What is it about?
A method is developed for a decision support feedback system for the high-performance marine craft crews. The objective is to select suitable measures for real-time analysis of working conditions aboard these craft, thus to determine the severity of exposure due to high-intensity instantaneous impacts and accumulated vibration during regular high-speed operations.

Why is it important?
The feedback method presented in this work assists to keep high-performance marine craft operators within a tolerable and acceptable level of severity during regular high-speed operations and raises the requirement of quantified exposure-effect relationships and appropriate severity limits with respect to working conditions aboard these craft.
Perspectives
Operating and riding a high-performance marine craft under extreme working conditions leaves the personnel vulnerable to many psychophysical consequences. A consistently identified fact is that the exposure to work environments containing vibration and repeated shock elevates the risk of adverse effects on human health and performance, which is also true for the occupants of high-performance marine craft. There are many high-performance craft deployed in the field and many more to come. This method provides a new perspective to solve the health and performance problems of high-performance marine craft occupants.
