The workshop explored a number of issues related to future guidelines for AIS shipboard display parameters. It stressed the collection of current and accurate information and included suppliers, researchers, and ship operators with experience in using AIS or related systems.

He pointed out that a notice of proposed rulemaking for AIS was under development and would be issued during summer 2002. So far no standards have been developed for AIS shipboard displays.

Mr. Nugent concluded that significant research work already exists on the topic of dis play design and that the integration of display technology with human fac tors, within the context of the intended application, is critical.

From page 160... ...
A variety of AIS user need categories must be sorted out -- navigation, collision avoidance, situation awareness, voyage planning, vessel traffic management, and so forth. At present most AIS manufacturers are striving to meet International Maritime Organization standards with the addition of small graphical dis plays with minimal complexity.

Nadine Sarter presented highlights of her recent research in human fac tors in airline operations. She emphasized that any display should alert the operator to updated information and indicate where to find it.

PANEL III, CASE STUDIES: SUMMARY POINTS Panel III consisted of three presenters with committee member Elizabeth Gedney acting as the facilitator: Lee Alexander, University of New Hampshire; Jeff McCarthy, San Francisco Marine Exchange; and Tom Hill, Master Mariner, SeaRiver Maritime. The purpose of Panel III was to acquaint the committee with case studies involving AIS equipment and with successes and failures of tests or related systems developments.
|
From page 163... ...
The final presenter was Tom Hill, an experienced ship's captain who has sailed worldwide for over 25 years on tankers for Exxon Shipping and now for SeaRiver Maritime. He described his experience from the standpoint of navigational equipment that he has used and how that experience might help in the selection of an AIS display system for the future.

PANEL IV, OPERATIONS: SUMMARY POINTS Panel IV consisted of four presenters with committee member Douglas Grubbs acting as the facilitator: Benny Pettersson, Swedish Maritime Administration and Passenger Vessel Pilot; Allison Ross, Bay Pilot with the Association of Maryland Pilots; Mark Stevens, Inland Barge Operator with Ingram Barge, Inc.; and Jorge Viso, Pilot with Tampa Bay Pilots Association. The purpose of this panel was to present and discuss the needs of various operators for AIS displays to aid in making the best navigational decisions.
|
From page 165... ...
Inland tug operators do not usually have radar, do not plot charts, and do not need latitude and longitude information. However, AIS displays should integrate easily into electronic charts that are in use with minimal clutter of data.
|
From page 166... ...
AIS has been a useful tool for traffic management in Tampa Bay, which has a long, narrow, and restricted channel. In their 3.5 years of experience Tampa pilots have verified the usefulness of AIS and now can trust the equipment in fog and storms.

Display information should be matched to the mariner's tasks and to the operational needs for navigation safety or other appropriate functions.
