Development of a HMI for a novel environmentally referenced dynamic positioning sensor

当在海上平台和基础设施周围作业时，船舶依靠不同技术的多个传感器向动态定位（DP）系统提供信息，使其能够接近并保持位置。商用雷达和激光本地位置参考传感器安装在大多数DP支持的船舶上，用于定位船舶相对于安装在基础设施上的目标。目标的使用带来了许多安全问题和成本影响，包括：安装期间的安全问题；由于目标质量差、障碍物干扰导致反射不可靠；维护和资本支出成本；增加了操作时间和成本。Guidance Marine （GM）是全球领先的DP位置测量技术开发商和供应商。通用汽车公司开发了一种新型的环保传感器，以提高全球DP海上作业的安全性和效率，以响应行业关注和石油巨头的直接要求。在这个工业研究项目中，通用汽车将开发一个人机界面，以确保这项技术的输出对最终用户隐藏技术复杂性，并允许技术进步的最大影响。

When operating around offshore platforms and infrastructure, vessels rely on multiple sensors of different technologies to provide information to their Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems, enabling them to approach and maintain position. Commercially available radar and laser local position reference sensors, installed on the majority of DP enabled vessels, are used to position the vessel relative to targets installed on the infrastructure. The use of targets presents a number of safety issues and cost implications including: safety concerns during installation; unreliability of reflections due to the poor quality of targets, interference from obstructions; maintenance and CAPEX costs; increased operational time and costs. Guidance Marine (GM) is a leading global developer and supplier of DP position measurement technologies. GM has developed a novel environmentally referenced sensor to enhance the safety and efficiency of global DP enabled operations at sea in response to industry concerns and direct mandate from oil majors. During this industrial research project, GM will develop a human-machine interface that ensures that outputs of this technology hide technical complexity to the end-user and allows maximal impact of the technological advance.
