WISE Cargo

Operations

The feedback uses 'Expert System' techniques to monitor operations within the model and provide appropriate feedback to the operator. The 'rules' within the system are primarily related to three areas:

  • Training
  • Safety
  • Operational efficiency

and have been developed with the help of subject experts and those actively engaged in monitoring student performance using the Liquid Cargo Simulator.

The module will check all the rules (currently 1000+) on a regular basis and output feedback at time periods not exceeding 20secs and dependent upon the status of the model at the time.

The rules have been developed so that quite complex scenarios covering all the systems associated with cargo operations are monitored and hence the system will provide sufficient information to allow an operator to learn how to use such a cargo system safely and efficiently without outside assistance.

Supplementary Material
The messages provided by the feedback module are the first level of feedback and provide sufficient information to indicate a problem or provide basic advice.

To allow the operator to the access detailed feedback or information individual messages are linked directly into the appropriate sections within on-line documentation. These are accessed by the operator 'double-clicking' on the appropriate message.

The supplied documentation comprises guidance on operational procedures, checklists and information providing general assistance. The content and amount of material can be expanded if so required, including the inclusion of company specific material and links to other relevant Computer Based Training Modules.
