Control Room Design
 

Control rooms are highly specialised work spaces where experts monitor safety-critical equipment and take decisions that may have a great impact on precious equipment, vital resources and (in)directly on human lives. The design and equipment of a control room as a work environment comprises many aspects, pertaining to both physical and cognitive ergonomics: room layout, light and environmental conditions, set-up of a single work position, set up of multiple screens, interface design of the applications. All these aspects may support or hamper the required collaborative decision making processes.

  • How useful is a large, shared display?
  • How to distribute operational roles over the control room?
  • How can several control rooms be merged?
  • How to enhance a comfortable, efficient and safe mode of operation within a control room?
  • How does the room function in case of a crisis?
  • How many screens are needed and how to position them?
  • How to maintain an operator’s level of vigilance and expertise in a highly automated environment?
