Abstract
Example systems and methods are provided herein for alerting a user on a watercraft by determining where on the watercraft the user is and providing a physical alert to efficiently and effectively notify the user. A processor is configured to determine an occurrence of one or more triggers, where each of the one or more triggers corresponds to at least one of identifying an object within an image, recognizing a system fault, detecting a triggering event, or detecting an object in a body of water. In response to the one or more triggers, the processor is configured to determine one or more locations on the watercraft in which to report the one or more triggers and then cause one or more devices at the determined one or more locations on the watercraft to perform a physical alert to notify the user.
