METHODOLOGY put in survey

DATA ANALYSIS ●100 point scale system ● We factored in ●safety, ●reliability ●comfort, ● convenience, for the users ● revenue ●maintenance for the owners ●maximum profit ●extensions of ALCOA markets.

DATA ANALYSIS - S CORING Original Ideas ❏ zip bike ❏ carriage bike ❏ zip line/slide ❏ sky ride ❏ train ❏ tandem bikes ❏ rocket backpack/shoes After Scoring ❏ 83 points ❏ 58 points ❏ 88 points ❏ 81 points ❏ 80 points ❏ 31 points ❏ 40 points Problems: ❏ convenience and availability ❏ availability ❏ not reliable ❏ schedule ❏ needs preplanning ❏ unsafe

DATA ANALYSIS - S CORING R ESULTS Ideas that advanced: ❏ zip bike ❏ carriage bike ❏ zipline/slide ❏ sky ride ❏ train ❏ tandem bikes ❏ rocket backpack/shoes Problems: ❏ cold weather conditions ❏ availability ❏ only goes one way ❏ not reliable; schedule ❏ runs on schedule ❏ needs preplanning ❏ unsafe

DATA ANALYSIS What now? Combine the pros and cons of the ideas to create the final concept

CONCLUSION The final idea: the combination of slide and sky ride. Reason: The elevation of campus-- not flat Fuel-efficient
