Technical report Draft 1


Proposed solution
From survey results gathered, we found out that commuters have trouble boarding and alighting public transport. We also found out that majority of the commuters spent most of their time on their phones , so our team came out with an idea of having a holographic display alongside with a mobile application that complements it to tackle this problem.
The holographic projector will display a hologram layout of the interior in respect to the  public transport. The holographic projector will have features such as displaying the next station, facilities and amenities of the location, the exact spot of the commuters who are alighting and also displaying advertisements. The projection of the hologram will be on the ceiling of the public transport.


Free Wi-Fi system will be available for public usage in trains and buses, but the trade-off of this solution is that users will have to download the application in order to use the Wi-Fi. The application works in conjunction with the train’s Wi-Fi system and it serves as a notice to prompt the users with important messages/warning to look at the hologram whenever there is a need.

When commuters enters a MRT or bus, they can connect to the free Wi-Fi available inside the cabin through an application. The application will then prompt the commuters for their alighting stop. During the journey, the user will be notified by the application through a pop up message whenever someone is alighting or when the next station/stop is busy. For busy station/stops, the app will notify the user with a warning message that there will be huge volume of people alighting/boarding the station. When there is someone alighting, the commuter will be notified by the pop up to take a look at the holographic display. The holographic display gives them a visual representation of the people alighting so that the commuter can better facilitate a way for them to alight. The application will also notify the commuter when the commuter’s alighting stop is approaching.
