Context
Mainly composed of engineers, the Colas team devised a technology for pedestrian crossings that are illuminated when cars are detected: Flowell. They therefore wanted to tackle the issue of pedestrian detection.
Missions
Lead a workshop at Colas' offices to help them define technical solutions related to the constraints of pedestrian detection (detection, reactions, delay).
Support engineers in their search for complex technical solutions using the design process.
Realisations
Imagine all possible scenarios for crossing a pedestrian crossing.
Illustrate each situation clearly so that they can identify the appropriate technical solutions.
Print all UX tools dedicated to designing the experience (scenario, blueprint, empathy map...)
Support for decision-making when choosing the final technical solutions.
Challenges
Manage a team of engineers to use their technical expertise to develop a smart industrial product
What I learned
Prepare and support customers with technical skills but without product development processes
