Impromptu meeting

Last Thursday Patrick, Kane and I had a meeting to further develop the bus stop flagger. The meeting mainly covered a new aesthetic for the design, and also new ways to interact with it.

The bus stops will now be personalized with the bus route actually being the shape of each bus stop, which you can see with the picture. In terms of behavior we decided to integrate LED’s into the surface of the bus route which gives users feedback about the locality of their bus.

The two parts sprouting from the top of the bus stop serve separate purposes. The part that would be over the gutter, facing the road will show the driver what bus needs to stop at that particular bus stop. The inward facing piece will contain a light and possibly a speaker if we decide to incorporate audio messages into the design.
