Abstract - The Product Design and Development
between the steps and height of all individual steps makes it harder.
Laboratory is for the students to gain experience in designing and developing a product from feasibility assessment to development. As a part of this laboratory, I have generated ideas and conceptual sketches for these ideas. Using the weighted matrix, I have selected the “Extendable additional steps for busses and trucks”. The design for the product is finalized using Pugh matrix and CAD models are created using SolidWorks. This report contains the ideas generated, conceptual design, product design and the CAD model for the finalized idea.
1.2 Aim For this problem, extendable additional steps can be used to reduce the ground clearance. These steps can be extracted and retracted. These additional steps can reduce the knee pain as people do not have to stain while landing on the ground and boarding the busses. These will be retracted so it will not be a disturbance in the side.
2. METHODOLOGY
Key Words: Design, analysis, pneumatic, Steel, busses and trucks
Methodology is specific procedures followed to identify, select, analyze the process and complete the project. The following methodology is carried for completing the EXTENDABLE ADDITIONAL STEPS FOR BUSSES AND TRUCKS project.
1.INTRODUCTION Public transportation plays a major role in many people’s life. With high steps, bus rides are not smooth for elderly. The low-floor busses are not completely implemented in Tamil Nadu. The low-floor busses are available only on the semi-air conditioned or fully airconditioned busses such as Volvo and Daimler but the tickets are expensive. While using high-floor steps in busses, elderly people have the risk of getting knee pain. Also, while using high-floor steps everyone has the chance of getting knee pain by carrying heavy weight. And for children this will be a tough task to do. The ground clearance between the steps and height of all individual steps makes it harder. For this problem, extendable additional steps can be used to reduce the found clearance. These steps can be extracted and retracted. This additional step can reduce the knee pain as people do not have to strain while landing on the ground and boarding the busses
