1-Objective Finding:
Introduction:
Our university prioritizes various aspects, yet we've identified a gap in transportation. Introducing
“CampusRide," our initiative aims to enhance student transportation on and around campus. By improving
services, we aim to create a more efficient experience for our university community. Our goals are clear: strengthen
academic support and enhance transportation, ensuring our university is a place where students can excel and
navigate campus life seamlessly.
Divergent Thinking: During our initial brainstorming session, we let ideas flow freely, exploring multiple areas of
discussion. We considered options such as expanding and improving gym facilities, implementing sustainability
initiatives, and various other potential enhancements for campus life.
Convergent Thinking: As we delved deeper into these ideas, a central theme emerged. We found that, among the
various areas discussed, the most pressing need for improvement was in the realm of Transportation. Our collective
focus converged on this specific aspect, recognizing it as a critical area requiring attention and enhancement.
-Addressing the transportation challenge is crucial for improving the overall university experience. Our focus on
this issue reflects our commitment to making campus life more seamless for students. By tackling this problem, we
aim to create an environment where all students can easily access resources and engage in university activities,
promoting a thriving academic and daily experience for everyone.

3-PROBLEM FINDING
1. Shuttle Services :
Problem: Prolonged Wait Times and Inadequate Coverage
Explanation: Students face challenges with shuttle services due to long wait times and inadequate coverage,
impacting their daily commute and overall convenience.
2. Substainable Transportation :
Problem: Limited Implementation of Eco-Friendly Options
Explanation: The adoption of eco-friendly options, such as bicycles and electric shuttles, may be limited. Overcoming
this challenge is essential to align with the university's sustainability goals.
3. Navigation App :
Problem: Lack of Accessibility and Guidance
Explanation: Students currently lack an accessible and dedicated navigation app. The absence of such a tool hinders
their ability to easily locate transportation services and navigate the campus.
4. Real-Time Tracking:
Problem : Uncertainty and Inefficiency
Explanation: The absence of real-time tracking for existing transportation services leads to uncertainty and
inefficiency. Students face challenges in predicting arrival times and planning their schedules accordingly.
5. Carpooling Platform :
Problem: Limited Participation and Community Engagement
Explanation: While carpooling can be an effective solution, there is a challenge in encouraging widespread
participation and fostering a sense of community among students. Addressing this issue is crucial for the success of the
carpooling platform.
