Description
PROJECT DESCRIPTION This contract involves the iterative development and evaluation of a smartphone application (APP) for older drivers, specifically targeting the safety and mobility needs of individuals aged 65 and older. The work entails the translation of research findings into a functional software prototype for both iOS and Android platforms. The project scope encompasses the complete design lifecycle, including: 1) User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) Development: Creating wireframes and iterative designs optimized for older drivers' cognitive and physical requirements, with particular attention to aspects of distraction during the dynamic driving task. 2) Prototyping and Pilot Testing: Building a functional APP prototype and conducting usability testing with a sample of older drivers. 3) Research Design: Developing a detailed Field Operational Test (FOT) framework, including naturalistic driving protocols and regulatory documentation (e.g., IRB, ICR, and PTA drafts), to support future performance assessments. 4) Technical Documentation: Producing comprehensive reports that detail design methodology, testing outcomes, and recommendations for future iterations. 5) The Contractor is responsible for managing technical transition from initial wireframe concept to a pilot-tested prototype ready for large-scale field evaluation.
