Abstract :
This paper presents how task analysis, standard operating procedures, and interface prototyping have been used in the design and implementation of the Operator Console Workstations at the Central Artery/Third Harbor Tunnel project´s operations control center. Each of these three elements has played a key role in ensuring that the final operator interface to a complex control system is one which is robust, user-friendly, and minimizes the risk of operator error
