Simulation and visualization of human factors and cognitive load

In today’s vessel operations, the amount of real-time data from sensors is rapidly increasing, which can overwhelm operators and lead to errors or delayed decisions. The project investigates how advanced data visualization can enhance human performance and improve safety at sea.
Simulering och visualisering av mänskliga faktorer och kognitiv belastning

Project Objectives

The goal is to develop visualization solutions that enable operators to handle large amounts of data more intuitively and efficiently. Through XR and AR interfaces, decision-making should become faster, more accurate, and less cognitively demanding. Project budget: 6 million SEK.

Project Background

The development of maritime sensor systems has led to an explosive increase in available information. At the same time, operators’ ability to process and use this information has not increased at the same rate. To avoid information overload and enhance safety, new ways of presenting and understanding data are required.

Complete Project Description

The project explores the entire chain from data collection to interaction. New methods are being developed to collect, analyze, and synthesize heterogeneous data types from various sensors, for example, for navigation, environmental monitoring, and emergency situations. With these insights, new visualization paradigms are created, where XR and AR solutions integrate information directly into the user’s view or simulated environment. The result is improved situational awareness, more efficient decision-making processes, and increased safety in maritime operations.
