Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The CyClaDes project is designed to promote the increased impact of the human element in shipping across the design and operational lifecycle. The project brings together a multi-disciplinary team to focus on all the key steps in the lifecycle; the stakeholders; where the barriers to human element integration occur; and how to best locate, produce, disseminate, and apply human element knowledge within the overall context of shipping. The advantage is realized by supporting the integration of the human element in the design and operational life-cycle from appreciation, to concept, to design, to application, to evaluation and approval, to maintenance. The outcome will directly address pressing needs identified in the shipping industry and specifically by this call. The concepts for human element integration are there but the challenge that remains is to develop, apply, and evaluate these concepts in a way that produces tangible results for multiple key stakeholders involved in the design and operation of a variety of shipboard areas and processes. The CyClaDes project plan accepts this challenge by introducing a user-centered perspective for key stakeholders (i.e., designers, operators, authorities, end-users), through a framework that captures, “translates”, and disseminates usable tools, methods, and information to provide maximum support for the human element across all stages of design and operation. The outcome of the project will help to increase the safety for ship, crew, cargo and consequently the environment by: 1. Increasing researchers’ understanding of stakeholders, including when human element input can best be applied, in what format, and what the barriers are. 2. Assembling existing applicable knowledge (i.e., guidelines, tools and methodologies) from maritime and other domains into an easy to use format for the end user. 3. Developing and applying selected methodologies in order to demonstrate their use and impact in the shipping context.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
The maritime industry is beginning to consider the human aspect in shipping safety from design to operations. An EU initiative is identifying user-centred methods, technologies and solutions to support design, removal of implementation obstacles and enhancement of operational practices.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
The maritime sector acknowledges the importance of human-centred design (HCD) as a process to create solutions that take into account user requirements. However, HCD is not widely used by or known to ship / equipment designers and operators.
With this in mind, the EU-funded project 'Crew-centred design and operations of ships and ship systems' (http://www.cyclades-project.eu/ (CYCLADES)) is developing an open and interactive framework that enables key stakeholders involved in the design of ships and shipborne operations to better access current HCD guidelines, tools and methodologies as well as links to external sources, pictures and videos. The overall goal is to enhance safety and improve user experience.
During the first reporting period, the main requirements for the web-based framework were defined following an analysis of the needs and expectations of operators and designers.
Project partners looked at the current HCD outlook within and beyond the maritime industry. They identified weaknesses in existing designs and operation methods, in addition to lessons learnt and best practices that can potentially be used by the industry.
Team members developed movement sensors and software and employed eye-tracking techniques to measure the mental workload, fatigue and attention levels of crews through a series of validation studies.
Results are continuously being fed into the framework in order to make the accumulated knowledge in HCD more accessible to those designing work environments on board ships and ordering equipment.
CYCLADES outcomes are helping to improve the implementation of HCD concepts in maritime work environments and equipment design. Better access to information regarding HCD should mitigate human error at sea.
