Miniature of Transit Elevated Bus in China

Abstract

The Transit Elevated Bus was a proposed bus concept with a guided bus straddles above road traffic. For either option, it may be necessary to widen the lanes occupied by the bus to accommodate the bus wheels and undercarriage while allowing other vehicles to pass under the bus two abreast. It also dealt with the curiosity on how the Elevated Bus Transit works, on how to build it within a year. In answering what construction materials will be appropriate for the project, what methodological procedures will be followed, and how can the Transit Elevated Bus be presented, these became the contributing factors that make this study came to reality. This study utilized the quantitative research method. The participants of the study are composed of 15 Electrical Engineering and 15 Industrial Engineering Students. They will test the level of acceptability of the miniature in terms of construction materials, procedural methodology, mechanism, and presentation using t-test at the level of significance of α= 0.01 and degree of freedom of 28. Based on the findings of this study, the following results were drawn. The level of acceptability of the Transit Elevated Bus is highly acceptable as assessed by the two groups of respondents. There is no significant difference between the assessments of the two groups of respondents in assessing the miniature in terms of construction materials, procedural methodology, mechanism, and presentation. Time management, lack of some materials, and inaccurate measurement of the floor plan were some problems encountered in the construction of the project. The results can be forwarded to improve the project. The researchers recommended maintaining its durability because of the light materials used. It also recommended that the assessment of the product must depend on their field of expertise. Lastly, the researchers were encouraged to make concrete decisions on the time allotted in making the miniature.
