A dedicated SIDERA display (Situational Awareness) has been requested to be developed for the WCX WMCC Videowall to provide high-level notifications to personnel present at the WMCC. The intention of this schematic is to reflect the live status on the WCX motorway tunnel and present relevant notifications when abnormal conditions occur on the motorway and main IOMCS systems.

Manually calculated arcminute, this exercise allowed me to calculate the viewing distance from the furthest operator desk.
Applied the wireframe to the layout of the road. I worked on M4-M5 Link, Rozelle and now M6 Stage1.
Wireframing from the existing schematics screen.
