Production Technology: Departing from conventional fixed route shuttle models, Igo employs advanced intelligent algorithms to match passengers travelling to nearby destinations, optimizing vehicle occupancy rates. To further enhance social inclusivity and economic mobility, Igo innovatively integrates job recommendations along routes, helping commuters discover employment opportunities. It also features voice controlled emergency alarms, one click 911 dialling, and trip sharing to boost nighttime commuting safety.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge was making Igo accessible to low income groups with limited access to technology. Social barriers like digital literacy and economic constraints made usability a key focus. Through research, Igo was designed with a simple intuitive interface and an optimized onboarding process. External challenges included adapting to existing transit laws and integrating real time data. Overcoming these obstacles ensured a seamless affordable and inclusive mobility solution.
Research: Igo research focused on urban transportation equity for low income communities in Los Angeles, aiming to identify commuting challenges and improve mobility solutions. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, researchers conducted 50 surveys and 10 interviews. The findings highlighted long commutes, high costs, and safety concerns. These insights guided the development of optimized routes, real time tracking, and job integration, creating a more accessible, efficient, and opportunity driven transit system.
Inspiration: Inspired by the integration of sharing economy principles with smart transportation, Igo combines the strengths of Uber carpooling model with public transit systems to create a low cost high coverage smart shuttle service. The theme of Igo is Equal Mobility Sharing the Future focusing on breaking down traditional transportation barriers to offer affordable reliable efficient and convenient shared shuttle services for low income communities thereby improving urban mobility equity.
Project Duration: Designed and developed from January to April 2023.
Operation Flow: The User Interface design of Igo is clean and intuitive, using green as the primary colour with black and white accents to emphasize sustainability and convey professionalism. Modular layouts and optimized visual flow enable users to easily access core functions like booking, route inquiries, and safety alerts, minimizing the learning curve. Additionally, intelligent interactions such as simple onboarding, smart icons, and route visualization maps ensure a smooth and convenient user experience.
