Main contribution

The study combines mobility data and personnel characteristics to understand how human groups behave in enclosed spaces constrained by physical restrictions.

Resultados y alcance

El análisis de los desplazamientos a bordo identifica patrones de movilidad y factores operativos que afectan a la distribución de contingentes en buques anfibios. Los resultados apoyan la planificación y la seguridad, aunque su generalización requiere considerar otros buques, misiones y composiciones de personal.

Link with BoND1

BoND1 relies on connectivity and sensing technologies for complex environments. Although the domain is naval, the publication provides a useful perspective on mobility, safety and behavior analysis in spaces where networks can support decision-making.

Main contribution

The study combines mobility data and personnel characteristics to understand how human groups behave in closed spaces and conditioned by physical restrictions.

Results and scope

The analysis of onboard movements identifies mobility patterns and operational factors that affect the distribution of contingents on amphibious ships. The results support planning and safety, although generalization requires consideration of other ships, missions and personnel compositions.
