Overview
The Telematics Mobile Prototype redesigned an existing web-based telematics interface into a mobile-first experience for internal research teams conducting on-road vehicle studies. As UX Lead, I translated desktop workflows into mobile-optimized patterns that support quick access to vehicle data and event details while researchers are in the field, enabling faster decision-making during active tests.
Who is this product for?
Internal research teams at Leidos who conduct vehicle studies and need to monitor telematics data, check event details, and make operational decisions while on the road. These users require mobile access to data that was previously only available on desktop systems.
Goals
- Provide mobile-first access to vehicle and event data for on-the-go research teams
- Support field decision-making with clear information hierarchy and quick actions
- Reduce navigation friction by simplifying desktop workflows for mobile contexts
- Maintain terminology consistency with the existing web platform for familiarity
- Enable quick scanning of vehicle status and event details on small screens
Why is this needed?
The desktop-only telematics interface didn't support on-the-go research workflows. During active vehicle studies, teams needed to check data quickly in the field but were forced to use desktop-first navigation, dense tables, and multi-step actions that weren't optimized for mobile. This created friction and slowed down operational decisions during time-sensitive research sessions.
What did I work on?
- Mobile UI redesign that prioritized "what to do next" for field use
- Information hierarchy adjustments to surface critical data on smaller screens
- Mobile interaction patterns that reduced taps for common workflows
- Conversion of dense desktop tables into scan-friendly mobile layouts
- High-fidelity prototype demonstrating mobile-optimized telematics workflows
- Design documentation for potential development handoff
Who'd I work with?
I collaborated with the research team to understand field workflows and data priorities, product stakeholders to define scope and requirements for the mobile redesign, and engineering to validate technical feasibility of the proposed mobile patterns.
Impact
Created a mobile prototype concept that demonstrates how telematics workflows can support on-the-go research. The redesign reframed event and unit management for smaller screens with clearer hierarchy and actions, and defined a mobile structure that can scale to dashboards and vehicle data views. The prototype provides a foundation for future mobile development to improve field data access.
