Towards ergonomic guidelines integration within graphical interface controls for the evaluation of the interactive system Application to a transport network Information Support System

Abstract

In this paper, a new approach for interactive system evaluation is presented. It is based on the ergonomic guidelines integration within Graphical User Interface (GUI) controls. These controls provide assistance to the evaluator for the interfaces design according to a set of ergonomic guidelines. The controls use is proposed for both the evaluators and the developers. The proposed approach is based on the fact that when creating a graphical component (when adding it to the interface), it inspects a set of ergonomic criteria and verifies the GUI compliance with these criteria. The advantage of the suggested proposal consists essentially on its easiness to provide ergonomic guidelines validation when designing a GUI. To validate our approach, we propose in this paper, an application on a transport network supervision system and more particularly to an Information Assistance System for passenger.
