4.5  Bridge Alert ManagementBridge Alert Management (BAM) is an overall concept to enhance the handling, distributionand presentation of alerts on the bridge in a consistent manner.

ECDIS NX4 Annex

Edition:001 307 10000000351

This concept is described in the IMO performance standard “MSC.302(87) Performancestandard for Bridge Alert Management”. Equipment-related details are defined in otherequipment-related performance and test standards.

The objective of BAM is to harmonize the priority, classification, handling, distributionand presentation of alerts. It enables the bridge team to devote full attention to the safeoperation of the ship. Furthermore the bridge team immediately finds any alert situationrequiring attention and / or action to maintain the safe operation of the ship. Unnecessarydistraction of the bridge team by redundant and superfluous audible and visual alertannouncements shall be avoided. It reduces the cognitive workload of the operator byminimizing the presented information which is necessary to draw attention to and to assessthe situation.

On the bridge alerts are presented on the individual equipment and / or on a Central AlertManagement Human Machine Interface (CAM-HMI).

Alerts are divided in different priorities:

• Emergency alarm1

Highest priority of an alert. These Alarms show immediate danger to human life or tothe ship and its machinery and demand immediate action.

• Alarm

An alarm is a high-priority alert. Conditions requiring immediate attention and actionby the bridge team to avoid any kind of hazardous situation and to maintain the safeoperation of the ship.

• Warning

Conditions or situations which require immediate attention for precautionary reasons.A warning makes the bridge team aware of conditions which are not immediatelyhazardous, but may become so. (Warning may be escalated to alarm).

• Caution

Lowest priority of an alert. Awareness of a condition which still requires attention out ofthe ordinary consideration of the situation or of given information.

Alerts are divided in different categories:

• Category A

Alerts for which graphical information at the task station (such as radar or ECDIS)directly assigned to the function generating the alert. This is necessary as decisionsupport for the evaluation of the alert-related condition. These alerts can only beacknowledged at the task station.

• Category B

Alerts where no additional information for decision support is necessary besidesthe information which can be presented at the CAM-HMI. These alerts can beacknowledged at the task station or at the CAM-HMI.

• Category C

Alerts that cannot be acknowledged on the bridge. These alerts require moreinformation about the status and treatment of the alerts (e.g. certain alerts from theengine).

4.6.5  Associated TargetsThe user can select to display an associated target (i.e. activated AIS target that isassociated with tracked radar target) as either activated AIS target symbol or tracked radartarget symbol.

Alternatively, an activated AIS target symbol representing an associated target is modifiedby circumscribing a circle around the symbols isosceles triangle. A tracked radar targetsymbol that represents an associated target is resented with larger diameter circles (up to5 mm), modified by inscribing an isosceles triangle inside the symbols circle.

The circumscribed circle and inscribed triangle is drawn using a thin solid line style with thesame basic color than that is used for target symbols.

An associated target is labeled or numbered, as applicable. Alphanumeric text is used tolabel / number the associated targets that has been drawn with the same basic color asused for target symbols.

4.6.7  Velocity Vectors

Velocity Vectors

A velocity vector is displayed as single line that is originated at the targets tracked /reported position. The vector is extended in the direction of course (CTW or COG), asapplicable. The length represents the distance that the target travels in the time intervalthat is used for own ship’s velocity vector. Vectors have a thick short dashed line with thesame basic color that is used for target symbols.

Velocity vectors for dangerous targets are drawn in red basic color and flashes with theirbase target symbol until acknowledged by the user.

Once acknowledged, the symbol ceased flashing and, unless considered as dangerous,assumed the basic color of other nondangerous target symbols.

Time Increments

Time increments are shown drawn across target velocity vectors.

Time increments are displayed as single lines perpendicular to the vector with theirmidpoint on them and extending not more than 1.5 mm on either side. They are spacedalong the vectors to represent the distance that the target travels in the time increment ofthe time interval that is used for own ship’s velocity vector. The increments have a thicksolid line with the same basic color as for target symbols.

Time increments for a dangerous target are displayed in the required red basic color andflashes with their base target symbol until acknowledged by the user.

Once acknowledged, the symbol ceased flashing and, unless considered as dangerous, isdisplayed in the basic color of other nondangerous target symbols.

Predicted Area of Danger

Optionally, predicted areas of danger (PADs) are shown along the path of target velocityvector.

PADs are displayed as an outline area geographically representing a target predictedCPA / TCPA violations. The PADs shape is modified by knowledge of own shipmaneuvering characteristics, safety contour limits, etc.. PADs are oriented in the directionof their velocity vectors. The PADs have a thick solid line with the same basic color as theirtarget symbols.

PADs for dangerous targets flash with their base symbol until acknowledged by the user.

When a target is selected, the associated PAD is highlighted for identification.
