DC LOCATOR
WHERE DO I GO?DC’s metro system can be complicated for the not everyday passenger. So why is it so hard to find your way around?
For this Tools project, I looked into the Washington DC trans-portation system to help improve the way we get from point A to point B. I developed a concept and a design that would help those using the DC metro transportation system to get around in an easier fashion.
IDEA
My idea is to create a system that helps those sometimes confused to where there are on the bus system, to get around without the stress. The DC Locator idea is to create a band of simple, colorful dots that light up when you approach your desti-nation. It is one line of rolling lights that indicate the upcoming stops leaving the past stops in dark. Not only will it light up, but it will also blink and call out the stop.
This new flashing light system will simplify the way we use DC’s transportation system.
