本研究乃針對台北捷運自動收費系統驗票閘門性能，成功地在微軟視窗98工作平台上發展出一強有力且具人性化操作界面的電腦輔助測試系統。這套電腦輔助測試系統包括了前置處理器、資料分析器與資料詮釋器、後置處理器等次系統以及使用者界面。在本論文中，已針對前置處理系統的基本設計概念及後置處理系統的發展作完整的介紹。前置處理器可提供十分友善的操作介面，透過圖片的呈現與解說，讓使用者能夠很清楚地瞭解台北捷運自動收費系統之功能及其相關的設備；此前置處理器亦可同時對控制模組與驗票機的通訊資料作擷取儲存的動作。在研究中亦完成測試驗票閘門性能與資料擷取所需之實驗裝置的建立與改善。為了化簡分析所擷取之原始通訊資料，經由本研究開發出之分析器處理後則能獲得最佳化之分析資料﹔此最佳化資料可再與本研究開發出之資料詮釋器之內建資料庫作比對與處理。本研究開發出之後置處理器則可動態地展示出控制模組與驗票機之間通訊的訊息並記錄之。因此，在研究中更進一步地整合上述前置處理器、資料分析器與資料詮釋器、後置處理器等次系統以及使用者界面，而成一套具人性化操作界面之電腦輔助測試系統。
最後，應用此開發出之電腦輔助測試系統從事控制模組與驗票機之五個不同的運作模式應用範例探討，結果皆驗證了此電腦輔助測試系統應用在自動收費系統驗票閘門性能測試上的優越性。

A powerful user-friendliness computer-aided testing system of gate performance for Automatic Fare Collection in Taipei Rapid Transit System has been successfully developed on Microsoft Windows98 system. The computer-aided testing system consists of the pre-processor subsystem, data analyzer and interpreter, post-processor subsystem and user interfaces. The fundamental design concept for the per-processor and post-processor development is introduced; an improved experimental setup for acquiring data stream of gate performance testing is also established. With the present developed computer-aided testing system, the gate performance testing between the UTM board and the ticket transport for five different modes has been explored. The superiority of this computer-aided testing system of gate performance for AFC system has been demonstrated in the study.
