Evocative Image

This image shows people walking around in ancient Rome. This image is what we want the train system to be able to fix. We don't want people to be walking far distances when they could just take the trains (Granted we don't know how far they all walked.)

(Explain Better)

(Edited)

On this slide I would explain how these streets are crowded and people could bump into each other and get sick from one another. I would also explain that our tunnel system would fix this issue by getting small amounts of people onto a clean train and bringing them to where they need to go.

A problem in Ancient Rome was that you always had to shop at the shop near you and everything that you needed had to be right there where you lived. But if it wasn't there you would have to walk a very far way to get what you needed.

The Problem

The solution is to dig a network of tunnels that connect points of interest such as the Markets and Temples. In these tunnels there will be Train/Trolley looking machines that will bring people to certain stops and drop them off.

The Solution

What Does Equity Mean to Us?

Equity means to use that all people get the resource that they need and have enough. For example if you were at a baseball game with your friends and you had three boxes you could use to see over the tall fence. It would be equitable if you allocated the boxes based on height.

Our project represents equity because everyone will be able to board the train system freely and as many times as they want for free.

Mid Review Feedback and Problems

A few problems we faced along the way to finishing this project were the final design not working well, having to switch our project idea and posting on the wrong part of Nuvu the entire project.

Most of the questions and feed back we got during the Mid Review were already incorporated or were just questions that we couldn't incorporate.

On this slide I would say more clearly that we didn't get any mid review feed back that we could incorporate into our design and the few comments that we got were questions that we couldn't really incorporate.

This is a diagram of a handcar.

The Roman Subway System is designed to get people to the places they need to go whether it be for work or for water the Subway would be able to get you there. The carts would be powered by a version of the Handcart and would have two to four people pushing it to make the cars go (The people pushing it would be payed workers and not slaves.)

The Handcar

Roman Engineering

We incorporated Ancient Roman design in our project by the tunnel that the train goes through. In this tunnel there would have been pillars and arches for structural support and to make it look nicer and also to make it a bit cheaper.

On this slide I would have said that we would incorporate Roman engineering by columns and archers that would like nice be cheap and be strong.

Prototypes

The next few slides will be all of the prototypes and other things before the final design. There will also be a few of the parts that went into the final design as well.

Our Final Design

The problems that our final design will solve is getting people across the city fast and efficiently and also the train system will help with keeping the streets less crowded.

Precedents (1)

This is a Train/Subway system and it inspired us to create tunnels under Rome where Train/Trolleys would operate to bring people around the city.

Precedents (2)

The Trolley inspired us as we wanted to model the seating areas for the people after a Trolley.

Precedents (3)

Precedents (4)

Gears inspired us to make a cart that will push the rest of the train and luckily that was already a thing. These gears also so how our project incorporates Mechanical Engineering in its design.

Video 1

This is basically how a Handcar works.

Our first sketch was when we were deciding what to make so we sketched out things for currency and agriculture and a couple others. Our second Sketch was actual when we were trying to make our car thing for the Economy Idea. But then we switched ours to Transportation and deiced to make tunnels under the city where a Train/Trolley system would bring you to your stop.
