PervaSafe Computing

Project Goals

PervaSafe focuses on combining the safety-critical requirements and system aspects of control rooms.

Design pattern

We derive design patterns as vocabulary and a pattern language for scalable interaction

Human-centred design process

We design in control rooms, following a human-centred and participatory design process

Wearable technologies

We focus on wearable framework for control room operators, enabling more personal, non-centric interactions

Validate and evaluation

Validate and evaluate the resulting design patterns and their realization with the aid of wearable assistants

Events

Demonstrator at 50 Years University of Siegen

On May 14, 2022, we presented our wearable system to capture vital signs from control room operators at a packed University of Siegen's 50 years celebrations event. Colleagues and passers-by were able to get a hands-on demonstration of our prototypes reading their heartrate, breathing, and stress level, along with hand and eye tracking.

In-Person Team Meeting in Siegen

On April 12, 2022, the PervaSafe Team met in Siegen to synchronize and discuss our progress with journalists that report on the project within the SPP2199 priority programme.

Visit to Ship Bridge Simulator in Elsfleth

On October 29, 2020, we visited the ship bridge simulator in Elsfleth, which provides prospective officers and captains with a realistic environment to train their skills. Such a simulation environment provides us with valuable insights into a different kind of control room and, due to the adaptability of the environment, allows for further experiments to explore the interaction of the operators with the control room.

Visit to Landau's Integrated Control Centre

On October 6, 2021, we visited the Landau Integrated Control Centre. The control centre is operated by the German Red Cross. The operators are responsible, among other things, for emergency call retrieval and alerting of the fire brigade and rescue service, as well as the management of ambulance transports and disaster control. As part of the workshop, potential scenarios and functions of a control room as a pervasive computing environment were introduced and discussed with the experts. We would like to thank Mr. Bruhne and his colleagues for the interesting exchange.
