Development of a grip and support system for public transport

Abstract

It is given that in Bogotá public transport system moves approximately 29.18% of the population, it is essential to ensure that the features of the service provision are the most appropriate for its users; for example, the support bars inside the vehicle are not at an adequate height according to the physical characteristics of the users, generating risks within the vehicles. Due to this failure has not been resolved in its entirety by the service provider is important to implement a method that allows adequate grip to the fasteners, considering this, the project aims to develop a system of grip and support that reduces the risks of physical damage to the user during his trip. This system will allow users who are in the orthostatic position (standing) to anchor themselves in a simple way of the elements incorporated in the vehicle. The development process was carried out using a combination of the Ulrich and Schnarch methodologies
