Group Project
Improvements for urban bussing systems in Central New York
Objective: to create a chapter for a book on design solutions for problems within public transportation systems during the Covid-19 pandemic.
​
Phase 1: Perform field research to generate hypotheses for solutions
​
Phase 2: Validate hypotheses through research and user testing
​
Phase 3: Create visual representations of final design solutions.
Focus: Central New York Bus Stops; we were specifically instructed not to focus on the busses themselves.
CEntro App
@GoCentroBus | www.centro.com
Centro is the public transportation provider for Onondaga, Oswego, Cayuga, and Oneida counties in New York State.
The app to the left was one of my main contributions to the final part of this project.
​
Based on our research, we redesigned the Centro app to include:
​
-
Contact Tracing Updates
​
-
Live Bus Tracking
​
-
Sanitation Updates
​
-
Updated Interface
​
Ideally these changes will make the the riding experience more convenient and enjoyable for riders.
The following is a condensed version of the chapter created by me (Hannah Erickson) and my group mates: Franky Zhang, Alex Santangelo, and Theo Kocher
