Rebecca's Proposal

Rebecca will be focusing on the design of the full-scale cabin, station, and safety features. The safety features would mainly focus for handicapped; with adding hooks and ramps. The ramp is there if the platform of the station and floor of the cabin are not leveled. The ramp would be in place of a step because for  wheelchair accessibility and passengers that can not step up or down. The ramp would also cover the gap between the station and cabin, which will prevent tripping accidents for the passengers. She would like to implement sliding doors because they would slide along the sides of the cabin. Having sliding doors is the better option because swinging doors would require space when opening, which could possibly hit a passenger if they are standing close to the entrance of the cabin.
