Proportional Fonts Design Review

5. SunGuideSM Software Architecture
Proportional Fonts Design Review

6. Concept 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.
Proportional Fonts Design Review

7. Concept 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.
Proportional Fonts Design Review

8. Concept 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.

Proportional Fonts Design Review

10. Design 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

12. GUI 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.

28. Operational 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

30. IV&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.
Proportional Fonts Design Review

31. Requirements 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
DM005M1: SunGuide shall require that font be assigned to each DMS device.
DM005M2:  SunGuide shall horizontally center all lines on the sign

Requirement (paraphrased)
Test Method
DM005M3: SunGuide shall allow a user to define a font for each type of DMS in use.
Demonstration
DM005M4: DMS shall use each device's font characteristics to determine whether a message can be displayed.
DM005M5: The SunGuide GUI in all operator viewable screens shall show the correct number of characters per line.
DM005M6: SunGuide shall provide a minimum of one (1) and no more than three (3) message templates for each DMS device.
Test
DM016M1: SunGuide shall publish the max number of characters per line for each DMS in the inventory information sent through C2C.

33. General Test T1RLTPCOMM07 T1RLTPGRIFF14
These are the ten longest messages in the current D4 library.
T1RLTPCOMM07
T1RLTPGRIFF14
T1RLTPGRIFF15
T1RLTPGRIFF16
T1RLTPHOLL07
T1RLTPHOLL08
T1RLTPHOLL23
T1RLTPSAMP06
T3RLTPCOMM07
T3RLTPGRIFF14
Use SunGuide to select each message from the list shown and verify it will display as a single phase message
Proportional Fonts Design Review

34. Test 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.
