About Journeylink Multi-voertuig Auto-infotainment
Journeylink is een auto-infotainmentsysteem dat multi-voertuig coördinatie ondersteunt voor groepsroadtrips. Door iteratieve lay-outtests werd een kaartgebaseerde UI geoptimaliseerd voor bestuurderstoegankelijkheid. Functies omvatten realtime locatiedeling, collaboratieve navigatie en spraakberichten. Een geprioriteerd meldingensysteem minimaliseert afleidingen door waarschuwingen weer te geven op basis van urgentie. Aanvullende tools zoals beeldopname en reisgeheugen ondersteunen interactieve maar veilige reiservaringen. Het ontwerp benadrukt informatiehiërarchie, toegankelijkheid en naadloze werking bij dynamische rijomstandigheden.

- Production Technology
- JourneyLink was developed using advanced HMI (Human Machine Interface) design principles, integrating V2V (Vehicle to Vehicle) communication technology for seamless multi vehicle coordination. The design process involved user research, prototyping, and iterative usability testing to refine interaction flows. Built for in car infotainment systems, it leverages cloud based real time data synchronization, ensuring reliable and intuitive user experiences.
- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge was designing a seamless V2V communication system that enhances multi vehicle coordination without distracting drivers. Balancing real time updates, safety alerts, and user friendly interaction was critical. Technical constraints included ensuring reliable data synchronization across different vehicle systems. Extensive user testing helped refine the interface, ensuring smooth operation while maintaining safety and engagement, ultimately making group travel more efficient and enjoyable.
- Research
- The research focused on enhancing multi vehicle travel coordination. Objectives included improving navigation, communication, and trip sharing. Methods involved secondary research, surveys (237 responses), and interviews with 10 road trip experts. Usability testing with 8 participants validated key features. Insights led to a user friendly V2V system that improves group travel efficiency, safety, and shared experiences, influencing both user engagement and the evolution of connected vehicle technology.
- Inspiration
- JourneyLink was inspired by the challenge of coordinating multi vehicle road trips for families and friends. Traditional navigation apps lack real time group coordination. By leveraging V2V communication, JourneyLink enables seamless route syncing, real time updates, and shared experiences, ensuring safer, more connected, and enjoyable road trips.
