Driver
side slidable door (fig 1.1):- In
my model I have made the right side drivers door as slidable door as it takes
less space to open and close especially when the bus is parked in congested
area.
·
1 luggage
box (right) and three luggage boxes (left) (fig 1.2):-Luggage box is very essential for buses. So in my model I have given a large space for luggage box. There is one luggage box on the right
side which is of 14cm. The luggage box on the left side is 19cm in length and
it has three doors each door is 6.3cm in length.
·
Multi
axle (fig 1.3):- As compared to single axle buses
multi axle buses give more stability. So I made my model a multi axle bus. ·
- Mirrors:-In my model I have given large mirrors for driver on both right and left side.
·
Night
readable individual lights:- These lights
will be in small size and dim enough for passengers to read books etc., not
disturbing other passengers at night time.In my model there are 26 night time
readable lights one light for each passenger.
· Push back
seats (fig 1.4):- These are the comfortable type of
seats which can be pushed back and pulled front. My model has 26 seats with soft
cushion.
·
Emergency
exit:- Emergency exits are the windows
which can be easily broken in case of emergency. In my model I have made all
the windows as emergency exits except the first window on both right and left
side.
·
Co-drivers
seat:- Co-drivers seat is the seat for
the co-driver/conductor (in regional language) is situated to the left of the
drivers seat.In my model there is one co-drivers seat.
·
Powered
by 12v to run:-My bus has two DC motors which helps
in movement of the bus which is powered by 12v battery.
·
Air Condition system:-Air Condition is necessary in
summer days. In my model we need to fill a tank with cold water. When the fan
attached to the tank runs it generates cold air which moves through the
ventilator in the bus circulating cold water throughout the bus. This is the
method used in my model as Air Conditioner.
·
Indicators:- All vehicles are fitted with a number of signalling
devices or indicators with specific functions and purpose. They are meant to be
used by drivers to convey to other road users what they intend to do with the
vehicle. They ensure better communication on road and overall safety. So in my
model there is one indicator on left side of bus and and one indicator on right
side of bus.
·
2 Front headlights + 1 fog lights (fig 1.5):- Driving
lights/Head lights are designed to illuminate the road over a long
distance for example country areas. They must be wired such that they only
switch on with the main beam (high beam) head light. They emit the same lighting
pattern as a main beam and are used as a supplementary light. Fog front
lights are designed to better illuminate the road in fog, snowfall,
rainstorms or dust clouds. They can be recognized by the low, narrow vertical
pattern (and wide lateral spread) of light emitted. In my model there are 2
headlights/driving lights +1 fog lights on the front of the bus both
right and left side (fig 1.7).
- 2 Rear headlights+ 1brake light (fig 1.6):-A tail light or a tail lamp is the part of the lighting system of a vehicle which is attached in front and at the rear part of the vehicle. They usually come in pairs (left and right). there are different types for different functions. I my model brake lights function when the brakes are applied. So, I have given 2 rear headlights and 1 brake light on the back of the bus on both right and left side. ·
·
R/C
controlled:- My model is remote controlled
with 6 channels. The receiver and transmitter is of 520 Hz. This remote will work
within 20 meter of radius. (fig 1.9).
- 3 floor chassis:- My model is made up of 3 floor chassis of metal which gives stability to the bus and can withstand a weight approximately up to 6kg.
