Bus doors reflective material a little creativity four students won international awards

Passengers up and down buses, electric cars or Jicha or passing scene is very common, likely to cause traffic accidents. Zhongyuan Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Department of Industrial Design 4 students, under the guidance of their teachers, the use of the ingenious idea of the design of the "Security Bus Door" (bus safety gate) works to address not only the security risks, but also in one fell swoop won the 2010 German Red dot design concept award the prize known as the "Oscar" of the international design community said.

Month: four college students Preliminary changed the idea of drawing

"If everyone up and down bus for not how to pay attention to see both sides, the door opened directly on the next, usually we take the school bus also deep, basic does not pay attention to both sides of pedestrians or vehicles." Xie Kee Zhongyuan Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Industry Design a senior last year, he Zhuzi Bin, paint rain, Liu Ying three students, pondering the upper and lower bus safety problems.

In multi-party consultation, and access to large amounts of data, they sprouted up with an ingenious idea: to break the traditional bus door design, the use of mirror reflection principle to attach a special layer of reflective material on the bus door. In this way, not only to passengers in the next car, it is possible from the door clearly see the environment outside the vehicle body, the traveling vehicle can also see through the reflective layer that the person to get off, can effectively avoid the accident.

Xie said Hutchison, from the initial idea to the final design drawings, 4 of them under the guidance of a teacher, a month to complete.

Take the grand prize: the hope that the concept can be applied to real life

The design is complete, register online and send an e-mail, all information submitted to the Organizing Committee of the Red Dot Design Award. Works unique idea and chic design philosophy, won the favor of the judges, winning the 2010 red dot concept design award.

"Because of the time, we could not go to Singapore to accept the award, Organizing Committee expressed appreciation and congratulations to call us, and later the trophy and certificate mailed to us." Xie said the original design, they consider a lot of problems For example, any suitable material, should be strong, not too heavy, or may affect the car, the cost is not too high, reflective coating will be no adverse impact on the passenger psychological factors, they thought.

This design being only reflects our ideas and concepts, specifically how to implement in practice, we still do not know, I hope to have corporate interests, if you can, the best can be applied to real life. "

Industry: a good idea but the programs need to improve

Passengers to get off the reflection can be next door to observe the road conditions before and after the door, take the initiative to determine whether to get off, to eliminate concerns about the psychological, both to improve urban transport security but also pleasant mood, but the programs have a problem, if you can not solve and perfect, yet can not be promoted in the bus. "

Province a large passenger car production companys technical staff said that the students well designed, very creative, should be encouraged, but there are still some problems. For example, the passenger door glass requires the use of tempered glass, and must ensure the transmission rate, increase the layer of reflective film, or use outside of the vehicle and tempered glass can effectively reflect the light transmittance can not meet, do not meet the national standard.

The company official said that the students have new ideas can be available to them, through the Evening News program, they will go into research and development, improve after put into production.
