design 1 alternate ticketing more space for queuing? allows better flow of people? people will queue parallell to tram rather than in the way of pedestrians

design 2 placing the ticket machines behind will allow a clear path in the boarding area. Obstruct pedestrian traffic?

PLAN

This design has two sides. they reflect each other and these have 2 L-shaped queuing zones each. The central walk way would allow disable access to the disabled entrances much easier however, if this was placed central to the platform, the queuing area would block their path.

next step: design new centre point design wheelchair waiting area into centre point think about door placement 6600mm per car, 5 cars

Central Point
emergency point ticket machines scanners

left hand side: This L formation leaves the centre point clear for people walking through. Having this space clear would allow a central music space for performance or music download. right hand side: This L formation utilises the fact that there is no door entry at this point. When the queuing area isnt busy people can use this as a through route

PLAN
Centre Point: for this design i have mirrored the frame and chose different placements to see what would work better. This design is 13365 mm out of 33000 mm at hilled locations this would be too long, and the extension posts would be too high up for people to sit on. the wheelchair points need to be open and easy to get into with a chair. but also be useful for other people when disabled people are not using them. so resting seating is the best solution. they dont take up to much room and will still allow people to rest. The idea that there is a centre point however is being lost into two blocks with a centre pathway.

Central Point
emergency point ticket machines scanners info

Instead of having a central point, i have thought about focusing on the disabled points. Using these as ancors for the design. there will now be two central points with mirroring items.

These glass panels could display the infomation?

MUSIC AREA BUSKING NOTTINGHAM BUSKING Proposals unveiled by Nottingham City Council would only allow buskers to play for two hours in one place or 30 minutes in some cases. (Nottingham Post, 2011). They would then not be allowed to return to that spot for two hours. And a busking pitch near the Council House in Smithy Row would only be available for non-musical, quieter acts. (Nottingham Post, 2011). This news article highlights that buskers will be dicourage from perfroming in nottingham because of these new rules. If i was to include busking areas into my tram stops, this would allow more spaces for buskers. Possibly teaming the busking area with the music interactive panels I have planned, it interactive screen could be used to promote the musican and allow people to download tracks and quickly add there contact details, eg facebook or twitter . (Smith, 2013) (Mole, 2006) The Busking Project is an online archive of videos and images for street performers. If there could be a link to this digital open source site, then the musicans could be automatically uploaded via the internet point within the stop. (Thebuskingproject.com, 2014). The original aim was to produce the worlds first HD digital archive of street performances, a documentary exploring the lives and motivations of street performers of all backgrounds, (Thebuskingproject.com, 2014). This map shows the current locations of groups that use The Busking Project getting nottingham involved in this would increase its music scene and encourage artists to perform and make sure that this is not lost because of the new rules and regulations.

MUSIC AREA Music for the public This idea is based on the fact that in Manchester, a busker was playing outside the tram stop, and from my own observation, people mood seemed to improve and it create a buzz and excitement at the stop. I would like to incorporate music within my stop, not only in the busking style, but also in music download of listening at the stops. I also want to investigate this because not every stop will have space for a a busker or a need for one.

MUSIC AREA Pillars

MUSIC AREA Pillars

a song is usually around 2-4 minutes long, so someone can listen to around 2-3 songs while they wait to pass the time.

space for a card scanner, enabling users to purchase the music or tickets via their travel card.

These pillar are now held together in three sections, the middle section can now be either a music dock station, where someone can download and listen to Nottingham based music and radio, or a space to add features such as emergency points. have the music stations on the fron pillars will allow more users to use them but also allow those listening to music to notice when their trram has arrived.

side panel allows multiple listeners and three headphone points allow multiple users to listen to the same station/ musican

placing the device at the sides rather than the front, will promote people to not block the scanners but also allow people to face forwards while listening to watch for the tram.

new slanted roof design give more direction towards the trams but will also help to drain rain water the addition of SOLAR POWER will catch more light if the roof is tilted toward the sun. the slant my also encourage people to face toward the tram, so that no one doesnt miss the tram by not paying attention.

new roof structure, these supportswill allow for a thicker roof and will give more stability to the design. Having a thicker roof will enable me to add, solar power and other features such as speakers and lighting. the colouration here highlights the fact that the ticket machines are located here.

I do however, think that the scanners would benifit from being solar powered. although Im unsure where the solar energy will come from within my current design. if the solar power from the roof of the shelter runs down the supports and into the floor of the stop then it can be transfered under the platform flooring. individual solar power would allow the scanner and ticket machines, to be placed anywhere.

Emergency Point

(jacques.com.au, 2014) EMERGENCIES DURING WORK NEAR NET (manchesterconfidential.co.uk, 2014) If work obstructs the track unexpectedly, or if anyone or anything comes into contact with the overhead wires, or if tramway equipment is damaged, the NET Control Room must be told immediately. The Control Room can be contacted at any time, by any of these means: Using the Emergency Help Point at any tramstop By asking a member of NET staff By asking emergency services personnel The person contacting the Control Room must say that there is an emergency. The Controller will ask: Who is speaking and where from What has happened Whether anyone or anything is touching the overhead wires Whether the track is obstructed Which emergency services are needed (if any) Answer the questions as quickly and clearly as possible. The Controller will repeat the information back to confirm it. If the Controller gives any instructions, obey them. If an approaching tram must be stopped, signal to the driver by holding both arms above your head. Stand where the driver can see you, but not in the path of the tram.

low level seating and bag placement POWDER COATED STAINLESS STEEL

After speaking with a parent about the low level seating she commented that her children would not use the seats and she would probably just sit her son on her knee on the full seating rather than place them here. in response to this i have added the bag rests into the design and similar to the info boards, they click into the pillars and are lifted off the floor to stop bags getting wet. later on in the design phase i added a lip to the platform to stop bags sliding off.
