Fairway Planning
Summary
Concepting a decision tool for the Harbourmaster that combines data from weather, traffic, emergency services and vessel planning to improve the port's safety and efficiency.

The Harbourmaster's team relies on data from multiple disconnected sources — weather forecasts, vessel planning, traffic systems, and emergency services — to make real-time decisions about fairway safety and efficiency. Combining these streams manually creates cognitive overhead and increases the risk of missed signals.

Early concepts needed to be validated against real data and genuine user needs before committing to an implementation path. Static wireframes couldn't adequately stress-test the interaction model for a high-stakes operational tool.

The project needed a clear structure to hand off to an implementation team without losing design intent or leaving open questions that would stall development.

Understanding what statistical and AI models could realistically deliver for port planning predictions — and where their limits lie — was critical to setting the right expectations for the concept and avoiding over-engineering.
