Drivr is a rapidly expanding personal chauffeur service which commands a fleet of Tesla Model-S vehicles but previously lacked a consolidated system for logistical planning and execution. To solve this problem, I designed front-end interfaces for both drivers and dispatchers in addition to a back-end database by following the user-centered design process. For drivers, I utilized the Tesla’s 17-inch screen in the dashboard to design a low-cost solution which runs in the vehicles’ browser. For dispatchers, I designed a web interface which provides a number of much needed flexibility options. Testing has proven that this system will not only improve the capacity of Drivr to provide superior service, but because it is so much more efficient, effective, and satisfying to use, stakeholders, dispatchers, and drivers alike expect the new system to make Drivr an even better place to work.
