7. Signature Design Concept

Interactive Trucking Route Map

The homepage will feature an interactive trucking route map that allows users to visualize their insurance coverage across different routes. Users can click on various routes to see detailed insurance information, including coverage limits and active policies. The map will animate with smooth transitions as users explore different areas, providing an engaging and informative experience.

• Animations: Routes will highlight and animate as users hover over them, with smooth transitions between different coverage areas.
• Interactions: Clicking on a route will display a modal with detailed policy information and options to manage or file claims.
• Libraries: Utilize motion/react for animations and d3 for map visualizations.

LANDING HERO MOTION BRIEF

The landing hero will feature a dynamic illustration of a truck journeying across a map. As the truck moves, insurance coverage areas will light up, demonstrating the protection offered by the service. The animation will loop every 10 seconds, showing the truck's journey from start to finish, with coverage areas dynamically appearing and disappearing to illustrate active and inactive policies.

8. Interaction Model & Motion Direction

• Intended Interaction Model: Animated

  • The landing page will feature moderate scroll-triggered reveals and hover transitions to enhance user engagement.
  • Interactive elements will have spring physics for a polished feel.

• Internal Pages: Static

  • Focus on layout clarity and minimal motion for dashboards and settings pages.

9. Non-Functional Requirements

• The system must ensure data security and comply with industry regulations for insurance data handling.
• The system should be scalable to accommodate a growing number of users and policies.
