Description

1 TARIFF ACCESSIBLE BUS STOP REQUEST BUTTON FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION TECHNICAL FIELD The invention is for passengers who want to get off public transport, especially buses. to enable passengers to communicate their stop requests (requests to get off). The invention relates to the stop request systems used. More specifically, the invention concerns stop request systems. creation, confirmation of receipt of request with visual and audible feedback, line The vehicle registration number / code information is presented visually and tactilely on the mobile device 10 combining charging and power supply functions in a single unit. It relates to an accessible stop request button. The invention also concerns passengers inside the vehicle. It features a structure suitable for mounting on grab bars. PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE 15 To communicate the stop requests of passengers who wish to disembark from public transport vehicles. Stop request buttons, passenger information labels, and mobile device charging stations are used for this purpose. The units are mostly independent products and are located in different parts within the vehicle. They are placed at specific points. This approach allows multiple devices to be placed inside the vehicle. This leads to the need for separate assembly, separate wiring, and separate installation for each device. This creates maintenance requirements. Also, independent devices have different surfaces. and their positioning with different designs, ensuring consistency in the in-vehicle user interface. This can lead to deterioration and visual clutter (visual pollution). Accessibility features in existing systems are often limited. Stop 25 The buttons used to create requests always have haptic feedback. Lacking information, such as line number or vehicle code, is often only available as visual text. It includes tactile information (Braille alphabet, embossed writing, etc.) and pauses. Voice feedback features that confirm to the user that their request has been received are available in every system. It is not included as standard. This situation affects disabled individuals and different users. 30 Creating demand for bus stops in terms of passengers' needs, the demand difficulties in understanding that it happened and in the processes of acquiring information It can create. 2 For these reasons, passengers who wish to disembark from the vehicle must reliably submit their requests for a stop. capable of receiving; accessible information and charging functions on a single device. It offers an integrated solution; simplifies assembly and maintenance processes and in-vehicle A solution that ensures consistency in the user interface is needed. EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION The purpose of the invention is to enable passengers who want to get off public transport vehicles to reach the stops. an environment that enables them to communicate their requests in an accessible, understandable and verifiable manner The invention is to provide a stop request button. It enables stop request creation for vehicles / lines 10. Information and mobile device charging functions are integrated into a single unit. by combining them, we aim to reduce the number of independent devices within the vehicle and improve the user interface. It aims to ensure integrity and simplify assembly and maintenance processes. The invention adopts a multi-sensory interaction approach in terms of accessibility. This Within this scope, the device enables the creation of a stop request and the receipt of the request within 15 days. understanding should not rely solely on visual cues; it should also include tactile, auditory, and visual cues. It is structured to present feedback elements together. Thus, the disabled individuals and passengers with different user needs can easily request a bus stop. It makes it easier to create and confirm that the request has been received. The invention also ensures that the product is easily recognizable and safe to use. 20 ergonomic and anthropometric user measurements are taken into consideration in order to provide support. It has been designed taking into account the user. In this context, the form and surface layout of the device have been designed with the user in mind. Designed to facilitate access; in-vehicle visual integrity and user experience. Experience criteria have been taken into consideration. The invention also includes 25 different devices used for passenger interaction in public transport. by presenting them integrated on a single body, inside the vehicle It aims to reduce the number of components. This way, the vehicle contains... independent stop request button, information label and mobile device charging unit, etc. Assembly complexity resulting from the individual positioning of the elements is being reduced and consistency is being ensured in the in-vehicle user interface. 30 Explanation of the Figures Figure 1: Front view of the device. 3 Figure 2: Perspective view of the device.

Reference List 1 Ø30 mm passenger grab bar 2 Main bodies 3 Back cover 10 4 Information label area USB and Type-C charging interfaces 6. Illuminated and embossed stop request buttons DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 15 This detailed explanation describes the invention as a demand for accessible bus stops for public transport vehicles. The button's preferred alternatives are solely for the purpose of better understanding the subject. This is explained in a way that will not create any limiting effects. The invented stop request button allows passengers who wish to disembark from the vehicle to request a stop. to be used in the passenger area of ​​public transport vehicles It is designed and mounted on the passenger grab bar inside the vehicle. It has a structure that can be modified. Passenger handrails in public transportation vehicles Because it is mostly used in a standard size with a diameter of Ø30 mm, the device is Ø30 25 can be mounted directly onto the passenger grab bar (1) with a diameter of mm It has been arranged. The device basically consists of a main body (2) and a rear cover attached to the main body. (3) consists of. On the main body (2), there is a stop 30 that allows the passenger to create a stop request. The request button (6) is located. The stop request button (6) is easily accessible to the user. It is arranged in a luminous and embossed structure that is easily perceptible. When the user presses the stop request button (6), the stop request is sent to the vehicle system. 4 is being transmitted; the request has been received, the user receives illuminated feedback, and it is located within the main body. Audible feedback is provided via the area speaker. There is also an information label area (4) on the main body (2). This Information label placed in the area; route number of the public transport vehicle or embossed lettering containing the vehicle code (e.g., M3022), and the same information in Braille. its tactile response created with and digital information through mobile devices a multi-layered system that includes a QR code element providing access It has an information structure. This allows users to access route / vehicle information. It can be perceived visually, tactilely, and digitally. Information label, vehicle or can be applied later and / or updated according to line information 10 It is structured in a way that allows for modification. The side surface of the main body allows passengers to charge their mobile devices. USB and Type-C charging interfaces (5) are included. The main body (2) and the rear cover (3) are assembled to be fixed onto the pipe. It is being brought in and the device can be mounted quickly and easily inside the vehicle. 15 It provides. The device developed within the scope of the invention creates a stop request. The function provides access to information and mobile device charging functions in a single unit. by offering them integrated into the body, thus reducing the number of independent devices inside the vehicle. It reduces assembly complexity and visual clutter. The device's external form and user interface layout are different from those found on 20 different public transport vehicles. ergonomic design to support easy access and use of user profiles. and designed taking into account anthropometric user measurements. 30
