The aim of the LetsROC project (Remote Operation Center for (semi-)autonomous shipping) is to develop and certify concepts and solutions for human-machine interaction in remote operation centers (ROCs) for monitoring and controlling a MASS fleet in maritime shipping. This requires the identification of operationally relevant scenarios (e.g., docking, pilotage, and sea passage under various environmental and traffic conditions) and requirements, as well as the identification of parameters such as navigation status, course, speed, other ship parameters, sensor data, system states and error messages. Last but not least, the integration of this data from simulators into the ROC platform will be an important contribution by HSB.
