Ship motion is an important influencing factor in passenger ship evacuation that affects the entire evacuation process by reducing an individual’s walking speed. This study aims to quantify such effects in ship berthing and sailing operations by collecting experimental data to support passenger ship evacuation decisions. The study utilized Dalian Maritime University’s training ship to conduct human walking experiments to study the influence of ship motion on passengers’ normal and fast walking speeds. It was found that during the berthing period, an individual’s normal walking speed was 1.28–1.68 m/s, and the fast walking speed was 1.50–2.14 m/s. During the sailing, the ship’s rolling motion reduced the normal walking speed by 3.8%–10.3% and the fast walking speed by 3.7%–14.0%. Due to the influence of ship rolling, the higher the deck and the farther away the rolling centre is, the smaller the athwartship and fore-aft walking speeds. Athwartship walking was slightly faster than fore-aft walking. Similarly, in the normal walking mode, the athwartship walking speed was 1.6%–3.7% faster than fore-aft walking, while in the fast walking mode, the athwartship walking speed was 0.8%–4.9% faster than fore-aft walking. Furthermore, during the berthing period, the average walking speed of the younger group was 24.1% higher than that of the older group. Finally, during the sailing, the speed reduction ratio of an individual’s walking speed was 86.0%–96.2%, and the value decreased as the deck height increased.

船舶运动是客船疏散中的重要影响因素，它会通过降低个人的行走速度来影响整个疏散过程。这项研究旨在通过收集实验数据来支持客船疏散决策，以量化这种影响在靠泊和航行操作中的作用。该研究利用大连海事大学的训练船进行人体行走实验，研究船舶运动对乘客正常和快速行走速度的影响。发现在停泊期间，个人的正常步行速度为1.28–1.68 m / s，快速步行速度为1.50–2.14 m / s。在航行过程中，船舶的滚动运动使正常行走速度降低了3.8％–10.3％，使快速行走速度降低了3.7％–14.0％。由于轮船的影响，甲板越高，滚动中心越远，运动和前，后步行速度就越小。越野行走比前后行走略快。类似地，在正常步行模式下，竞技比赛步行速度比前后步行快1.6％–3.7％，而在快速步行模式下，竞技比赛步行速度比前后步行快0.8％–4.9％。此外，在停泊期间，年轻组的平均步行速度比老年组的平均步行速度高24.1％。最后，在航行过程中，个人步行速度的减速比为86.0％–96.2％，并且该值随甲板高度的增加而减小。在正常步行模式下，竞技比赛步行速度比前后步行快1.6％–3.7％，而在快速步行模式下，竞技比赛步行速度比前后步行快0.8％–4.9％。此外，在停泊期间，年轻组的平均步行速度比老年组的平均步行速度高24.1％。最后，在航行过程中，个人步行速度的减速比为86.0％–96.2％，并且该值随甲板高度的增加而减小。在正常步行模式下，竞技比赛步行速度比前后步行快1.6％–3.7％，而在快速步行模式下，竞技比赛步行速度比前后步行快0.8％–4.9％。此外，在停泊期间，年轻组的平均步行速度比老年组的平均步行速度高24.1％。最后，在航行过程中，个人步行速度的减速比为86.0％–96.2％，并且该值随甲板高度的增加而减小。
