Human Factors Applications to Computer-Aided System Design in LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) Facilities. Volume 1. Design Principles. Final Report August 1983-October 1985

摘要

The principal objectives of this project were to: (1) develop HF design guidelines for computer-aided control and display systems in LNG facilities, and (2) assist the GRI in disseminating project results and developing industry-standard guidelines. A comprehensive collection of state-of-the-art HF guidelines were developed for the workspace, data display, operator-computer dialogue, data entry, annunciator systems and support systems. Examples illustrate HF enhancements resulting from the application of these guidelines. A guideline and checklist package was also developed for use as a practical handbook by the industry when evaluatingor improving control and display systems. The package of design and enhancement principles is intended for use by plant operators in evaluating control and display systems and making recommendations for systems improvements, by plant managers in ensuring that HF considerations are incorporated in computer-aided plant systems, and by engineers and equipment vendors in designing equipment and adapting control and display systems to LNG facilities.
