Abstract :
In recent years there has been trend away from single sensor/single (SS/SI) indicator boards as the means by which overall understanding of current work-flow is expressed. Rather, computer screen based supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems are being modified to meet this need. This paper looks at some of the limitations inherent in existing SCADA systems and proposes simple display modifications that can be made to improve overall situation awareness (SA). An example from a hydro-power control room is described.
