During our skype meeting we discussed the next phase our group will take. The Kisd students came up with a diagram revealing accident scenarios that occur in intersections. This representation was taken from the results found during the research earlier. It seems that the highest point of danger occurs in the during a driver's left turn. He/she is in danger of crashing into an oncoming vehicles as well as obstructed by pedestrians crossing. We feel that scenarios like this should now be analyzed further and we will now zoom into the user's scale.
GOAL: Kisd students will be recording what it is like to be the driver in the intersection and what factors are involved and Parsons students will be researching what the pedestrian experiences. We would like to have sketches of possible design solutions and sketches by Friday, but more importantly, by Monday, our next Skype meeting.
From here we will probably see where our ideas coincide and where they do not, and we can then further distill our problem. According to our schedule, we are not due for design proposals until Oct 17th. We feel that the investigatory phase is still necessary.
