Abstract
The Navigational Risk Detection and Assessment System (NARIDAS) is an approach to risk-based information integration on the ship’s bridge. The purpose of this novel system is to reduce data overload and to support situation awareness of the bridge team. This paper focuses on the evaluation of NARIDAS during the development process. Evaluation is performed with system prototypes and practitioners. Three levels of evaluation are addressed: risk model validity, graphical user interface (GUI) design, and system usability. In two evaluation studies, positive results were obtained on all three levels. These results suggest that NARIDAS provides a valid model for the risks of ship navigation, a well-designed GUI, and a high usability for enhancing situational risk awareness of the bridge team.
