In-vehicle interfaces lack clear distinctions between user roles

Controls for drivers, passengers and fleet managers are combined in a single interface.

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

Three-step solution method

  1. Identify each role’s tasks, permissions and information needs.
  2. Design clear entry points for each role and shared status indicators to reduce confusion over responsibilities.
  3. Run multi-role task simulations in a stationary vehicle.

Key Deliverables

  • Role-based task matrix
  • Permissions interface
  • Task testing records

Verification Approach

Check unauthorized actions, task handovers and understanding of status.
