This report describes the evaluation of the Aviation Weather Research Products (AWRP) conducted by ACT-320 at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center from July 17 to August 25,1995. The AWRP software produces graphical aviation weather products specifically intended for use by non-meteorologists such as Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) Traffic Management Unit (TMU) Coordinators and Automated Flight Service Station Specialists (AFSS). The AWRP evaluation was conducted from a Human Factors, Meteorological, and System Administration perspective. The Human Factors portion of the evaluation assessed AWRP user system interface and the AWRP User's Guide in addition to determining the extent to which the AWRP met the job task and weather information needs of controllers and specialists. The Meteorological portion of the evaluation determined the amount of meteorological interpretation needed for the individual products, whether products showed improvement over existing operational products, and meteorological consistency within and between products. The System Administration portion of the evaluation addressed the usability and effectiveness of the AWRP installation and system management documents. Although the evaluation identified improvements over current systems, several additional improvements would have to be made to the AWRP in order to consider the products for potential incorporation into FAA systems. This document defines the areas needing improvement. |
