About SkyGrid Comhéadan Bainistíochta Feithicle Aeir

Is comhéadan úsáideora é SkyGrid atá deartha chun feithiclí aeir uathrialaitheacha a bhainistiú. Ligeann an comhéadan d'oibreoirí eitilte eitiltí a chruthú, a phleanáil agus a mhonatóireacht ó scáileán amháin. Cuirtear sonraí eitilte, comhshaoil agus rialála le chéile chun léargas iomlán a thabhairt ar an aerspás i bhfíor-am. Léirítear coinníollacha ceantair, coinníollacha feithicle agus stádais rialála le chéile, ionas gur féidir an bealach is oiriúnaí a roghnú do gach oibríocht. Tá an dearadh beartaithe le húsáid ar scáileáin deisce agus táibléid. Threoraigh taighde le píolótaí agus aiseolas úsáideoirí leagan amach an deais.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties
Co-founded by Boeing and Austin-based AI company SparkCognition, SkyGrid aims to enable autonomous aerial traffic operations, by using AI to enable self-regulated aerial traffic. For flight operators, I created the product experience that enable seamless flight creations and management. In detail, the product provides flight, environmental, and regulatory data, to the user, to give a complete picture of the airspace.
Dimensions & Packaging
This product experience is meant to be used on desktops and tablets. For desktops, the standard dimension in the industry is 1920" x 1080". For tablets, sizes may vary. But a common tablet size is 1280" x 800".

Production Technology
This product design included doing research on what a drone pilot would need while flying aerial vehicles. User feedbacks were also gathered with existing users of our product to get insights into what features our users appreciate, and where they have struggles, to improve our product experience.
Design Challenge
The hardest part was understanding what features should be the most prominent for a pilot, and which features does a pilot need to look at during a specific part of the flight creation and on-flight process.
Research
Several tools were used to obtain user feedbacks from our product users. We gathered user feedbacks daily from several channels, such as Apple app store reviews, Zendesk, Facebook, Youtube comments, etc. I grouped these feedbacks into categories, then consolidated them into a report. From the report, I understood what were the biggest concerns our users had, and what were they satisfied by. I then used these feedbacks to determine what were the priorities in improving product functions.
Inspiration
The product design was inspired by current software used by air traffic control staff. Looking at the air traffic control experience allowed me to understand what struggles the staff have. Video game dashboards were also examined to get inspirations on how to create the most efficient dashboard.
Project Duration
This project started in June 2019, in Austin, Texas, USA. The project is still ongoing.
Operation Flow
What makes SkyGrid a superb aerial operation product is its ability to give the pilot a complete picture of the airspace in real time, including area conditions, vehicle conditions, and regulatory statuses. The user is able to choose the most optimized route for a specific operation based on the complete aerial picture in detail and in real time.
