There is a direct need in industry to improve the in-production vehicle inspection process and to support mobility for inspection stations. In this paper we present a novel interface design implemented on three multi-modal prototype systems, in which design was based on results from an initial field study we conducted. The design of these systems incorporate two main objectives: 1) enforce a systematic check on each of the items on the list to reduce missed items and 2) facilitate mobility in that the tools used to assist in inspection can be installed at one area and then later easily moved to another area. Our novel graphical software interface aims to enforce systematic checks through incorporation of a system-directed delivery of the checklist items with options for error correction and support of dynamic inspection, where items identified for inspection may differ among checkpoints. We have designed three hardware configurations that support our interface, with aims to achieve mobility from one inspection area to another, leave both hands free for inspection, and incorporate a more convenient way to refer to the list while conducting an inspection. This paper additionally presents preliminary feedback and suggestions for improvement from a pilot study conducted on our interface implemented on three hardware configurations. In the future we plan to incorporate the suggestions from the pilot study and to conduct a more formal evaluation on our multi-modal systems.

A proposed military standard was developed that establishes and defines the methodology to incorporate the use of rapid prototyping of operator/maintainer machine interface design into the system design process. The specification includes the work to be accomplished by the contractor or subcontractor in prototyping interfaces and evaluating those interfaces under operationally equivalent conditions. The tasks outlined provide the basis for defining, integrating and validating operator interface prototyping methodologies, as well as the software interface. Two data item descriptions were also developed; Rapid Prototyping Program Plan, and Rapid Prototyping Design Approach Document. The Rapid Prototyping Program Plan is the single document which describes the contractor's entire system prototype engineering program, identifies its elements, and explains how the elements will be managed. The Rapid Prototyping Design Approach Document provides a source of data with which to evaluate the extent to which the rapid prototyping design meets system engineering requirements and other human engineering criteria. This paper presents the main topics from the proposed standard.
