UX Research
The spotlight of this study is on UX Research, with the goal to devise a solution addressing the issues faced by truck drivers in India at their work. The country has faced considerable accidents involving these truck drivers, leading to a significant loss of life.
For this project, the guidance was to concentrate on a less explored area or someone with special needs; thus, I decided to focus on India's truck drivers.
Problem statement
Accidents of truck drivers caused by sleepiness and fatigue leading to serious fatalities
Research 🔍
To understand why truck drivers face unique challenges, I compared engagement and compromises across all transportation sectors. This helped me identify key focus areas for the project. While all sectors show similar levels of engagement, the commercial sector (like truck drivers) tends to make more compromises than others.
Identifying
During interviews with users, one person mentioned they enjoy having mature plants and veggies at home. This made me consider creating an in-app store for selling gardening supplies.
I also included a section for reading interesting articles and gaining knowledge about plants.

Takeaways & learnings
In the beginning, I explored multiple ways to present my User Interface, but after gaining valuable insights, I decided to restart wireframing to ensure a more enjoyable user experience. I realized that organizing data could solve half the problems, so I stayed on top of it with sticky notes and folders, avoiding the maze of information.
Although I faced setbacks, I viewed them as learning experiences—each mistake taught me something new, and constant feedback from peers and mentors helped me uncover deeper UX issues. In the end, I pushed myself to stay confident in my decisions, always keeping the user's needs in mind.
