PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This contract involves the iterative development and evaluation of a smartphone application
(APP) for older drivers, specifically targeting the safety and mobility needs of individuals aged
65 and older. The work entails the translation of research findings into a functional software
prototype for both iOS and Android platforms.
The project scope encompasses the complete design lifecycle, including:
1) User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) Development: Creating wireframes and
iterative designs optimized for older drivers' cognitive and physical requirements, with
particular attention to aspects of distraction during the dynamic driving task.
2) Prototyping and Pilot Testing: Building a functional APP prototype and conducting
usability testing with a sample of older drivers.
3) Research Design: Developing a detailed Field Operational Test (FOT) framework,
including naturalistic driving protocols and regulatory documentation (e.g., IRB, ICR,
and PTA drafts), to support future performance assessments.
4) Technical Documentation: Producing comprehensive reports that detail design
methodology, testing outcomes, and recommendations for future iterations.
5) The Contractor is responsible for managing technical transition from initial wireframe
concept to a pilot-tested prototype ready for large-scale field evaluation.
