FAA TFM-AID Challenge Call for Proposals - GUI/UX Design Challenge

By Anonymous

 The FAA has released their call for proposals for the TFM-Aid Challenge, seeking designs for a proposed Graphical User Interface (GUI). Undergraduate and graduate students can apply on teams with a maximum of 10 students. Expressions of Interest are due October 30.


The FAA TFM-AID Challenge Call for Proposals:
$25,000 Grand Prize!
 
Through FAA's brand-new Traffic Flow Management - Application Integration Design (TFM-AID) Challenge, collegiate teams will prototype ideas for an interactive Graphical User Interface (GUI) design for FAA's new automation system, Flow Management Data and Services (FMDS). FMDS will soon replace the current Traffic Flow Management System (TFMS) in support of air traffic flow management across the National Airspace System (NAS).  
 
The FAA seeks GUI designs that support traffic managers in performing their jobs with a more streamlined and modernized interface than they have today. Proposed GUIs should be easy to use, thereby minimizing user training requirements.
 
Key FMDS functions that the GUI will need to support include: 
·    Monitoring the NAS for bottlenecks and constraints that will impact traffic flows (e.g., weather, high traffic volume, space launch/reentry operations).
·    Modeling and issuing Traffic Management Initiatives that modify traffic flows by changing aircraft routes, delaying aircraft on the ground, and/or increasing spacing between aircraft operating in the airspace.
·    Coordinating TMIs among FAA facilities and key airspace users.
·    Logging and communicating TMIs across facilities.
 
 
Students with the following interests or majors are encouraged to participate:
 
·    User Experience (UX)
·    Graphical User Interface (GUI) Design
·    Digital / Media / Web Communications
·    Systems Engineering
·    Computer Science
·    Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
·    Information Technology (IT)
·    Graphic / Web / Interactive Design
·    Digital Humanities
 
3 Easy Steps to Compete in the FAA TFM-AID Challenge:
 
1.   Form a Team and Submit an Expression of Interest by October 30, 2022
2.   Attend the Q&A Webinar on November 7, 2022 (optional, but highly encouraged)
3.   Prepare a Preliminary Design Review Package (PDR) and Submit by March 2, 2023
 
Based on a review of the PDR submissions, up to five (5) teams will be selected as finalists and invited submit a final Critical Design Review (CDR) package, and to present their GUI designs at the FAA TFM-AID Challenge Forum next June to compete for the $25,000 grand prize!
 
Eligibility is limited to U.S.-citizens and lawful permanent residents attending accredited U.S.-based colleges and universities for at least one semester (or quarterly equivalent) during the 2022-2023 academic year. Teams must be comprised of 2 - 10 members, and may include senior capstone students, clubs, multi-university teams, and/or interdisciplinary teams.
The FAA advocates for inclusion and diversity in all teams. Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) are encouraged to apply.
