Chapter 12 – Personnel Movement and Material Handling12.3.2 Assessment Phase Activities12.3.2.1 Specify Traffic Flow, Storing and RAS RequirementsPurposeTo establish the requirements for personnel movement andmaterial handling on the platform, with a view to influencing thedevelopment of the General Arrangement.Inputs • Product of Traffic Flow Concept (Sect 12.3.1.1)• Equipment fit and maintenance and replenishmentoperations (Chap 16)• Environmental specifications (Chap 13)Methods • Operational Scenario Description• [Project Specific] Target Audience Description• Link AnalysisStepsThe requirement for traffic flow, storing and RAS is defined asfollows:• Use Operational Scenarios to help analyse system andequipment fits, stores fits and accommodation fits to identifytypes of materials to be handled and the environmentalconditions involved.• Use Link Analysis to analyse relevant existing platformdesigns to assist in identifying potential human trafficsources and destinations.• Estimate personnel flow rates and material handling volumerequirements from historic data. Define applicable HFIrelatedstandards including body size, movement andstrength constraints from the PSTAD.• Categorise the flows and material handling volume intogroups such as domestic, maintenance and repair, storing,troop embarkation and disembarkation, fire fighting anddamage control, CBRN etc.• Define high-level routing design requirements of flow rateand material handling sizing, and route length for removalroutes, RAS and storing routes, ammunition routes, troopand equipment embarkation and disembarkation routes, etc.• Identify effect on General Arrangement, design constraintsand degree of compromise in HFI design of routing sizing,handling and location.HFI ActivitiesNov 2006 Page 12-13 Issue 4
