ABSTRACT: This paper presents the research results of identifying and analyzing key requirements for the ESABALT system based on pre-defined user profile groups. These requirements have been identified through multiple sources, which include an electronic survey of potential users of the system, interviews with specialists in navigation, law and computer science, analysis of state-of-the-art in maritime safety procedures, and study of past R&D projects in this field. Finally, these requirements are classified into user level, domain level and system level requirements for easy interpretation while designing the system architecture and its function-al specifications. The presented system specification is discussed.
KEYWORDS: Safety at Sea, Maritime Safety, Baltic Sea, Situation Awareness (SA), User Requirements, ESABALT Project, Identification of Requirements, Situational Awareness at Sea
