Emergency preparedness on autonomous passenger ferries & ROCs (EMERGE)

EMERGE
Emerge

The EMERGE project focuses on emergency preparedness for autonomous passenger ferries and remote operation centres (ROCs). It addresses challenges such as passenger evacuation, man overboard and loss of communication. The project involves RISE, Torghatten and other stakeholders, with the aim of improving safety and operational procedures.

The EMERGE project aims to improve emergency preparedness on autonomous passenger ferries and remote operation centres, namely man overboard, evacuation and loss of communication, from three main perspectives: the ROC perspective, the on-board perspective and the rescue network perspective. This is crucial to ensure the safe operation and acceptance of autonomous vessels (MASS) monitored from remote operations centres (ROC). The goal is to map current emergency procedures, define safety challenges and adapt procedures for autonomous ferries and for interactions between the MASS/ROC system. The project will contribute recommendations for specific training, design of onboard and ROC systems, and rescue organisations, and develop and test prototypes for safety solutions. User-centred design (UCD) will be used to explore requirements and solutions for information sharing, usability and training. The results will improve safety and guide future research.

RISE coordinates the project and is a research partner. Ship operator Torghatten contributes with its concepts and demonstrators. A reference group also contributes to the project.

Operator monitoring industrial processes via control room with multiple screens

As society becomes more high-tech, digital, and interconnected, vulnerability increases. Automated transport, interconnected energy systems, and just-in-time deliveries create efficiency—but also new risks. For companies and organizations, this poses challenges: How can you ensure that safety-critical control systems function correctly? How do you build information systems that not only withstand attacks but can also adapt and recover? How do you manage continuity when your business is hit by cyberattacks, fires, or other disruptions? How do you address new risks from electric vehicles, hydrogen, and batteries?

Why RISE

01

Functional safety assessment

– independent verification of safety-critical control systems according to IEC 61508, ISO 26262, and other standards
02

Electrical safety testing and certification

– accredited testing of electrical products against risks such as electric shock, fire, and heat hazards
03

Continuity management ISO 22301

– certification of management systems that ensure that operations continue to function in the event of disruptions
04

Resilient information systems

– arena for collaboration and skills development around systems that resist and recover from threats
05

Risk analysis and system security

– holistic view of technical and organizational resilience from product to entire operations
RISE helps organisations build safety and resilience from product to operation. When safety-critical control systems are developed for machines, vehicles or the process industry, RISE conducts independent functional safety assessments and tests to verify electrical safety. Through risk analyses and system safety perspectives, RISE takes a holistic approach where technical solutions are combined with organisational resilience – from individual components to entire information systems.
