NextBus Stop

A dynamic bus stop display that informs passengers when their bus will arrive.

ROLE: Researcher and designer

CHALLENGE: To design a bus stop that at a glance and from a distance will inform passengers if their bus is about to arrive.

PROCESS: Took site visits to bus stops to explore possibilities and limitations. Interviewed passengers, created personas.

SOLUTION: To use size, scale and movement to intuitively communicate to passengers. Similar to a bus appearing larger as it approaches; the numbers representing the bus becomes larger as the bus nears. The display could either be a screen display, or projected onto a wall (as pictured here).

IMPLEMENTATION: I created a visualization of the Next Bus Stop installation by composting images using Photoshop, Illustrator and animating them in After Effects.
