Sketches Development and Brainstorming

Brainstorming on Design Idea 1

In this mahjong paper, we wrote down all the result of our research and analyzed it to start with the design idea. 

Many of the elderly complained about the estimate waiting time for bus is very long. The seats are not enough, and much more. 

Before we start to designing something, we start with this method :

We start to ask questions from the micro ( small ) things e.g. how often do you travel by public transportation?

After that, we go to macro ( bigger ) question e.g. which transportation do you take? Do you find any difficulty while taking public transportation?

After we interviewed the interviewee we know their responses and start thinking about the solution. 

1. First Idea :

Regarding  their responses of a long waiting time for a bus, we have an idea to expand the idea of "Priority Queue" that has been provided by LTA in bus interchange. But in our design, we added something different on it. We designed special seats for the elderly and  priority passenger. We also added bus estimate time on every bus stops in Singapore. 

This design is to provide elderly and other priority passengers to be the first who get into the bus. So they can have a seat first before the other passengers. 

2. Second Idea

Our second idea is a Wheelchair Accessible Bus – Special for Handicapped and Elderly

We designed a bus which has more spaces for the handicapped. This bus will be the transportation to deliver the elderly from their house to the senior care centre or hospital. The driver will pick them up and deliver them to the places they want to go.
