5.8. Watch Zones

In the Aqwa editor, you can add and define Watch Zones. Depending on your marine operations, a Watch Zone can represent a wide range of zone types. For example, they could be used for safety zones, exclusion or restricted zones, protected areas, watch systems or derisking zones, or political borders.

In Aqwa, Watch Zones are static geometric objects, which are used for postprocessing as a result object. This derives information about the behaviour of a tracked point with respect to defined zones in the XY plane. The relationship between a zone and a tracked point is described in Watch Zone Statistics Results. The definition of a Watch Zone does not affect the solve.

To add a Watch Zone:

  1. From the Outline, select the Watch Zones object.

  2. Right-click and select Add Watch Zone, or click the Watch Zone icon in the toolbar.
