Cabin storage does not accommodate everyday belongings

Phones, cups and small items lack dedicated places and must be moved repeatedly during use.

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

Three-step solution method

  1. Document what users carry, the order in which they access items and how they place them.
  2. Compare storage dimensions, adjustable dividers and placement cues.
  3. Test stowing, retrieval and hand-offs between occupants using real belongings.

Key Deliverables

  • Item Inventory
  • Storage Layout
  • Experience Prototype

Verification Approach

Observe reaching motions, misplacement and use of space.
