5. 3. “The technology is great when it works” : Maritime Technology and Human Integration on the Ship’s Bridge

   Author : Margareta Lützhöft; Sidney Dekker; James M. Nyce; Edwin Hutchins; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; integration; man-machine-interaction; human-machine; Cognitive science; Kognitionsvetenskap;

   Abstract : Several recent maritime accidents suggest that modern technology sometimes can make it difficult for mariners to navigate safely. A review of the literature also indicates that the technological remedies designed to prevent maritime accidents at times can be ineffective or counterproductive. READ MORE

6. 4. Human-centred design for maritime technology and organizational change

   Author : Nicole Almeida Costa; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; participatory ergonomics; organizational change; technology acceptance; digitalization; systems theory; e-Navigation; human-centred design;

   Abstract : Context: The shipping industry is undergoing a transitional phase at different levels, including IMO’s e-Navigation initiative, and with this comes the need to use a human-centred design (HCD) approach to avoid accidents linked to automation issues, and to cater for the maintenance of safety and efficiency within this global transport system. Aims: The aim of this thesis is to investigate the value and challenges in HCD practice and how ergonomics/human factors (E/HF) principles can be introduced, as well as what gaps and opportunities exist in current standard operations and technologies in navigation that can potentially be followed upon by future e-Navigation developments, not only from a technological perspective but also regulatory, operational etc. READ MORE

7. 5. The evolution of upper Norrland's ports and loading places 1750-1976

   Author : Ian G. Layton; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; communications patterns; economic development; export trade; forest-based industries; historical geography; industrial location; northern sweden; port evolution; ports; transport technology;

   Abstract : Models of port development have hitherto concentrated on landward communications and the organization of maritime space in their explanation of changes in port location and activity. This study demonstrates that the level of economic development in hinterlands together with industrial and marine technology are also significant factors and indeed play leading roles in the process of port evolution.
