New technologies and information sources are now being integrated to provide even more operational perspective.
Does new technology add to the Safety and Efficiency of the VTS?
The greatest change or challenge may not be in technical complexity and integration but the way in which this information is communicated, presented and managed.
Introduction
9th IHMA Congress – Global Port & Marine Operations 26th – 30th May 2014, Bruges, Ghent, Belgium
“Without a deconstruction of some of the old paradigms and development of new
ones, the problem of duplicated information will
get worse.”
Motivation
9th IHMA Congress – Global Port & Marine Operations 26th – 30th May 2014, Bruges, Ghent, Belgium
The human element is provided with the optimum support and information to enable appropriate and timely decision-making.
Integrated and presented through a coherent interface
Systems are designed to facilitate the optimum safe transition of vessels within ports.
Actively manage the operators work load
User designed integrated tools
Identify most commonly
used features
User-centered
design
Objectives
9th IHMA Congress – Global Port & Marine Operations 26th – 30th May 2014, Bruges, Ghent, Belgium
Understand Users
Define Interactions
Design UI
Costumer involvement right from the beginning
Shaping scope and functionality of this tool together
Most commonly used functions crystalized during expert workshops
Verification of new concepts through design mock-ups
Use of professional designers
User-Centered Design Process
9th IHMA Congress – Global Port & Marine Operations 26th – 30th May 2014, Bruges, Ghent, Belgium
Replacing complex tables of numbers with simple concrete visual artifacts
Replacing heterogeneous collections of numeric parameter values with concrete visual artifacts
Dynamic update of planning schedule based on real-time sensor data input (e.g. tide)
Direct manipulation of all relevant objects and planning parameters
Design Principles
Visualisation component that allows the operator to interactively try out planning options
Immediate visual feedback on potential resource conflicts
Reduced mental workload on operators
