Premium member Presentation Transcript Congestion Around the Schooland Possible Solutions : Congestion Around the Schooland Possible Solutions Team 13 - Carol Cheng, Terri Chong, Calvin Chiu, Jonathan Li, Vincent Yu Introduction : Introduction Congestion Safety hazard Wastes time Time wasted since year 7: 9.5 hours Cumulative time wasted every day by 1200 students: 9 hours Slide 3: :( Hypothesis : Hypothesis Congestion will be concentrated at the central stairwell. The central stairwell is most convenient in terms of proximity to classrooms. Peak periods will occur during the starts and ends of breaks. This is when students exit their classroom and make use of the stairways and corridors Method : Congestion questionnaire 192 copies to students of all year groups Whether congestion is a problem Which staircase is most congested Reasons for congestion Method Method : Method Stairway traffic count Week 1: counting the number of people in different staircase Week 2: counting the number of people on different floors at the central staircase Results : Results Frequency of traffic on staircases at the start of breaks Frequency of traffic on staircases at the end of breaks Results : Results Staircase usage by block Staircase usage by floor Results : Results Weighted mean percentage of traffic going one way (and also the other way) Slide 10: Results One way Other way Wrong way Results : Results Net migration at the start of breaks Net migration at the end of breaks Possible solutions : Possible solutions Divide staircases into 3 lanes Possible solutions : Establish no stop zones to prevent loitering Possible solutions Possible solutions : Establish no-stop zones to prevent loitering Advantages: Effective Improves safety Low cost Disadvantages: Hard to enforce Unattractive Possible solutions Possible solutions : Movement plan Advantages: Diverts traffic away from the central staircases Disadvantages: Complex and difficult to follow Easy to forget Inconvenient – time consuming Possible solutions Possible solutions : Display notices and signs Advantages: Encourages people to stay on the left Prevents loitering Disadvantages: People are likely to ignore the advice Possible solutions Possible solutions : Force students to wait inside their classrooms Advantages: Prevents loitering Encourages punctuality Disadvantages: Teacher preferences Not applicable to all rooms (science labs, technology rooms and music rooms) Possible solutions Proposed solution : Proposed solution Proposed solution Divide staircases into 3 lanes and establish no-stop zones Movement plan Display notices, signs and arrows Time Plan Inform tutors - End of Term 3 Refurnish Staircases – Summer Holidays Principal’s Assembly – Term 1, 2010 Colour coded movement plan in School Diary – August Further investigations : Further investigations Implement and evaluate the solutions from this proposal to determine their effectiveness in reducing staircase congestion. How can congestion be further reduced? Questions : Questions Any questions? You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
