We currently do not have any posed solutions to the problem we are exploring.
Our plan is to have a solution, at least prototyped, by: Late April 2021.

Our Design Goals, Parameters, and Constraints:
Goals:
Parameter:
Constraints:
- Our team's overall goal for this project is to improve someone’s living conditions in the Dallas County area by solving problems related to transportation, specifically access to necessary services.
- Increase radius of services provided by our solution
- We hope to break the poverty cycle for at least 1 person.
- We hope to eventually implement our solution to other people and cities
- We hope that our solution will increase the number of people who use public transportation
Parameter:
- For our end user, the cost of the solution should not be more than already existing solutions
- Either keep the time needed to commute the same or less than amount of time it takes with current solutions
- Our solution needs to increase the amount of services accessible to our end user. Possibly increase the radius of available services our end user can access by .5 miles.
Constraints:
- Can’t increase the number of buses and trains
- Can’ reschedule the bus and train times
- City of Dallas banned dockless scooters and bikes, so can’t use a dockless vehicle
- Can’t change the phone type or technology our end user has access to
- Can’t change where the services are located. Ex: can’t change where a hospital or grocery stores is physically located
- Can’t change where our end user lives
- Can’t change where bus stops and train stations are located
- Can’t change where and how far sidewalks and roads go.
