Introduc1on
• Bit about CCD • Why is this a problem?
– Some physical problems in the control room – Problems for operators and their tasks
• How systems integraIon impacts on room design • How to approach it • Case study of TfL Road Tunnel system development
![Page 3: David Watts, CCD Design & Ergonomics (UK) - Defining the Benefits of Systems Integration when Designing a Control Room](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051816/54559240af79594f558b493a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
CCD…
• +35 years’ experience in control rooms • Human Factors / Ergonomics experIse • Integrated with interior design & furniture design • Work across sectors – transport, energy, security, emergency
services • Work around the world

The physical problems
• Control room evolve…

The physical problems
• Over Ime they get added to

Physical problems
• UnIl you can’t recognise the original design
![Page 7: David Watts, CCD Design & Ergonomics (UK) - Defining the Benefits of Systems Integration when Designing a Control Room](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051816/54559240af79594f558b493a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Physical problems
• More kit gets added in

Physical problems
• UnIl the space is unusable

Task impact
![Page 10: David Watts, CCD Design & Ergonomics (UK) - Defining the Benefits of Systems Integration when Designing a Control Room](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051816/54559240af79594f558b493a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
HMI issues
• Inconsistency of presentaIon • Different indicaIons on different systems with same meaning • Different labels or nomenclature • Different ways to navigate schemaIcs, maps or the whole
HMI • Different processes to complete similar tasks • Spread alarm inputs across different systems
• Only impact is to increase workload and increase probability of human error
![Page 11: David Watts, CCD Design & Ergonomics (UK) - Defining the Benefits of Systems Integration when Designing a Control Room](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051816/54559240af79594f558b493a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Alignment with user tasks
• What informaIon does the task require? • When should the informaIon be provided? • Are we avoiding informaIon overload (“because we can”) • Is the informaIon contextual? • Is the informaIon helpful?
• Which comes first? The task or the systems?

Consequences
• Risk of human error • Welfare issues from increased workload • Increased cost of training • Maintenance costs • Procurement issues • More space required as more systems come in

Emerging issues
• Changing way we interact with each other & systems

Emerging issues
• Highly collaboraIve work spaces

Control Room Ecosystem
![Page 18: David Watts, CCD Design & Ergonomics (UK) - Defining the Benefits of Systems Integration when Designing a Control Room](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051816/54559240af79594f558b493a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Case Study – TfL Road Tunnel Control
• LSTOC manages all road tunnels in London including Blackwall & Rotherhithe tunnels under the Thames, and the surrounding road network
• TfL inherited the room & systems from the Met Police • Operates about 300 CCTV cameras, 390 VMS, 126 signals and
42 barriers • Major risk for TfL operaIons – to life and London streets
operaIon

Case Study – TfL Road Tunnel Control
Project objecIves: • Understand the wider strategic framework • What informaIon do operators need? • When do they need it? • Define user tasks for the development of an integrated
system
![Page 20: David Watts, CCD Design & Ergonomics (UK) - Defining the Benefits of Systems Integration when Designing a Control Room](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051816/54559240af79594f558b493a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
TfL Case Study – project ac1vi1es
• Develop strategy for future development – what is LSTOC like in 2030?
• How does the current room work? What are the problems & gaps?
• Analysis: – Define the operaIonal tasks & informaIon needs – Define the workflow and inputs/outputs
• Develop into User Requirements • Go to market for system
– Deliver the requirements AND – Deliver the operaIonal philosophy
