Concept OverviewConcept Overview

District 4 desired proportional fonts to preserve existing message libraries

The following requirements were defined:

– TM001P: The incident management function shall use each DMS' font characteristics to determine response plan messages.

– DM005M: SunGuide software shall be able to configure a font to use with a SunGuide defined DMS device to either use proportional fonts that are user specified for each type of DMS or to use fixed width font. This requirement applies to Mark IV and NTCIP complaint DMS devices.


Concept Overview – ContinuedConcept Overview – Continued

– DM005M1: SunGuide shall require that a font be assigned to each DMS device.

– DM005M2: SunGuide shall horizontally center all lines on the sign with respect to the pixel length of the message line versus the pixel width of the sign on the non-NTCIP complaint mark IV signs

– DM005M3: SunGuide shall allow a user to define a font for each type of DMS in use using the following characteristics:

• Name of font;• Character height in pixels;• Default character width in pixels; and• Width in pixels for any characters whose width differs from

the default.

– DM005M4: DMS shall use each device's font characteristics to determine whether a message can be displayed.


Concept Overview – ContinuedConcept Overview – Continued

– DM005M5: The SunGuide GUI in all operator viewable screens shall show the correct number of characters per line but will not use proportional font spacing.

– DM005M6: SunGuide shall provide a minimum of one (1) and no more than three (3) message templates for each DMS device in the District’s inventory (not to exceed 512 signs).

– DM016M1: SunGuide shall publish the maximum number of characters per line for each DMS in the inventory information sent through C2C. No proportional font information will be sent over the C2C interface.

Design OverviewDesign Overview

Cost-effective solution as opposed to downloading fonts from devices

Minimal operations impact– Administrators define zero or more fonts – DMSs must be assigned a font or select “Char-Based

Font” if using character based rather than line or full matrix

– No changes needed for districts not using proportional fonts (define all DMSs as character based)

Same proportional font algorithm used by:– GUI– DMS– IM

9:50 – 10:10 Break








GUI Changes OverviewGUI Changes Overview

The number of characters per line will be calculated and

accurately displayed in the GUI using a fixed-width font.

If preferred, DMSs using proportional fonts can use a proportional font in the display.

Operational Impact of ChangeOperational Impact of Change

Primarily involves administrative changes:

– Fonts:

• Define fonts

• Assign fonts to existing DMSs

– Templates:

• Define templates

• May assign templates to DMSs

• Any DMSs without assigned templates use defaults

Operator Map screens have no operational changes

IV&V Test PlanIV&V Test Plan

Test concept is to verify:

– The longest messages currently in the D4 library can be displayed as single phase messages using the enhanced SunGuide software.

– The requirements are satisfied.

FDOT D4 personnel to review, approve and witness the testing on-site at D4.

PBS&J will conduct the testing.


Requirements Test MatrixRequirements Test Matrix

Requirement (paraphrased) Test Method

TM001P – IM to use each DMS font characteristics to develop response plan.

Demonstration

DM005M - SunGuide software shall be able to either use proportional fonts that are user specified for each type of DMS or to use fixed width font

Demonstration

DM005M1: SunGuide shall require that font be assigned to each DMS device.

Use SunGuide to select each message from the list shown and verify it will display as a single phase message

These are the ten longest messages in the current D4 library.


Test Plan - LogisticsTest Plan - Logistics

No messages will be displayed on any DMS unless D4 chooses to do so

C2C test will require brief D6 cooperation.

IV&V testing will commence after enhanced SunGuide is installed and verified to be working correctly by SwRI

D4 will appoint a test observer and someone authorized to accept the software at D4.
