摘要：	With the increasing popularity of home computers and the ease with which one can access the Internet, motorists can look up travel information from the comfort of their own home. Many states have some form of road condition advisory available on the Internet now. It seems like the perfect way of providing important information for the motorists, who can access it when they want, at relatively low cost. For a motorist to take advantage of this information, it must be current and relevant to the individual. Anytime these criteria are not met the user loses confidence in the system. For the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), it has been determined that a lack of time coupled with a complex data entry and retrieval system is a primary cause of this type of problem, non-current information. A literature review was conducted to determine the current practice in developing a data entry application of this type. The guidelines presented in this paper are summarized from the literature reviewed. Also, a survey was conducted of other state DOTs to determine how their road condition data entry systems operated and how the information is presented to the motorist. A survey of transportation individuals in the San Antonio district of TxDOT was also conducted to aid in the evaluation of the current system and to determine any specific needs they might have. This report contains guidelines for the development of a graphically based data entry system that is designed to save time and make road condition data entry easier. It is believed that with the aid of this new system, those responsible for entering the information will be able to do so more frequently, reducing the problem of non-current data. These guidelines are then used to develop a preliminary prototype that is compared with the current system.
