Trans RINA, Vol 157, Part C1, Intl J Marine Design, Jan –Dec 2015 engineering. Informed by their e experiences of these field
studies for design processes they introduce the model of design-driven field research. The model has three pillars of field studies in design: data mapping; experiencing life at sea;
on-site design reflection. Design-driven field
research emphasises the need for designers to experience the on-board environment for themselves when designing for complex marine domains such as ships bridges. It in
also encourages the designer to engage design
reflection in the field, in order to accelerate the process of interpreting use situations, thus expediting the creation of appropriate designs.
Building upon the design-driven field research model the Marine Design approach utilises the Virtual Design Studio (VDS), a web based platform for file sharing and VOIP to minimise the cost of collaboratio n. Here the information
approach is to of develop an
CAD systems and RAMSIS, integration
Dynamic practices. The resulting optimised
architecture and decision system, through the use of 3D informed by a dialogue
between researche rs and key stakeholders, based on the (DYNAV)
NAVigation design proposal s are then
evaluated in a bridge simulator, with the best performing design uploaded to a WFSV bridge for field trails. The multidisciplinary team of resea
(ST-Research); marine HF archers and stakeholders
includes: marine HF and HSC navigation consultancy and HSC navigation
researcher experts (Chalmers University); vessel operator (Mainprize Offshore); vessel interior and motion seat design and manufacture (KPM-Marine); vessel display system developer (Marine Automation Propulsion).
The reach and vision analysis of the pilot seat have shown it to be appropriate for the following range of manikins: 5th percentile female; 50th perc entile male; 95th
percentile male. The force-based

Luras and Nordby [17] investigated the use of field research in multidisciplinary design process of a bridge for an offshore service vessel. The UBC (Ulstein Bridge Concept) was a design research project seeking to redefine current ship bridges on offshore service vessels including dec
interfaces. The project
ck layout, workplace design and user a
was carried out by
multidisciplinary team of researchers and designers from the fields of interaction, industrial, sound and graphic design, as well as experts
in human factors and
examined. Several display screen layouts were analysed using the RAMSIS cognitive toolbox, which facilitated a comparison of recommended and current character and symbol sizes, this is ongoing work. Initial results have shown the displays to be effective. However , the current navigational procedures are suboptimal in terms of HSC navigational best practice. This will be examined by the authors in further work through the use of RAMSIS to splay configurations. The

use of vision shift time isochrones within RAMSIS Cognitive will enable time critical display po sitions to be clustered. These display configurations will be validated using a bridge simulator with both current WFSV crew and Dynamic NAVigation (DYNAV) HSC experts.
The limitation of the RAMSIS analysis is that it does not consider the high level of vibration and motion of the vessel, which impedes the opeop rators ability to read information from the display s
system. This could be an opportunity for a transfer of innovation such as the use of
