Abstract:The Advanced Transportation Management System (ATMS) developed by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is a critical tool in transportation management centers (TMCs) across Texas. User acceptance often depends on how easy or useful the software is to use. Tills interaction is typically controlled by the user interface. This report details an evaluation of the TxDOT ATMS product. In general, the ATMS client screens conform well to accepted design principles for user interfaces. While slight problems were identified at a number of locations, the overall user interface is excellent and provides an operator with the ability to quickly enter information and examine the status of the roadway and field devices. In comparison, the ATMS data entry screens were not as polished and suffer from a number of common user interface problems that lead to confusion. This confusion could lead to incorrect data entry and incorrect configuration of the ATMS product.
