14 studies are focused on all crew on ships and oil rigs (Bruzzone et al, 2013) and all onshore drilling field workers (Gallerati et al, 2017). In these studies (5 -36%), games are intended for all occupants of a given facility.…”

Workplace safety is a constant concern in the industry, especially in activities with a high risk of accidents, such as the operation of heavy machinery, material handling, and work with electricity. Risk situation training is a fundamental tool for accident prevention and promoting a safety culture in the workplace. However, these training practices are often seen as boring, tiresome, and ineffective, leading to low employee motivation and engagement. This article presents a survey conducted with training managers to understand training taught via traditional methods, and a rapid review performed to examine the literature on the benefits of using games with a purpose to support risk situation training and make them more playful, engaging and motivating. The survey results point out problems such as low engagement levels in training that applied traditional methods. The rapid review studies support the benefits of games with a purpose in risk situation training, where researchers indicate that strategies such as immediate feedback, participatory approaches, and scenario-based training can increase the effectiveness of risk situation training, improve employee motivation and engagement, and promote a more effective safety culture in the workplace. As a contribution, this article presents insights that can support the trainers in the adoption of learning strategies that may help to achieve training sessions more playful, engaging and motivating. In addition, this work serves to provide relevant information in the discussion on using games with a purpose for risk situation training in the industry.

“…Indeed, human behavior modeling is a complex interdisciplinary topic, as actions of single individuals and especially of groups and crowds could be very difficult forecast. To address such issue, a common approach could be utilization of advanced Intelligent Agents (IA), which in such scenario could be capable to reproduce behavior of single individuals and of social groups (Bruzzone et al, 2014;Massei & Tremori, 2014).…”

Strategic Engineering for Decision Making during Urban Crises

Analyzing the dispersion of hazardous agents is a critical component in crisis management. The complexity of this task amplifies when considering the intricate geometry of the environment in question, ever-evolving boundary conditions, and the presence of individuals. Notably, many of the prevailing models for agent diffusion primarily concentrate on the physical aspects, often sidelining the challenge of assessing the impact on people present in the scenario. To bridge this gap, the authors introduce a comprehensive simulation model designed not only to forecast the movement of substances in multifaceted urban settings but also to factor in the attributes and activities of individuals within these spaces. This paper concludes with a detailed case study, shedding light on the practical implications and results of the proposed model.

“…Decision‐making exercises seem to be an important step for young and novice individuals of the maritime field to analyze complex situations and make satisfactory decisions [9]. According to this, serious games in MET should be evaluated as an effective training tool that can provide preparation for both normal daily activities and unexpected difficult situations [7]. Especially with GBL, training support can be given to both formal educations given in schools and the training given in ships [48].…”

Ship collision is a form of maritime accident that possess great threats to transportation safety, economy, and human lives. Deck watchkeeping officers who oversee the safe navigation of the ships are responsible for preventing these collision accidents. Yet, most of the collisions are directly linked to the human errors onboard. One way to reduce these human errors is to train competent navigation officers for collision avoidance situations. However, training maritime students for complex collision situations is a challenging task. This study aims to examine if game-based learning (GBL) can help students to perform better in collision avoidance situations by providing them the necessary skills to properly identify risks, goals, and cues in collision situations. With this purpose, we developed a digital game-based decision-making training containing eight collisions at sea scenarios. The developed tool was then presented to maritime engineering students as supplementary training.Thirty undergraduate maritime transportation engineering students participated in the study. A pretest/posttest control group design was adopted to investigate the effects of GBL. Tests are conducted with the use of a full mission bridge simulator. Observed changes in situational awareness, decision making, navigation, and collision avoidance performance of the participants were analyzed. The results showed that the intervention group had small but significant improvements in all dimensions compared to the control group. Overall, the game-based decision-making training helped students to reach a better understanding of the related course material. Required efforts and challenges to develop and incorporate such training into the existing maritime curriculum are discussed.
