DESIGN NAME: Speed Guard
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Dashboard
INSPIRATION: GPS positioning has been able to turn a lot of road information into concrete cues. Whether there is a speedometer to help people have instinctive reaction?
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This speedometer alerts the driver when the speed limit is breached via a colored display. Speed Guard is a new vehicle speedometer that clearly indicates when the car has exceeded the speed limit. GPS readings detect the position of the car and the speed limit of that particular road. When the speedometer's needle passes the speed limit, the excess area covered by the needle will be illuminated with red light. Speed Guard is a non-invasive but easily detectable alert system for drivers.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The dashboard changes color when our car exceeds the limit speed.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: 2012 Red Dot Award, best of the best
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Vehicle, Mobility and Transportation Design

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This is a micro design based on the theory of Affordance. People usually concern about the dynamic red. This can help people form good habits by inducing fear of irregularities in their instincts.
CHALLENGE: How to make it happen.
