Abstract This Test and Evaluation Plan describes the evaluation process of dual-view x-ray technology. While a conventional Rapiscan X-ray machine presents only a top-down view of passenger baggage, their Dual View system presents both a top-down and a side view. Screener performance with this additional view will be compared to performance with only the conventional top-down view. Measures of detection performance will be recorded, analyzed, and evaluated, in addition to usability issues. To acquire usability data, human factors engineers will assess the Dual View system from a technical perspective and screeners will answer questionnaires so the system can be assessed from a user's perspective. The results will be published in a test and evaluation report.
