Project Goal

Construction workers are facing a wide range of occupational safety hazards. SafeAI retrofits heavy equipments with autonomous technology and designs autonomous Management System(AMS) to support the autonomous solution.

An autonomous construction vehicle alongside its route and equipment monitoring interface.

Potential Solutions

  • Map provides real-time execution & monitoring of autonomous operations.
  • Assignment board for user to monitor the assignment progress through an interactive dispatch console.
  • Admin page to manage all the autonomous assets.
  • Visual Dashboard allows a user to view critical KPIs for a construction site.

Design Considerations

Visualization of Map Layout

The card layout on the map page could be very important. The challenge here is that we don't want the information cards to block the view but still provide enough information. The exercise here is to explore, design, iterate, and then find a good solution.

Visualization of Map Layout — design exploration 1.

Enhancing the Assignment Card Interaction

The assignment dispatcher interacts with the assignment cards almost every day. Clearly written information on these small cards is essential. The dispatchers should be able to easily check the associated equipment and details of an assignment if they want to know whether an assignment is incorrect.

Localization

SafeAI has customers/partners in Japan and Australia. That's the reason why localization becomes so important. To design a global product, I should include the switch of the language, consider the habit of people locally, and understand the unit that people from different countries are using.

Prototype

Purpose:

  • To explore the color usage of zone, road, and equipment mode
  • To check the interaction of the autonomous assets on a site
  • To validate the way I visualize the metadata of real-time monitoring

Development Process

It is essential to consistently reflect on the aspects of the process that require enhancement.
