Towards an approach integrating various levels of data analytics to exploit product-usage information in product development

By applying data analytics to product usage information (PUI) from combinations of different channels, companies can get a more complete picture of their products' and services' Mid-Of-Life. All data, which is gathered within the usage phase of a product and which relates to a more comprehensive understanding of the usability of the product...

Simulation of Product Performance Based on Real Product-Usage Information: First Results of Practical Application to Domestic Refrigerators

Today’s connected products increasingly allow us to collect and analyze information on how they are actually used. An engineering activity where usage data can prove particularly useful, and be converted to actionable engineering knowledge, is simulation: user behavior is often hard to model, and collected data representing real user...

The effects of time pressure on driver performance and physiological activity: A driving simulator study

Speeding because of time pressure is a leading contributor to traffic accidents. Previous research indicates that people respond to time pressure through increased physiological activity and by adapting their task strategy in order to mitigate task demands. In the present driving simulator study, we investigated effects of time pressure on...
