Minimalistisk Cruise Control

Abstract

Cruise Control and its associated functions are essential tools for modern truck drivers, particularly during long-distance hauls. This project aims to make the use of the Cruise Control system more attractive for both experienced and novice drivers by developing a minimalist and less complex user interface. The final result is based on the insights and identified requirements obtained through user studies, supported by theories and principles in usability and user-centered design. It can be concluded that there is a significant need for the interface to be intuitive enough for drivers to navigate during first use, and the system’s functions must be clearly defined. The final product is therefore characterized by clear system structure and direct interaction pathways. Based on the work conducted, conclusions can be drawn regarding learning, interaction design, and driver needs.
