Remote Monitoring and Control of Unmanned Vessels –The MUNIN Shore Control Centre

Paper i proceeding, 2014

This paper presents work in progress within the MUNIN unmanned ship project. It will briefly discuss some points in a basic framework of design criteria for the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) of the Shore Control Centre where operators monitor, and have the ability to remotely control the unmanned vessels. The starting point will be the notion that unmanned ships might reduce human error. It also presents some example of simple interactive screens based on this framework. A prototype HMI for the Shore Control Centre will later this year be tested with users in a simulator based set up at Chalmers University of Technology.
