List of Wishes for future development of IWRAP
The following items have been identified as possible developments of the free version of IWRAP Mk2:
Enhanced modelling/analysis capabilities
- Different Lateral Distributions for different Vessel types or Draft Classes
- Possible to display the location of historical groundings and collisions
- Possibility to define different area traffic to different parts of the model
- The lateral distributions should be displayed/represented as heading vectors. This will enable the analyst to determine if a leg should be divided into more than one leg. If a distribution contains a large spread of headings, the leg should be divided into two or even several shorter legs, or possibly even a set of crossing legs.(By Omar/Erik 2. May 2010)
Polygon Improvements
- Ease polygon digitalization, polygon edit like Google Earth
- Ground polygon list
- Labelling of polygons (DONE OFE/DEC2009)
- Ground polygon color definition per depth (DONE OFE/DEC2009)
- Store ground polygons in separate files
Result view enhancement
- Graphical illustration of differences between 2 jobs
- Absolute chart scale
- Enable display of partial results
- Ranked list of collisions and groundings results, enable jump to leg, ground, waypoint in geographic result view
General Improvements
- Development tool - Migrate to Qt 4.5
- Split and join leg
- Remove waypoints, combine legs
- Causation reduction factor change overview
- Model modification report, e.g. list causation changes
- Reduction factor schemes
- Plugin framework, causation factor, display overlay
- More information to manual about how to choose the value of mean time between checks when analyzing different sea areas
- Should be possible to modify mean time between checks for each leg individually (OFE/05DEC2009)
- Possibility to calculate with monthly traffic volumes (without multiplying volumes by 12 and then dividing results by 12)
- Change job names or add comments to jobs after they have been completed
- Overwrite decimal zeros when keyboarding speeds and frequency adjustment factors in Traffic Volume Distribution Editor
- Calculate overtaking and head-on collision frequencies per length unit of leg, not per leg (so that longer legs would not look riskier than shorter legs)
Note that automated import of AIS data is planned as part of the commercial version of IWRAP.
