APPLICATION OF TRANSPORT SECURITY SYSTEM SYMBOLOGY FOR EMERGENCY MASS NOTIFICATION SYSTEMS

The visualisation of resources is becoming an increasingly important factor in the operations of crisis management teams. The efficiency of crisis management processes depends on the possibility of data exchange between crisis management teams and people within the range of expected and actual threats. An important part of the information provided to people is the description of the condition of the transport system. The authors of this work carried out comparative analyses of visualisation standards in terms of a selected transport system for six selected countries and organisations. Based on the survey results, they managed to assess the functionality and usability of the visualisation of the Polish transport system. This research was based on a modified model of assessment of software functionality and usability. Methods of determining the functionality and usability of a transport system visualisation can help crisis management teams assess the suitability of IT tools for use in mass notification systems. The literature on this subject lacks a scientific analysis of the Polish method of the visualisation of the transport system. Therefore, this study will clearly fill this research gap.
