DeliverKey.
Modular home package delivery system
& mobile app design.
Note: This is an ongoing senior year design project. Displayed is one iteration of the design progress.
The Problem:
How can home delivered packages be kept safe from theft while also integrating with the design of the home?
Research.
Porch Piracy.
As more people turn to ecommerce and online shopping, porch piracy has seen a large increase as well.
In 2021…
49 million Americans have had at least one package stolen from their doorstep.
An estimated $2.4 billion worth of goods has been stolen.
Why are these thefts happening?
Crime of Opportunity.
Porch Piracy is a “Crime of Opportunity”.
This means when a certain situation arises, it is taken advantage of. Thieves see a package on someone’s doorstep and nobody is around to stop them, so they feel impulsed to take it.
This affects all neighborhoods.
Security cameras and smart doorbells may deter thefts but it doesn’t actually stop them from happening.
Key Insights.
