Human-Centered Design for Navigation Systems: Reducing costs, increasing operations efficiency, and delivering significant safety improvements
While navigation systems on modern ships feature a great deal of innovative technology, this technology may be lacking in human-centered design, which can lead to errors if difficult for users to operate. User interfaces are limited in the amount of information they can display, and automated systems are often hidden. It is necessary for these systems to augment human abilities rather than replace them, in order to support users in their tasks. Designers should prioritize usability when developing systems, in order for navigation technologies to grow while remaining efficient and safe.
