App UI Design

The UI design for the app has to be kept simple, straight-forward, intuitive and easy to use. This is in consideration of the fact that the end-user, the truck driver, should not be bothered too much. In addition, the demographics of Australian truck drivers show the majority to be 40's and above. Being true to this, the following are the suggested screens:


This is the screen when the app is started. It is quite simple to use: there is only a toggle switch to turn wait recording on or off.

Once the wait recording is turn on, the screen is updated to reflect the current state of the app. It will just remain as simple as this one until the app is closed.

This screen is a notification screen, as when the user is being prompted to confirm whether the location change noted means that the wait has been terminated and the truck is ready to hit the road OR that the wait continues, the noted location change is just due to a huge enough area that speeding up to driving speed may be possible.
