Cabin sketches and explanations



I would like to focus on the design of the full-scale cabin, station, and safety features. The safety features would mainly focus for handicapped; with adding hooks and ramps. The hooks in figure 1, would help to keep wheelchairs from moving during the time the cabin is going to it's destination.

In figure 2, there is the representation of a ramp for the cabin. The ramp is there if the platform of the station and floor of the cabin are not leveled. The ramp would be in place of a step because there is wheelchair accessibility and passengers would not have to step down from the cabin. The ramp would also cover the gap between the station and cabin, which will prevent tripping accidents for the passengers.

 Figure 3 shows a possible entry and exist for the cabin. Sliding doors would be used because they would slide along the sides of the cabin. Having sliding doors is the better option because swinging doors would require space when opening, which could possibly hit a passenger if they are standing close too the entrance of the cabin.
