Todd Schuett, Training Manager

The IALA 2014 Conference, which took place in La Coruna, Spain, from 25th to 31st May, heard an in-depth paper by Todd Schuett, Training Manager (pictured), Kongsberg Norcontrol IT (KNC) that focused on solutions for reducing stress in the often high pressure VTS operations room environment.

The paper described VTS trials undertaken within D3CoS that sought to establish a relationship between workload and stress levels, and concluded by detailing a prototype co-operative human-machine system that shares data between shore-based and ship-based systems.
