Abstract:This report documents the review of currently available RDS/IGrds training materials, survey of training needs, and development of self-instructional training materials to satisfy the most critical identified need. New users of IGrds require training in operating engineering workstations, the Microstation computer graphics software, and RDS. Training materials and courses are available to provide effective training in these areas. IGrds training responsibilities are shared by the TxDOT Districts and the Division of Automation, 0-19. The Districts are responsible for introductory level training, and 0-19 provides intermediate training in IGrds applications. The TxDOT has no formal training materials for introductory level Grds training and, as a result, the quality of training varies among the districts and limits the effectiveness of the intermediate-level training. Therefore, the focus of this study was the development of two types of introductory training materials: (1) a 13-minute slide/audiotape presentation that provides a brief introduction to "The Role of IGrds in the Design of Texas Highways," and (2) self-instructional "IGrds. Practice Problems" that provide new users with instructions and practice problems to become acquainted with each IGrds command currently used in the Department.
