User interests. As a starting point, PROLOGUE considered ND research potentially interesting for a wide variety of transport-related professionals, including not only road transport re- searchers, but also car industry, insurance companies, driver training and certification organisations, police, road authorities, and policymakers. To get a better feeling of the exact interests of these stakeholders, two international and six national/regional work- shops were organized. In addition, two small-scale surveys were performed; one among members of the PROLOGUE User Forum and another among workshop par- ticipants. Table 4.1 provides some factual and quantitative information about these ac- tivities.
User interests. The user is interested in results of a seismic intensity measure type (IMT) for a particular region. Information on a particular site is obtained through the HCP. The model selection procedure follows an internal logic which turns on / off available options in the more detailed selection process. The logic also implies that availability of data layers change; the user may only overlay data that was used to build the selected hazard model. The user is presented with a pre-computed hazard map in the extent of the region showing the exceedance probability for a default IMT. The map extends over most 2/3 of the screen size (Figure 2) including map controls (zoom and display options) and an overview map that can be toggled on / off. The layer control allows to overly data set that are independent of the PSHA model (Model independent overlay options). Export Utilities are provided in the top right section giving the choice of exporting the data in various formats and also as a printable fact sheet (details below). The user can choose via the map controls his region of interest. The map controls use the MapServer-Technology and allow to: • zoom in and out • grab the map and move • move using arrows • fall back to global map extent • turn on/off overview map The overview map shows the extent of the map on the pre-computed map extent. The map can be toggled on and off.
