Dynasync 2.0: Information Handling in trucks

Overview dynasyncresearch_14.JPG

With increasing digitization of information, can we simplify the lives of truck drivers by reducing their paperwork on their route? User studies in the current scenario pointed towards three main problems. There was too much paper in their job. There was too little personalization in their workplace. There were too many levels of hierarchy  within the system of information retrieval.

Dynasync 2.0 is intended to be an extension to the existing information handling system Dynafleet, by Volvo. Dynasync 2.0 is a system that combines wireless technology, RFID tags and electronic paper, synchronize data. This data synchronization takes place between 3 points :

1| A small computer inside the truck which the truck driver uses to view his route information
2| The main server of the delivering company and
3| the Dynsync device which the driver carries around with him outside the truck to scan delivered goods and retrieve signatures from customers.

 

Dynasync 2.0 works in 4 simple steps:

1| At the start of the day it synchronises the driver's route information from the main server and uploads it into the truck's computer.

2| During a delivery, the driver uses Dynasync to scan delivered goods. This information is synchronized with the computer in the truck.

3| When the driver receives a signature on Dynasync, the signature is wirelessly uploaded to the system inside the truck.

4| At the end of the day, all the route information is uploaded into the main server in the office. No paper, no more hierarchy of transferring information....

This project aims to improve the quality of their professional lives as far as document handling is concerned, and make their task easier.

 
  • The Final Concept

    The Final Concept (12)

    How does Dynasync 2.0 work in concept? How do the users interact with the system? Check out this section to walk through a the idea of Dynasync 2.0 and a possible scenario.
     
  • Research and User Studies

    Research and User Studies (18)

    In this section you will find a storyboard of images to walk you through the current scenario. Using basic ethnographic tools such as video, still photography and interviews, the activities of 3 truck drivers was captured. This was followed by an indepth analysis of these activities to draw conclusions of about problems and needs.
     
  • Research Conclusions

    Research Conclusions (3)

    Research pointed towards the fact that there were far more documents that the truck driver had to carry around with him than he required. The only times that he accessed the documents was when he required a signature from the customer. Do customers really need an invoice nowadays when all information can be accessed online? Does the truck driver have to carry around a bunch of similar documents to receieve signatures from customers?
     
  • Technologies and inspirations

    Technologies and inspirations (9)

    A combination of e-paper, biometrics, wireles technology, RFID tags, realtime data synchronization, and the idea of a USB key. What if the truck drivers could wirelessly obtain their route and delivery information in a device as small as a USB key? What if this USB key could contain a scroll of Epaper to refresh millions of customer signatures and be able to transfer this information instantly to a main computer? Check this section for complete description of the technologies and inspirations behind the final concept.
