Abstract

The number of vehicles in Phuket is increasing, resulting in traffic congestion. In order to manage the traffic, not only the traditional resources such as police and traffic light will be used but also many technologies are defined and studied including the sensor, high speed camera and global positioning system (GPS). This research focuses on the visualization of car positioning graphic transformation, using GPS concept, proposed in the form of graphic user interface (GUI) of a traffic management system, called Traffic. Traffic has been created since the experiment cannot be proceeded in the real situation as well as to approve that the concept of indicating car positioning information by graphic visualization can support the traffic control decision for the purpose of traffic congestion decreasing. The evaluation was assessed by 30 police officers at a police station in Phuket town, regarding with observations, interviews and questionnaires. The results, including ease of use, terminology and system information, satisfaction, learning and system capabilities, show that user satisfaction is in the positive level. The visualization which represents the density of traffic, called Mini map, is defined as well supported information for the traffic management decision.
