Optimizing ECDIS as an Information Resource for Ocean Navigation
He Xing et al.
What the paper says
Ship electronic chart display and information systems have become critical information resources in ocean navigation; however, their effectiveness has been frequently undermined by data overload, delayed responses, and poor interface design. This study treated ship electronic chart display and information systems as a managed information resource needing to be aligned with operational demands and human cognitive capacity—not just a technical tool. The study proposed a lightweight, three-layer optimization approach based on adaptive data loading, predictive risk awareness, and cognitive load-aware display. This approach improved decision support without hardware upgrades. Validated through real automatic identification systems (AIS) trajectories and crew eye-tracking, the framework enhanced situational awareness and reduced operator stress in high-traffic voyages. The findings offer practical guidance for maritime organizations regarding better management of onboard information systems to improve safety and operational efficiency.
