R15201: Autonomous People Mover – User Integration System
1. Background
4. Customer Needs and Objectives
• The passenger vehicle of the future is not one we are
familiar with today. Autonomous vehicles are
expected to take over the market!
• Several Universities are taking the initiative to become
lead the charge in designing an implementing these
vehicles, including RIT as led by Dr. Raymond Ptucha.

Potential Vehicle Design
Receive input from user through a
computer interface system.
Verify the input with the user.
Have a display feature on the cart
showing where they are on
campus.
Have various features on the cart
including pause tour, end tour, etc.

7. MSD I Kickstarter Plan
Week 1:
• Familiarize yourself with
the project.
• Talk to Dr. Ptucha to understand the project goal.
Week 2:
• Investigate the current
state of the project.
• Talk to the previous team leader and figure out
where they left off.
Week 3:
• Complete Objective Tree and Affinity Diagrams
• Meet with Dr. Ptucha to verify that these goals
are in line with what he wants.
2. Project Description
8. Project Team Needed
• As the cart continues to change, it becomes necessary for
its users to be able to interact with the cart.
• In its current state, the cart can give tours to people
visiting campus; however, it is on a set route and there is
no way for riders in the vehicle to interact with the cart.

3. Project Goals
• The team shall be tasked to come up with a way in
which the user can communicate with the cart through a
computerized system and provide a demo at Imagine RIT
2018.
• In the following summer, the cart should be able to give
tours to visiting families with limited support from a staff
member.
