Towards a model-based approach for context-aware assistance systems in offshore operations

摘要

With the effort to increase renewable energy production, offshore wind power plants become increasingly important. Thus, there is a growing necessity to carry out offshore operations like construction or maintenance of wind power plants. Offshore operations are complex, risky, and therefore prone to accidents. A context aware assistance system might help to increase the safety during these operations. It could observe the status of safety relevant entities with sensors and support crews by displaying status information and triggering warnings in occurrence of critical situations. As the safety relevant entities and the critical situations depend on the executed operation, the assistance system needs to be based on a dynamic and flexible context model. This paper introduces an approach to design an easy adaptable, extendable and deployable context model for an offshore operation assistance system.
