Risk based decision aid for damage control
other
The current trend in ship design is to reduce the crew. Special attention should be paid to damage control, which is a labour intensive task. Having less crew members implies that more tasks have to be automated. It also means a reduction of the available 'human sensors’, which leads to difficulties with the situation assessment. Lots of hi-tech sensors and actuators are commercially available, but are they affordable and do they lead to a well balanced system? This paper provides a proposal for a ‘Risk Based Decision Aid for Damage Control’. The aid can be used in the design phase to optimize, among others, the sensor suite and automated damage control systems. Subsequently, the decision aid can provide the basis of a decision support system as part of the monitoring an control systems. The emphasis is on modelling the operational decision making process and incorporating it into the design philosophy. The resulting design will ensure that the damage control systems are deployed like the designers intended. The Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research and the Royal Netherlands Navy work together to refine the method.
