  • Industry: #maritime #autonomy #self-explainingAI

About the Company

The CAPTN Initiative is looking into Clean Autonomous Public Transportaion Networks in Kiel. As part of the initiative, there is an autonomous research vessel, the MS Wavelab, that is used to develop the autonomous navigation behaviour and train the AI system. 

CAPTN X-Ferry is a subproject that concentrates on the self-explanations of the autonomous behaviour for both groups of users: the nautical personnel and the passengers.

Challenge

Your task is to design an information dashboard for the passengers, that is alligned with their requirements. In the future this dasboard might be used as part of a passenger ticket app, on information screens at ferry stops or as interactive information screens on the ferry.

Background information

You will be provided with the first version of the demo built for passengers and the feedback collected with it. Your task will be to implement the feedback and update the whole design by using  openbridge assets that are becoming industry standards.
