Traffic+Rules



As soon as we step outside of our houses, we can never guarantee if we will come back safe. Vehicle accidents are one of the rising means to unwanted deaths. There have been many ideas that are designed for road safety, which help avoid collisions and prevent deaths. We cannot eliminate this but we can take precautions to ensure our safety. “Left turns are probably the hardest turns to make, because they require a good deal of concentration and patience.” (Bevilacqua, 2008) Thus, the proposed design ‘turn mechanism’ will be a key concept of safety that will prevent needless injuries and deaths regarding left turns within intersections.

Theoretical Concepts ** The Three stage Perceptual Process Model 1) Parallel Processing: This stage suggests that if one wants to understand information quickly it should be presented in a way that it could be easily detected by these large fast computational systems in the brain. 2) Pattern Perception: In this stage there would be a division of the visual field into regions and simple patterns such as continuous contours regions of the same colour and regions of the same texture. 3) Sequential goal-directed processing: In order to use an external visualization we construct a sequence of visual queries that are answered through visual search strategies. This model is a basis for structure for any 3D model.

This law explains, “Human perception of groups of objects and how we perceive //parts // of objects and form //whole // objects on the basis of these.”(Kohler et Sternberg) this includes the following: - Law of proximity -this suggest that when an individual views a collection of objects, the can be perceived as being close to each other as forming a group - Law of similarity- this law proposes that elements that are identical to one another will be perceptually grouped together. - Law of symmetry- this suggests that we tend to perceive objects as symmetrical shapes from their central point. - Law of closure- This law brings to the light the fact that individuals tend to perceive objects as complete or closed even though they are not.

We will optimize the display through designing a 3 dimensional model of our design. This will further enhance the visualization of our concept and give the viewer a better insight of the workings of our new proposed model- turn mechanism
 * Optimal Display **

The redesigned model of our left turn mechanism will be presented in the form of a 3 dimensional model in Photoshop. We will also have an animated demonstration explaining the working of our model.
 * Final Deliverables **

We will provide a before and after design of a four way traffic street with and without the left turn mechanism. By doing so, will show the effectiveness and need for the design.

We plan on spending ample time on research and finding specific statistics that will educate us on the need of this product.

Our presentation will include a stand up presentation and a creative aspect during the inauguration of the turn mechanism.
