 INTRODUCTION

• DESIGN THINKING
• What is Design Thinking?
o Empathy with users.
o Extensive consultations with key stakeholders.
o Understanding perspectives, challenges, and needs.
o Define the Problem Precisely defined challenges. Recognized diverse
environmental factors and user roles.
o Ideation and Prototyping Creative workshops led to multiple design concepts.
o Rapid prototyping and iterative refinement.
o User-Centric Testing Regular feedback sessions with diverse user groups.
o Tailored features based on real-world user needs.

o SURVEY
o OBJECTIVE OF SURVEY
o The aim of this design thinking project is to create an innovative and user-
centirc cycle sharing for students. Through empathizing with students,
defining their needs, ideating solutions, prototyping, and testing, we have
developed a design concept that will provide cycles for students and the cycle
stand will serve as a secure and convenient parking facility.

o METHODOLOGY
o Sample size will be of 100 cycles.
o Students of any section will be allowed to use it.

o DATA COLLECTION
o By making an survey.
o The survey was open for 2 weeks and 100 responses were collected.

o SURVEY QUESTIONS
o How often do you plan to use the cycle sharing program?
o Daily, weekly, occasionly, etc.
o What are the biggest challenges you face when parking your cycle?
o Lack of parking space, insecure parking, difficulty in finding perfect parking
spot.
o What features would they like to see in the stand?
o Secure locking system, sheltered parking, charging stations for e-bikes.

o DATA ANALYSIS
o The data was analysed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis.

• IDEATION CANVAS

• IDEAS
• Smart cycle stand: a cycle stand with integrated charging stations, GPS tracking and
smart locking.
• Modular cycle stand: a modular cycle stand that cam be easily expanded or
contracted.
• Green cycle stands: a cycle stand with integrated planters and a living roof.
• Accessible cycle stand: features such as ramps, wide pathway and adaptable cycle
racks.

• KEY FEATURES
• Convenient parking experience
• Secure parking for cycles
• Sustainable design
• Accessible design for all users

• NEXT STEPS
• Refine and iterate on the design concepts.
• Conduct user testing and gather feedback.
• Develop a prototype and test its feasibility.
• Refine the design and prepare for implemention.

• PROTOTYPE
• We created a prototype of the modular cycle stand, incorporating the following
features:
• Adjustable modules to accommodate different types of cycles.
• Secure locking system with integrated GPS tracking.
• Sheltered parking with a roof and walls.
• Charging stations for e-bikes.

• CONCLUSION
• Our design thinking process has resulted in a cycle stand that addresses the needs and
pain points of the students.
• The modular cycle stand provides a convenient, secure and sustainable parking
experience, and we believe it has the potential to promote the use of NGO’s cycle
sharing program and improve the daily lives of students.
