UX design in remote vechicle control : Creation of usability guidelines for remote control station of vechicles using HTI methodology

Abstract

The following thesis is placed in the scope of the Remotely operated vehicle (ROV) technology. Using HCD (Human Centred Design) methodology and assessing the usability of the constructed technology, the thesis aimed at delivering the guidelines for ROV creation. Additionally, the tests verifying the eligibility of the Carla simulator technology for further study in the ROV area have been conducted. The structure consisted of interviews, data-driven tests, TAM questionnaire and the observation. The results: display the factors that shall be taken into account when designing the ROV station, imply the possibility of using Carla as a method in testing the human factor in ROV technology study, display the challenges resulting from the complexity of the system composition in ROV study and deliver the data that can be used for verification of safety in operation of ROV.
