Planning Poker

The cards:

Planningpoker is a ‘best practice’ methodology to estimate e.g. added value, level of complexity, required implementation effort, risk. The technique is based on domain expert evaluation and attaining consensus.

Interpretation when estimating risk:

0 No worries, of-the-shelf standard solutions exist.

2-3 A frequent problem, potentially some hazardous cases, but certainly solvable.

5-8 Significant attention, effort and risk reduction needed

13 Absolutely not a standard problem. Important choices, thorough elaboration, specific expert effort are required for success.

100 Impossible, requires physical laws breakthroughs .

? Don’t know, no experience with this subject.

Needs assessment


High-level scope of

user requirements

We are looking for a solution that allows

To monitor and measure the environment (persons, equipments, external conditions)to determine the hazard-level (safe, hazardous, threatening) by both passive (running in background) and active (deployed on demand) systemsthat translate in alerts or alarms being given

And accordingly adjust the safety by whatever means necessaryE.g. textile

So that safety and comfort are optimally balanced

Irrespective of the context (fire in building, fire in forests, highways, …)

54 use cases have been

generated during

brainstorm

Sample

Multiple actors:

- Firefighter- Intervention Coord. Officer- Trainer- Department Head- Laundry responsible- PPE Manager- Medic

These use cases have been

assessed by dozens of

expert users

~35 usersfrom

all over UK

~15 usersfrom dept

~20 usersfrom

Using moderated “planning poker” session to • objectively prioritize use cases• understand the drivers/reasons behind it• discuss and clarify differences between audience

PPS prototype priorities:

value vs. risk

31


Focus area 1


embedded in PPS

1. Hybrid localization system (GPS + inertial) is preferential. Risk reduction should focus on limiting indoor drift.

2. Relative distance between FF: through relay via ICO at minimal risk, or directlybetween FF via hybrid local. system at increased risk.

3. The concept ‘MAP’ should be merely seen as relative ‘Track & Trace’ map, enabling‘meet point’ and ‘recovery path’ instructions. Cartesian coordinated map: whenavailable, provide plug-in in PPS.

4. Beacons: significant risk reduction required, and high TCO not acceptable

5. GSM, GPS (too low value), SLAM (too high risk): discarded as standalone options

6. Area/buiding maps, asset mgmt system coupling: discarded.

value vs. risk

Focus area 2

PPS sensors & active

subsystems

1. Physiological data capture, general alert recommendation generation holds no risk. Generating alerts on an individual level requires more effort.

2. Monitoring environmental temperature holds no risk. Regarding gas detection, good, standalone, but expensive gas detectors exist. Finding the trade-offs between size, cost/TCO, accuracy, power consumption, etc. is difficult. A simple explosive gas detector might be envisaged (but false positives, maintenance)

3. Using a cheap, miniature IR thermal imaging sensor/camera with relevant resolution and detection range in high temperature environments holds significant risk. Providing visual feedback via HMD, HUD, etc. is at least equally difficult.

4. Active illumination to achieve omnidirectional “be seen” holds no risk under precondition that simple clip is used by FF. Usability of the system in all conditions is not at all straightforward.

5. Avoiding sweat being turned into steam can be improved through a pure textile approach, by reviewing tenders and FF’s comfort balance (e.g. skin resistance). This will take lobby effort.

DATA CONNECTIVITY

1. Use ideally PMR for voice and limited data, MANET for data and selected compressed images, UNB for small data sets at low update frequencies.

2. Risk reduction on: indoor penetration performance and data rate, irrespective of architecturechoice.

3. Connectivity on FF: cabled (USB) and/or wireless (Bluetooth), focus on interference risk.

4. Update rate/logging of network data to ICO: approach near real-time. Risk reduction on scalability of deployed network nodes vs. update rate.

USER FEEDBACK / VISUALIZATION

1. Intuitive UI dashboard for ICO: align with way of working

2. FF restitution: audio + simple UI (button/lights + haptic belt. Risk reduction on automatedmodality selection and ergonomic use (especially belt)

3. Visual feedback to FF via HMD, HUD in visor, etc.: significant risk in finding trade-offs betweencost, ergonomic use (brightness, contrast, “see-through”, etc.), robustness.Display on sleeve: not usable, discarded.

Focus area 4

PPS integration

1. Setting-up the right architecture is key and holds significant risk (data model, distributed/central processing, flexibility, scalability of system, trade-offs local performance vs. remote responsiveness (online vs. offline), interfaces for escalation & aggregation, etc.)

2. Limited integration with (underwear, turnout gear) textile is preferential, woven-in, layered-on ICT-textile integration bears too high risk

3. PPS on FF can be cabled and/or wireless.

4. Cabled: risk reduction on: easy mounting/replacing of cables/connectors; durability of cables/connectors; dealing with different turnout gear sizes; integrating UIs

5. Wireless: risk reduction on: limiting interference (cfr. data connectivity); easy launch, start-up and assurance of correct operations via minimal # UIs

6. Electromagnetic shielding of the different devices (sensors, processing unit,…) on the firefighter should be taken into account, without implementing military-grade measures.

7. Setting up a suited 2-level service model is considered achievable (level 1: recommended inspection procedure at station, level 2: on-demand assistance, repair, certification, etc.
