Capstone Project

TranspoXR

Problem

Transportation agencies usually conduct engagement sessions during transportation planning to inform and engage the public in decision making. They will use these sessions to gather feedback and increase public buy-in. However, for planners and the public, there are some obstacles to achieving productivity and efficiency during the engagement process.

Approach

Before starting the design process the team performed 16 interviews with both planners and the general public. In addition they had 44 survey responses and 5 cognitive walkthroughs to help identify the needs of their user.

Solution

TranspoXR is an Augmented Reality based, one stop mobile applicatio that allows the public to immerse themselves in the transportation planning process and provide authentic feedback. Pedestrians can find a poster with a QR code on the street that when scanned, will show the proposed infrastructure in augmented reality.
