ABSTRACT
@#Public transportation is one of the most important services in supporting the smooth running of community activities in cities where people most commonly use a bus to reach a destination. Consequently, it requires a clear travel route so passengers find it easy to go on a trip. Display is a device for providing information. However, the existing display receives some complaints where more than 60% of passenger experience difficulty in reading what is shown, taking more time for them to understand the information. It is evidence that the device is not effective and efficient to use. Thus, development of a new display is crucial. The purpose of this study was to design an innovative display that is more ergonomic in displaying bus route information. Survey was conducted to identify user requirement. Axiomatic design method was applied to determine the design parameters of the display by mapping process from customer attribute and functional requirement on the basis of the ergonomic principles. Statistical analysis was conducted to test hypothesis. The result of this study showed that the display developed is valid to meet customer criteria at 5% of significant level, covering the criteria of being informative (0.144), comfortable (0.063), digitalized (0.070), and easy to access (0.378). Thus, it is more effective and efficient for passengers to gain any information needed.
ABSTRACT
Currently, the existing toilet design sold in the market has not satisfied criteria of the disabled people. Disabled includes the physical impairment, the hearing impairment, the visual impairment, and the cognitive impairment. This people prefer use a specific toilet to the public toilet. However, a specific toilet was not available in any place. This condition becomes a problem for them. As for the existing public toilet does not provide easiness in use and even has potential risk to lead accidents for them. The toilet was designed to serves only the normal people. Therefore, it needs to design a public toilet which can be used universally. So normal and disable people can use it easily and conveniently. Objective of this research are to develop design parameters of toilet based on the inclusive design concept to satisfy customer criteria. Axiomatic design was implemented in this study to identify the design parameters by means of mapping process from customer attributes and functional requirements. Anthropometric data was used and non paramethric statistical analysis was conducted to validate the proposed design. Result of this study showed thatdesign parameters identified was valid to satisfy customer criteria at 5% of significant level. The design parameters encompassed material used, dimensions and position of toilet attributes as well as additional environmental appliances.
