User Interview Insights
User Requirement 1 ( Engine (ON/OFF) - Remotely )
In order to maximize the efficiency of the Truck, Drivers usually keep the engine running before they use it.
User Requirement 2 ( Control Doors of the truck )
The drivers usually end up forgetting where they left the key.
User Requirement 3 ( Control Lights of the Truck )
When the drivers get off the truck in the dark they cannot turn on the Lights just in case they need the Lights for some reason. They have to climb back into the cabin to switch it on.
User Requirement 4 ( Run Truck Diagnostics )
The Drivers run a diagnostic test on the truck to check if all aspects of the truck are functional and operating at the best capacity before starting any trip.
