Desktop Interface Design
Description: In your job to build the Maryland State Police Vehicle of Interest user interface, your first assignment will be to create a design document for the desktop part of the application. This will be used by users at the headquarters. Make sure to review the Vehicles of Interest Introduction document that outlines the major features of the application.
Your Assignment: Your assignment is to create a User Interface Design Document for this desktop part of the application. Take the template User Interface Design Template and complete it for your design. You are encourages to used Pencil GUI Designer for screen mockups.
Your design is expected to conform to good design standards. These were taught in SWEN 651 Usability Engineering.
Vehicles of Interest
Background: You are employed in the Information Technology department of the Maryland State Police. Your department is working on modernizing law enforcement duties.
You have been assigned to a project called Vehicles of Interest (VOI). There are many reason that law enforcement might be interested in identifying a Maryland registered vehicle. Some of the reasons are:
• Silver Alert - vehicle is associated to a missing elderly person.
• Amber Alert - vehicle is associated to a missing child.
• Stolen - vehicle has been report stolen.
• Arrest Warrant - the owner of the vehicle has an active arrest warrant.
After the program is deployed there might be additional reasons that need to be added.
Assignment: There are three general groups of users that all have special user interface needs.
• Headquarters - User's at the police headquarters receive all information about what vehicles are of interest to the police department. They will need to perform all functions of the system. They are centrally located at the headquarters and would like a desktop application.
• Police Departments from other States -Sometimes police departments from other states want to check (ie read-only) the vehicle list. This often happens after they arrest someone. This will be from their police station, which could be anywhere in the United States. They would like a web interface.
• Maryland State Troopers - Maryland State Troopers need access (ie read-only) to the list during traffic stops. They would like a mobile interface.
Throughout this course will be to design and develop the user interface for this application. In the course you will be given specific assignments as part of building this user interface system.
High Level Requirements: Here is a list of high level requirements.
• The system shall track the reason for interest. This wills start with values and descripts shown in the table above (Silver Alert, Amber Alert, etc). Headquarters can add, edit and delete this reasons. For reason for interest, it contains data for the reason and a description of the reason.
• The system shall track the vehicles of interest. Headquarters can add, edit and delete from this list. Police Departments from other States and Maryland State Troopers can read the list. For vehicle of interest, it contains data for license plate number, make, model, color, year manufactured, owners name and owners phone. Sometimes we don't know the year, color and owners information; so they are optional fields.
• The Headquarters users also have to keep up-to-date the list of vehicle makes and model.
• You should not build any type of login screen(s) or implement roles. You can assume that will be done by another develop once you have finished.
• If you have any additional questions about the requirements ask the faculty member.
