Real-time in-vehicle navigation is a significant traveler information service added to the TransGuide system during the Model Deployment Initiative (MDI). The TransGuide In-Vehicle Navigation (IVN) system includes an IVN unit that provides travelers with route guidance, vehicle position, and regional points of interest information. Units currently available on the market utilize a database of transit times for each road segment to calculate the shortest travel time from where the vehicle is located to a point the driver inputs as the destination. These databases are static, as they contain typical transit times that by definition cannot account for real-time congestion caused by traffic accidents, rush hours, public events, etc. The MDI implementation of IVN addresses this shortcoming by providing the units with real-time traffic data. The system includes the infrastructure necessary to deliver the real-time information to vehicles in the San Antonio area and the initial deployment of 590 IVN units that utilize the real-time traffic data. This Acceptance Test Plan (ATP) is developed to provide the acceptance criteria and tests for the In-Vehicle Navigation system of the Texas Department of Transportation Model Deployment Initiative. The basis for the development of this ATP document is the In-Vehicle Navigation System Model Deployment Initiative Design Document, Version 1.0. The ATP is developed for testing the components of the IVN system including the IVN Master Computer Software, Version 1.0. The IVN Master Computer Software is identified in the In-Vehicle Navigation System Model Deployment Initiative Version Description Document, Version 1.0. |
