Abstract: The enhancement of navigators’ ability has been promoted by on-scene training; however, considering the safety and repeatability, simulation training (ST) is recommended. Notably, the training of maritime autonomous surface ship (MASS) remote operators has to be performed in a systemic simulated environment. In various fields, ST has differentiated levels of training scenarios considering the proper training effect and evaluation. Although the accuracy and implementation of a realistic situation have received the most attention in simulated navigation, the objective criteria of difficulty are to be established for systemic training. For this purpose, this study aims to propose difficulty criteria in navigation generation scenarios for the development of training simulator MASS remote operators. Proposed methods generated navigation scenarios with differentiated difficulties, simulated navigation experiments were performed, and the results were analyzed as a validation of the differentiated difficulties. Our findings include the difficulty differentiation method, navigation scenario samples, and simulated navigation experimental results.
