Abstract

Bus is a vehicle designed to carry passengers and is well-known as a costeffective public transport. With the increasingly of customer demand, buses are designed with accessibility features to provide high comfort ability and safety for both the passenger and the driver. This thesis presents the development of concept design for ideal intercity bus where all the specifications and regulations related to the intercity bus design are to be considered. The entire technical data developed included driver compartment, passenger compartment, walkway, entrance and luggage compartment are set according to the Voice of Customer (VOC) as well as Automotive Industry Standard (AIS) and American Public Transit Association (APTA). The presented thesis is conducted to come out with optimum three dimensional bus packaging concept design; hence, evaluations are done to test for the level of human comfort, ergonomic and performances of three dimensional data. Additionally, important parameters of three dimensional data such as seat space, gangway, driver visibility, internal height and so on will be compared with current intercity buses. The particular comparisons conducted are to verify as well as show the usability of three dimensional data generated. Lastly, through the analysis and the comparison carried out, it had successfully proved the three dimensional concept built is capable to fit in most of the bus design available in the market whilst it also able to hold paramount onto the ergonomics as well as comfort.
