To develop a rule based decision support system for marine pilotage based on detailed task analysis and terrain modelling, and to identify generic features of the overall system. An ancillary aim is to develop a user interface to accommodate the stringent spatial and temporal nature of pilotage information. This project has 4 phases. (1) Months 1 6. Literature search, familiarity with existing Electronic Chart system, spatial and other data modelling methods, navigation simulator and pilotage methods will be established. Data prediction will also begin in the first phase to complement the existing Electronic Chart. (2) Months 7 16. Establish a preliminary rule base, based on analysis of the pilotage task. Data areas will be delineated, and terraim modelling will commence in detail in this phase. Data selection strategies will be evolved and will be closely inter related to the data modelling methods adopted. Evaluation procedures will be derived for bench and simulator testing. (3) Months 17 27. Refinement and consolidation of the system. (4) The concluding phase of the work will concentrate on the user interface design and evaluation. The relationship with Electronic Chart will be drawn out in terms of the presentation model. In addition, any problems associated with time dependencies and information redundancy will be addressed.
