Developing a Smartphone APP to Enhance Older Driver Safety
This contract covers iterative development and evaluation of an iOS and Android smartphone app for older drivers aged 65+, focused on safety and mobility. The work includes UI/UX design optimized for older drivers’ cognitive and physical needs, especially distraction during driving. It also involves building a functional prototype, conducting usability testing with older drivers, and developing a Field Operational Test framework with naturalistic driving protocols and regulatory drafts. The contractor must produce technical documentation and reports on design methodology, testing outcomes, and future recommendations. The contractor also manages technical transition from initial wireframes to a pilot-tested prototype ready for large-scale field evaluation.
