Abstract Previous literature reported that Participatory Design (PD) results in satisfying products and presents other subjective benefits. PD implies an active involvement of users during all steps of the design process, including during concepts specification (contrary to user-centered design, UCD). This study compared the usability and acceptance of truck dashboards resulting either from a PD or from a UCD design processes. Moreover, design concepts from two PD approaches were compared: a collective versus an individual design session. Results showed that concepts resulting from user-centered design and individual design sessions were perceived as more useable and accepted than the concept resulting from the participatory workshop. These findings question PD benefits and encourage to further explore the different PD approaches in the industrial development of truck dashboards.

驾驶员设计的卡车仪表板的可用性和接受度：与以用户为中心的设计相比的两种参与式设计方法

摘要 先前的文献报道，参与式设计 (PD) 会产生令人满意的产品并带来其他主观利益。PD 意味着用户在设计过程的所有步骤中的积极参与，包括在概念规范期间（与以用户为中心的设计相反，UCD）。本研究比较了由 PD 或 UCD 设计过程产生的卡车仪表板的可用性和接受度。此外，还比较了两种 PD 方法的设计概念：集体设计会议与个人设计会议。结果表明，以用户为中心的设计和个人设计会议产生的概念比参与式研讨会产生的概念更有用和更容易接受。
