UX Cabin established a visual direction that seamlessly blended into a truck’s dashboard.
• Provide clear visual cues for interactive elements.
• Make it feel analog.
• Prioritize truck driver safety.
We went through many design iterations testing out different visual design styles, controls, knobs that would look right while also providing the best user experience.
Calibrate the power and boost controls from your cell phone. Making this feature interact via bluetooth keeps drivers in the car rather than adjusting settings on their cargo management products.
We created a component guide for the major elements used within the app. This was useful for designers reference of styles, spacing, elements, and reusable components.
Adding a cargo device to your account is as simple as answering a few questions about your product and pairing it with your phone.
• Store numerous training settings.
• Calibrate power and boost settings.
• Switch between timed and proportional breaking.
• Receive alerts for any fault conditions in real time.
We were able to create a digital experience for users while maintaining safety as the number one priority. Users can now control physical cargo products from their smartphone.
