10 Functional aspects of CAM

  10.1 The CAM should handle alert information for presentation on the CAM-HMI, including priority, state.

  10.2 Alert information, including priority, state should be distributed to appropriate functions and equipment carrying out further processing or presentation (e.g., CAM-HMI).

  10.3 The presentation of the alert on the bridge equipment should be consistent as far as practicable with respect to how alerts are displayed. Before presentation of an alert on any HMI it should be checked wherever possible, whether the functions and equipment may have the ability to evaluate and process the alert with additional knowledge, regarding its presentation, priority, and state. If this functionality is provided the CAM should support this further processing. The presentation of an alert should take place after the result of the processing could have been taken into consideration. For INS, the requirements are specified in paragraph 21 of the Performance standards for integrated navigation systems (INS) (resolution MSC.252(83)).

  10.4 Only one CAM should be active on the bridge at any one time, but it is allowed to display and operate the information on multiple CAM-HMIs. The CAM functions may be centralized or partly centralized in subsystems and interconnected via a standardized alert-related communication.
