ABSS System
Market Research 


  We are currently conducting a survey of potential users of the ABSS
  system, the percentage of YES answers are expressed in the below graph
  with the associated questions.

  If the percentage is highlighted in GREEN it is desirable for the ABSS project.

  Potential problems highlighted in RED.

  


  

    Question
    %YES
  


  
  
    Do you feel competent with computers and other electronics?

    (current system) Accurately collects depth information?
    
    0%
  


  
  
    
    (current system) Accurately determines location of depth reading?
    
    0%
  


  
  
    
    (current system) Time taken to collect information in the water?
    
    0%
  


  
  
    
    Time taken to use current software to input information and create chart?
    
    0%
  


  
  
    
    Do you think today's technology could be used to create a better system to conduct hydro-recons,

    specifically to collect depth information?

    Do you think a GPS is reliable to accurately determine location?
    
    100%
  


  
  
    
    Do you think a Fathometer is reliable to accurately determine depth?
    
    100%
  


  
  
    
    Do you think combining GPS and Fathometer technology, the ability to store

    that information and graphically display that information on a chart/map is worth
    investigating?
    		
    100%
  


  
  
    
    Do you think the location/depth information should be collected manually

    when the user pushes a button?
    		
    100%
  


  
  
    
    Do you think when the user discovers and obstacle, the user

    pushes a button which stores that location as an obstacle and will later be

    graphically displayed on the map/chart is worth designing?
    		
    100%
  


  
  
    
    An advanced feature may include using a digital camera to photo the beach,

    then linking location from data collected from the GPS and displaying the photos

    with the map/chart. Do you think this is worth investigating?
