Human-autonomy collaboration plays a pivotal role in the development of Maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS), as Shore control center (SCC) operators may engage loop by directly operating MASS, or, supervisory loop, monitoring MASS and taking over when needed. Thus, efficient human performance during takeover operation is crucial for safety operations. However, since still early phase development, mechanism errors unknown, data on human-autonomy collaborative scarce. Human reliability...
Abstract In this paper, we summarize the experiences with autonomous passenger ferry development prototype milliAmpere, which has been used as a test platform in several research projects at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) since 2017. New algorithms for motion planning, control, collision avoidance, docking, multi-target tracking localization have developed verified full-scale experiments milliAmpere. The infrastructure surrounding milliAmpere includes sensor rigs...
Autonomous ships require remote supervision from a human operator to ensure safety. However, there are knowledge gaps concerning factor influences on supervisory control. We investigate the influence of five factors control during simulated intervention scenarios: (i) Skillset, represented by gamers and navigators; (ii) Monitoring Time, either 5 or 30 min passive monitoring; (iii) Number Vessels, one three vessels; (iv) Available 20- 60-s critical time windows; (v) Decision Support System...
Abstract Autonomous ferries are providing new opportunities for urban transport mobility. With this change comes a risk picture, which is characterised to large extent by the safe transition from autonomous mode manual model in critical situations. The paper presents case study of applying an adapted assessment method based on Scenario Analysis Crisis Intervention and Operability (CRIOP) framework. focuses applicability address human-automation interaction. This done presenting prototype...
Autonomous vehicles are being increasingly tested for transportation applications, yet investigations of user experience remain relatively rare. This paper presents a dataset questionnaire responses (N = 146) investigating passengers on board an autonomous ferry in Norway. The was the "milliAmpere2," urban owned and operated by Norwegian University Science Technology (NTNU). consisted 46 question items across four categories: (i) demographics background information, (ii) passenger...
Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) for Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) addresses developers’ needs model interpretation, understandability, and trust. As ASVs approach wide-scale deployment, these are expanded to include end user interactions in real-world contexts. Despite recent successes of technology-centered XAI enhancing the explainability AI techniques expert users, approaches do not necessarily carry over non-expert users. Passengers, other vessels, remote operators will...
Abstract As highly automated ships become unmanned, their operators will move into shore-based control centers. In the last years, NTNU has built an advanced and flexible research infrastructure for performing on autonomous monitoring of these. The comprises (1) milliAmpere1 milliAmpere2 , which are two all-electric urban passenger ferries equipped with sensors equipment navigation, (2) Shore Control Lab a shore center, where can monitor fleet ships, (3) lab section researchers to give...

Questionnaires their responses are paired samples collected before after use (N = 884). also transcripts semi-structured interviews on themes reliability 25). was held Trondheim, Norway, during period September-October 2022. ferry used "milliAmpere2," which is owned operated by...
Abstract The concept of remotely operated, unmanned, and autonomous ships is creating increasing interest in the maritime domain, promising safety, increased efficiency sustainability. Shore control centers (SCCs) have been proposed to operate such vessels some industry projects are initiated. This paper aims at bringing knowledge about what a SCC envisioned be. It identifies explores challenges related designing developing SCCs through semi-structured interviews with research community...
Abstract In navigation applications, Artificial Intelligence (AI) can improve efficiency and decision making. It is not clear, however, how designers should account for human cooperation when integrating AI systems in work. a novel empirical study, we examine the transition maritime domain towards higher levels of machine autonomy. Our method involved interviewing technology (n = 9) navigators aboard two partially automated ferries 5), as well collecting field observations one ferries. The...
Abstract Teaming with Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the way seafarers work. We show that a new kind of seafaring emerging, characterized by cooperation AI systems. In this format seafaring, navigation tasks are controlled automatically while human operators manage automation, always “in loop” and ready to take over control if necessary. Ideally, arrangement sees improvements in overall system performance safety. However, little known today about how work will unfold real-world...

Abstract Currently, both experimental and commercial autonomous ferry services have a safety operator onboard who monitors the systems, takes care of passengers’ safety, gives them necessary information. Service touchpoints are all interaction points between passengers throughout passenger journey, from planning trip to reaching their destination. To reach state where service can be unmanned, by moving into remote operation centre, several additional systems needed support provide with This...
Abstract Introduction: Remote Operating Centers (ROCs) enable human oversight of remotely operated and autonomous ships. However, the “human-in-the-loop” model automated control implies prolonged periods inactivity punctuated by safety-critical action. This paper investigates extent to which this role is aligned with humans’ innate attentional resources in terms boredom, vigilance, repetition.
