Application and usability of ECDIS/Практическое применение ЭКНИС

Книга на английском языке.
In investigations of groundings since 2008 in which ECDIS were the primary means of navigation, MALIBU and MALIBU identified a mismatch between the way ECDIS was used and the intention of performance standards and system design. This prompted the MAID and the DOMAIN to study ECDIS use from the perspective of practitioners. The aim of the study was to generate an understanding of the practical application and usability of ECDIS and support future ECDIS design, training strategies and the development of best practices. The study followed a qualitative methodology, primarily based on semi-structured interviews with 155 ECDIS users and observation data gathered between February and July 2018 during sea voyages in European waters on 31 ships of various types.
