Information display guidelines for Rescue stations

Information arrangement

  All-at-once arrangement is not suitable for rescue stations, since the operators do not have sufficient opportunities to learn the location of the information items on screen

  Drill-down arrangement is suitable for rescue stations, enabling safe perception, since the operators are not expected to learn their location on screen.

Redundant information

  Do not present irrelevant information that may take too long to read

Avoid overwhelming data

  Enable the operators to explicitly hide the setup parameters.

Exceptional values

  Context-sensitive screens used in routine operation should provide special salient indication about context variables with exceptional values.

Highlight exceptions

  When there are too many parameters to display, highlight those that deviate from the default data
