Poor coordination between cockpit screens and physical controls

The same function appears in multiple places, making it difficult for users to develop consistent operating habits.

Research area: Vehicle cabins and mobility interfacesProblem identification → Design validation → Implementation

Three-step solution method

  1. Map how tasks are divided between screens and physical controls, and the conditions in which each is used.
  2. Align labels and status feedback, and clarify the primary purpose of each control.
  3. Use a cabin model to test whether tasks flow smoothly between controls.

Key Deliverables

  • Control responsibility matrix
  • Status guidelines
  • Cabin interaction prototype

Verification Approach

Compare conflicting controls, repeated actions and status confirmation.
