AVII

January / June 2016

Group Project with Shivam Bhatnagar, Felix Crowther, Lidia Dynes Martinez, Paolo Ruegg and Tessa Smulders ​

AVII is an Automated Vehicle for Increased Independence. Many public transport systems today lack inclusivity, stripping physically, visually and auditarily impaired users of their independence. AVII accommodates these users in comfort. A buck of the interior of the public transportation vehicle was manufactured, using Solidworks as a planning tool.
