Human Engineering Considerations for Implementation of the Operational Information System at the Welland Canal Traffic Control Centre.

Abstract

In response to a request from the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority, DCIEM conducted a study of some human engineering aspects of the implementation of an Operational Information System (OIS) for the Welland Canal Traffic Control Centre. This project is one of the improvements planned by the Authority in order to increase the capacity of the Welland Canal. The study will suggest some human engineering considerations relevant to the introduction of computer equipment for supervisory and traffic control tasks. However, due to the limited duration of this study, only general recommendations are provided. (Author)
