Dual-Purpose Bus for Water and Land Transportation

Abstract

Nowadays, the calamity is uncontrollable like flash floods due to our bad habits where commuters including students are affected. Shortage of transportation is the first effect of this problem whereas due to the pressure on the water flood cannot pass through. Therefore, this study produce a vehicle for transportation that can be used in water and land transportation and that is dual purpose bus.This study is guided by the quantitative research methods to determine the assessment of Dual Purpose Bus model by the two group of respondents composed of the twenty (20) Fourth Year Electrical/ Mechanical Engineering students of QCPU and five (5) Engineer teachers of the BCP College Department who answered the instrument making a total of twenty five (25) samples using t-test at level of significance at α= 0.01 and degree of freedom 18. The prominent of this study are as follows: construction materials the obtained composite mean 3.92 as highly acceptable in response of the engineering students and 4.00 as highly acceptable in response of engineering teachers, procedural methodology the obtained composite mean 3.65 as highly acceptable in response of engineering students and 3.84 as highly acceptable in response of engineering teachers, mechanism as to land transportation they obtained composite mean 4.32 as highly acceptable in response of the engineering students and 3.88 as highly acceptable in response of engineering teachers; and mechanism as to transportation they obtained mean 4.09 as highly acceptable in response of the engineering students and 4.00 as highly acceptable in engineering teachers. The subsequent discussions are as follows; (1) construction materials, some respondents recommend to use economically design, environment friendly, it must be really inexpensive; (2) procedural methodology, some of the respondents recommended the researchers must follow the procedure and refer to different design and guidelines and construction codes that are applicable to the model; and (3) in mechanism of Dual Purpose Bus some respondents recommend to improved design, make attractable design and assure that technology is safe to use.
