Home / Operator interfaces
For mobility product and engineering teamsA live feed needs an operator workflow.
For highways, asset-management and control-room teams as well as mobility product groups: We build the front-end module around an existing transport feed: map context, current status, event detail and the action an operator can take next. It fits your product, API and repository.
From incoming message to informed action
We design around the questions an operator must answer, not around a list of chart components.
What happened?
Show the event type, source, status and time without forcing the user to decode the feed.
Where is it?
Connect the message to a road, intersection, unit or selected area on the map.
Is it current?
Make freshness, missing data, errors and changing states visible in the interface.
What next?
Open detail, filter related events or pass the finding into the agreed operational workflow.
Use the platform you already have when it fits.
A custom interface earns its place when an operator must do more than inspect a map. We help define that boundary before quoting a build.
Configure a GIS dashboard
If your team needs a map, status indicators, filters and charts on existing GIS data, start with your current platform. ArcGIS Dashboards and CARTO Builder already cover much of this ground.
Use a traffic operations system
If you need network-wide traffic forecasting, simulation or automated control, evaluate a full traffic platform such as PTV Optima. We can scope a user-facing module beside an existing platform, but we do not supply its modelling engine.
Build a defined operator workflow
Choose a custom module when the task crosses your feeds, roles and application states: locate an event, judge its freshness, inspect detail and hand off an action. That is the front-end boundary we design and implement in your product.
These are examples of available approaches, based on the vendors' published capabilities. Fit depends on your data, licenses, users and integration constraints.
What we can take on
Information architecture, interaction design and Angular map and data views. Depending on the agreed scope, that can include OpenLayers or Leaflet, WebSocket or polling updates, filters, charts, detail panels, and accessible keyboard paths.
Our SWARCO work includes C-ITS message views for CAM, DENM, SPAT and IVI. The case study shows the actual front-end contribution and its limits.

What makes the scope quotable
- A named operator and the decision or task the screen supports
- A documented feed or API, sample events and their meanings
- The existing product, design system and access constraints
- A test environment, reviewer and written acceptance criteria
A redacted schema is enough for an initial conversation. We can sign an NDA before reviewing non-public data.
Review the behaviour, not just the screen.
Event and state contract
Map fields, timestamps, refresh behaviour and the empty, stale and error states agreed with the feed owner. See the event-contract note ↗
Operator acceptance paths
Checks for locating, filtering, inspecting and handing off an event, including keyboard paths and the agreed accessibility target.
Code and limits
Reviewed code in your repository, tests for the agreed flows, setup notes and a list of assumptions that still belong to the platform team.
Built inside your system
We deliver the agreed front-end work in your repository, with tests and handover. Your team remains the owner of the traffic engine, feed generation, hosting, permissions and operating process unless a separate scope assigns any of those tasks.
Start with one workflow
A useful first brief names one feed, one operator and one decision. We can return a short interface boundary, risks and acceptance questions before a full proposal.
