We are conducting a 60 minute research interview to better understand how professionals design, specify, and operate radio control systems used in heavy equipment. The study will explore user interaction with handheld and console-based controls, including buttons, joysticks, triggers, haptics, displays, and other interface features across various equipment applications.
Participants will be asked to take part in a one-on-one virtual interview discussing their experience with equipment such as cranes, aerial buckets, boom trucks, vacuum trucks, construction machinery, vertical drilling machines, and tow trucks. We are interested in perspectives from both OEM professionals and end users working in industries such as electric utilities, communication utilities (fiber installation), commercial concrete, paving, mobile crane operations, and ground-based oil and gas.
The study is designed for engineers, designers, product managers, controls engineers, sourcing professionals, operators, linemen, and technicians who regularly interact with radio control systems. We are seeking individuals based in the United States or Canada who are comfortable speaking in detail about their experience and equipment use.
The researcher may follow up via message, email, or phone to confirm if you're a fit for the study. Be sure to answer!
