This article deals with cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary virtual engagement aimed to match human-computer interaction design principles and contemporary integrated navigation information systems. As interaction design principles ten general principles - heuristics are used, and as examples of contemporary navigation information systems, chart Radio Detection (or Direction) and Ranging (RADAR) device and Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) are used. This cross-disciplinary research has been achieved through a Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) project by Durban University of Technology (DUT) in South Africa and University of Colima (UoC) in Mexico. Namely, the students from both sides guided by their lecturers have been engaged in analyzing today’s most frequently used marine navigational aids from the perspective of their reliability and user centeredness. The complexity of the systems and the lack of standards are observed as main problems when it comes to marine information systems effectiveness and their user centeredness.

The schemes of navigation systems correction are considered. The operation mode of the aircraft during navigation is analyzed. An adaptive modification of the linear Kalman filter is used to correct the navigation information. An algorithm for predicting a correction signal based on a neural network in the event of a loss of a SNS correction signal is formed. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the algorithm.

The interaction design for web emergency management information systems (WEMIS) is an important aspect to keep in mind due to the criticality of the domain: decision making, updating available resources, defining a task list, and trusting in proposed information. A common interaction design strategy for WEMIS seems to be needed, but currently there are few references in literature. The aim of this study is to contribute to this lack with a set of interactive principles for WEMIS. From the emergency point of view, existing WEMIS have been analyzed to extract common features and to design interactive principles for emergency. Furthermore, the authors studied design principles extracted from a well-known (DERMIS) model relating them to emergency phases and features. The result proposed here is a set of design principles for supporting interactive properties for WEMIS. Finally, two case studies have been considered as applications of proposed design principles.

Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS) technology has recently emerged as a promising aid to maritime navigational safety and operational efficiency. ECDIS is likely to have multiple effects on the tasks bridge personnel must perform. However, careful consideration must be given to safety in adopting this new technology. A shiphandling simulator-based evaluation of some human factors aspects of the use of ECDIS is presented. The issues discussed include the effect on navigational safety and workload as a result of introducing ECDIS to the bridge, and the mariner's preference for and use of chart information and navigational data. Experienced mariners each made multiple port arrivals and departures as the lone watchstander on the bridge: navigating a planned route, responding to harbor traffic, and managing the preparations for arrival or departure. During “baseline” transits, conventional methods were available to the mariner. During the test scenarios, one of two prototype ECDIS systems was also added to the bridge. Under certain conditions, ECDIS reduced the mariner's workload for navigation. In addition, ECDIS showed a potential to increase safety as measured by a smaller cross-track distance from the planned route and by a larger proportion of time available to devote to collision avoidance and “look out”.

In 2019, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) prescribed guidelines to standardize the user interface (UI) of navigation equipment such as radio detection and ranging (RADAR) and the electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS), which mandate the unification of various terminologies and icons to improve usability. However, comprehensive studies on the operability and standardization of global positioning system (GPS) plotters, which are auxiliary equipment installed across various domestic and commercial vessels for navigational purposes, have not been conducted. Therefore, we performed a case study to identify the user requirements for standardizing the UI of GPS plotters in South Korea. Additionally, we conducted a survey to ascertain the frequency of use of the navigational functions in a GPS plotter, in which, several deck officers and captains participated. The frequently used navigational functions that were subsequently identified confirmed the need for standardization of the UI. Furthermore, the users requested the standardization of the menus of these functions using Korean terminologies. Hence, we attempted to derive standardized items that can be applied to both the functions of the GPS plotters and the navigation information obtained, which can contribute to the improvement of the UI across the different types of plotters.

Navigation Information

Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) require highly reliable navigation information. Generally, navigation systems with the inertial navigation system (INS) and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) have been widely used. However, the GNSS is vulnerable to jamming and spoofing. The terrain referenced navigation (TRN) technique can be used to solve this problem. In this study, to obtain reliable navigation information even if a GNSS is not available or the degree of terrain roughness is not determined, we propose a federated filter based INS/GNSS/TRN integrated navigation system. we also introduce a TRN system that combines batch processing and an auxiliary particle filter to ensure stable flight of UAVs even in a long-term GNSS-denied environment. As an altimeter sensor for the TRN system, we use an interferometric radar altimeter (IRA) to obtain reliable navigation accuracy in high altitude flight. In addition, a parallel computing technique with general-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU) is applied to process a high resolution terrain database and a nonlinear filter in real time on board. Finally, we verify the performance of the proposed system through software-in-the-loop (SIL) tests and captive flight tests in a GNSS unavailable environment.

This work presents a new method using Kalman filter (KF) and Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM) for the inertial navigation systems (INS)/wireless sensors network (WSN) integrated navigation. In this mode, when the ultrasonic-based WSN is working well, LS-SVM is trained for the mapping between the position measured by INS and the corresponding error. Once the ultrasonic-based WSN is outage, the LS-SVM is used to predict the error of position, which is the unavailable measurement vector of the integrated filter when the ultrasonic-based WSN is outage. Thus, the filter in this mode is able to work where there is no data from the ultrasonic devices. The results show that the proposed method is able to provide continuous navigation information when the data of indoor positioning system is outage, and it is effective to reduce the probability of the estimating outliers.
