- PostA digital platform for sharing assets within the culture sector(2019) Lindgren, Sara; Trens, Olle; Chalmers tekniska högskola / Institutionen för industri- och materialvetenskap; Tuveson, Jonas; Renström, SaraAbstract The sharing economy is on the rise and often promoted as a more sustainable alternative to existing linear consuming patterns. However, the sharing economy in Sweden is currently very small, and even though there are many small initiatives taken around the country, many of them are struggling with attracting users. One of them is the environmental organisation Returkultur, for which this study has been conducted. In this thesis, the design of a sharing service for the cultural sector in region Västra Götaland, and a digital platform facilitating it, is described. The aim of the study has been to understand how to encourage and increase the sharing of equipment and material within the cultural scene of Västra Götaland through a digital platform. The first part of the project, the pre-study, focuses on gathering data on the specific users and stakeholders. For qualitative data on the situation for cultural practitioners and organisations, 14 interviews have been conducted. For quantitative data on general attitudes and user patterns, surveys have been sent out to a large number of cultural practitioners, of which 35 responded. In order to relate requirements and requests to a digital platform specifically, workshops have been executed using a circular consumption design tool called “User experience exploration pack”, developed by researchers at the Department of Human Factors at Chalmers University of Technology. The tool help workshop participants to map and create circular user journeys, and foresee potential problematic areas. Based on the findings in the pre-study, design concepts were created and evaluated both theoretically and through user tests. Three concepts - one structured, one pedagogical and one social concept - were chosen for user testing and one final concept is described in the thesis. The study shows that informal sharing is already very common within the cultural sector. However, it also showed that sharing is a very complex social act where the willingness to share is dependent on things such as the situation, which product should be shared and the relation between the peers. Furthermore, all of these aspects are constantly shifting, which makes it hard to create a peer to peer service that would live up to the expectations of all stakeholders - borrowers, lenders, Returkultur and partners. Users were more interested in organised ways for sharing where they would not have to make as many travels, and where they would not have to feel guilt towards lenders. Thus, the proposed service is therefore a sharing hub with many similarities to a rental business, where the equipment and material is acquired through partnerships with big cultural institutions. For the digital platform, resemblance with similar types of platforms was also very important. The final design can be seen as a combination of a webshop and a hotel booking site - two concepts that many users are familiar with. The users also need a warm welcome, and plenty of information along the way as many users felt uncertain whether they were allowed to use the service. Together the service design and the design of the platform generated a pleasant user experience where users felt confident and inspired, hence encouraging and potentially increasing charing in region Västra Götaland.

- PostArtificial Intelligence to Improve Situation Awareness for AEW&C Operators(2021) Bung Tidblom, Julius; Jansson, Elias; Chalmers tekniska högskola / Institutionen för industri- och materialvetenskap; Bligård, Lars-Ola; Preijde, Marielle; Bång, Olivia; Bligård, Lars-OlaIn the Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) system, the operator needs to be vigilant, perform multiple tasks, communicate, and simultaneously handle different sources of information during a mission. The operator's main objective is to receive, interpret and distribute information and data provided by the AEW&C system to create a Recognized Air and Sea picture (RASP). The information is then used to, for example, perform fighter jet control and to detect anomalies. Increased capabilities of Command & Control (C2) systems and new threats in the environment make the operators’ tasks more extensive, complicated, and complex than ever before, which could potentially impair their Situation Awareness (SA) and in turn their decision making. The domain is associated with high risks and potentially devastating impacts of faulty decisions. Therefore, the importance of finding new technologies to facilitate SA cannot be neglected. The increasing technological sophistication regarding the rapidly growing adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers new possibilities for creating systems facilitating SA. This motivates conducting studies to explore and analyse the opportunities AI provides to facilitate SA for AEW&C operators, in particular critical roles as the Fighter Controller (FC) and Surveillance Operator (SO). This study aims to answer the questions of when and how AI could be implemented to facilitate SA. The questions were answered using a process adapting the research through design approach. The when-question was answered through system analysis, user studies, concept development and evaluations and the how-question were answered by creating guidelines through literature studies and affinity diagrams and testing the guidelines by applying them in the development and evaluation of concepts. The system was divided into four separate subsystems where goals, subjects, tools, and outcomes were specified. Seven categories of SA related challenges were identified for FC and six for the SO respectively. Four concepts were created for each role aiming to improve SA, where concepts of a talk-translation tool, a formation recognition tool, abnormality detection tool, and timeline tool were considered the most promising for further work. Guidelines for three phases in development of AI functions were developed: planning, designing, and evaluating. The guidelines confirmed the utility of design through research by being used to explore opportunities to implement AI, ideate and create concepts and evaluate them in an AEW&C context.

- PostBecoming the perfect partner: How to develop a car sharing service that satisfies the needs of the users, the stakeholders and possible future partners(2020) Snedsböl, Hanne; Chalmers tekniska högskola / Institutionen för industri- och materialvetenskap; Strömberg, Helena; Strömberg, HelenaToday’s society is too dependent on transportations by privately owned cars that it is no longer sustainable. One step to steer the development toward a sustainable future is to offer environmentally friendly alternatives as a replacement to the private owned car. GreenMotion is a rental company that strives to offer carsharing with the lowest possible climate impact. In 2018, they started their work to develop a rental concept where rental cars could be provided counterless through self-service in the Drive & Go application to the customer. This reduced the number of employees, company buildings and the time it takes the customer to rent a car. The concept was developed in-house by GreenMotion and was therefore in the need of an external analysis during the launch in Sweden 2020. Becoming the Perfect Partner is about exploring the carsharing market’s end-users, stakeholders and possible future partners in Sweden, getting to know their needs and requirements and with this as a basis find a balance between them and create the best possible carsharing service. This was done with a service design approach by using methods like actor map, netnography, literature review and interviews. Early in the project, interest arose regarding Mobility as a Service and the opportunities that a collaboration with such an actor could bring. Therefore, the project was directed to investigate how GreenMotion could become the perfect partner to MaaS. The project resulted in add-ons to the Drive & Go application, an improved customer journey of the service, suggested future partners, and insights into what factors that is required to participate in MaaS. The results found are largely in line with previous research on MaaS and was confirmed in the study. The thesis has also added knowledge about the difficulty for companies to maintain their corporate identity as a transport supplier to MaaS, and that a close interaction between the services is required to achieve a successful collaboration. In addition, the users have a need for a well-functioning “full service”, where everything from the usability of the application to how well the customer service works.
