An Alternative Bus Stop Design Proposal for Ankara

Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to protect the passengers at the bus stops against effects such as rain, snow, sun and traffic accidents, to improve the comfort conditions, to design an original bus stop suitable for the ergonomic, technological, cultural and aesthetic requirements of the passengers. For these reasons, it was inspired by the dome structures of Mimar Sinan and the Hittite Sun Course form dating back to 4250 years, as the stops are part of the city's identity, as they are protected against possible natural effects and accidents at bus stops, and for this purpose, a unique bus stop design proposal has been developed for Ankara province. In addition, the energy needed will be produced and stored with solar panels placed on the roof of this new generation bus stop, designed with a sustainable city approach.
