RITravel: Interactive Kiosk
Designed for students navigating trips home and campus breaks, RITravel is a proposed interactive kiosk that supports safer, more connected travel. The system translates complex logistics into an intuitive flow, allowing users to quickly find travel buddies and explore shared routes. The tested final prototype achieved a 90% safety rating and a 100% usefulness score from student participants.

Project Type:
UX/UI & Product Design
Role:
Interaction/System Designer
Tools:
Adobe Creative Suite (Ai, Ps), Figma
Timeline:
9 Weeks
01
The Challenge
Students can struggle to coordinate long-distance travel logistics, especially those without cars or those traveling solo for the first time, and existing tools like Whatsapp are fragmented and lack the safety features needed for secure student travel.
Fragmented Coordination: Travel info is buried in chaotic group chats.
Safety Concerns: Solo journeys can be stressful and isolating without verified peers.
Diverse Needs: Nearly half of RIT students live off-campus or out-of-state, making reliable travel a constant necessity.
02
Design Strategy
I designed a centralized, touch-screen interface that prioritizes speed and user safety. By analyzing existing transit systems and airline apps, I created a flow that allows students to match and connect with prospective travel matches in under 10 minutes.
Guided Walkthroughs: Simplified complex logistics into a step-by-step interactive flow.
Visual Clarity: Used real-time map transitions and familiar transit-inspired UI patterns.
Interactive Testing: Built and iterated on a high-fidelity Figma prototype to simulate a live kiosk experience.
03
Results & Impact
In-person user testing validated that students felt significantly more confident in the safety and efficiency of the proposed system.
90% Safety Rating: Participants reported they would feel safer meeting travel partners through the kiosk.
100% Usefulness: Every tester found the "Find a Travel Buddy" feature essential for their needs.
Validated UI: 88% of users gave the visual design a perfect 5/5 score for clarity and appeal.
