Transportation

HumanCentric has been improving cabin interiors for the transportation domain for over a decade. Examples of our work range from empirical studies of driver behavior to creating concepts for developmental vehicle interior systems. Transportation projects are typically complex in that they deal with a variety of user issues that must all be solved because operator safety is the primary concern. From compliance with government and agency regulations to the graphic design and usability testing of vehicle displays and controls, HumanCentric has a diverse and experienced background working with various sectors of the transportation industry.

The transportation industry is highly competitive and widely diverse. It faces unique challenges with respect to the human factors of a driver and the importance of interior styling.

• Compliance with ISO standards and AAM guidelines
