Abstract
The increase in the use of mobile phones in recent years has raised significant concerns regarding road safety, more specifically motorcycle accidents. Driver distraction caused by mobile phone use is a topic of great importance, given the negative impact on traffic safety and the occurrence of accidents. In this way, the design of optimized and strategically planned interfaces for electric motorcycle displays can play a crucial role in driver safety, minimizing distractions and, consequently, the risk of accidents. This paper proposes a systematic review of the literature on improving electric motorcycle displays in the context of mobile applications, exploring the best way for the display to become the only digital tool needed while driving, without causing distraction to the driver. To achieve this result, recent studies from the scientific literature were analyzed, highlighting the importance of a clean layout containing only relevant information to the visual elements. The interface structure should be easy to understand and recognize, with feedback always available so as not to overwhelm the user experience. Through the review, we studied how to improve the design of motorcycle displays and reduce the use of mobile phones while driving. The results were essential for us to understand that the usability of the interface is crucial for consistency in its structure, as well as the vocabulary, which must be coherent and in familiar language.

Abstract
With the recent surge in the electric vehicle market, there is a pressing demand for solutions and platforms to enhance vehicle lifecycle management. This is particularly pertinent for motorcycles, which are widely used in urban environments (e.g., for food delivery services) and require frequent maintenance. The present study proposes the research and development of a platform, along with mobile and web applications, focusing on optimizing the lifecycle of electric motorcycles. Central to this project is the implementation of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) to simplify the planning of technical maintenance and the recording and access to technical events and information in the most transparent and non-intrusive way for all involved parties. This project aims to establish innovative and effective communication between owners, manufacturers, and service partners, ensuring the longevity and reliability of motorcycles.
