TEAM: Mobile Weighing Scale for Vehicles

 Name: Ashutosh Pandya

Designing and writing work was done by him. With his creative and purposeful
thinking, our group has been able to complete the project in time. As we talk
about the technical detailing of the project, he helped so much with his
awesome practical knowledge. The main contribution in the mind map as well
as the product development canvas. He helped in creating and placing canvas
detailing and images.

 Name: - Steve Pravasi
With his fantastic skills in creating ideas, he supported the group in
selecting the topic as well as exploring more about this topic. Not
only had he developed the idea also he gave support to the designing
part of the project. With his excellent presence of mind, he helped co-
workers in their ideation
Email id: Steveprvasi4646@gmail.com
 Name: - Rohit Kateshia
He was the main designer of the project as well as he took a very
active part in creating our product. He gave his drawing expertise to
the project in a way that the project reached a different level of
creativity. He was full of knowledge about this topic which makes
him a perfect member to be chosen for the group. He managed the
dates and places of the working of the group to make this project.

1.1 Design Thinking:

 Design thinking is a formal method for practical creative resolution of problems and
creation of solutions, with the intent of an improved future result.

 In this regard it is a form of solution-based or solution-focused thinking starting with

a goal (a better future situation) instead of solving a specific problem,

 By considering both present and future conditions and parameters of the problem,
alternative solutions may be explored simultaneously.

 Explanation design thinking is an approach that allows an individual to analyze a

problem in the present and think about its practical solution that will reduce or rejects
the problem in the present as well as the future.

 It is different from scientific thinking in a way as scientific thinking includes

assuming all parameters and then thinking of a solution to the created situation with
all the parameters predefined.

 On the other hand, design thinking creates a solution to the existing problems with all
the parameters at their natural values.

 This is a better option as it includes natural thinking and not the predefined one so
design thinking is largely adopted in surrounding for human solutions.

 Design thinking is a formal method for the practical, creative resolution of problems
and creation of solutions, with the intent of an improved future result. In this regard, it
is a form of solution-based, or solution-focused thinking starting with a goal (a better
future situation) instead of solving a specific problem.

 By considering both present and future conditions and parameters of the problem,
alternative solutions may be explored simultaneously. Unlike analytical thinking
design thinking is a process that includes the building up" of ideas, with few, or no,
limits on breadth during a 'brainstorming" phase.

2.1 Observation through AEIOU and other methods:

Understanding the problem of society is one of the biggest challenges for engineering
students as till now we were making projects on imaginary ideas. So, the first session was
based on understanding the domain of the problem in a broader sense with emphasized on
interacting with the people of our domain area which includes more casual talks than ta
ethnic sections. We were mostly observing what are the major the basic problems of the
people in our domain. The area our domain was steering system as we know there are a
number of peoples are present for their different purpose or reasons or duties all of them are
from different backgrounds and must. perform different functions or utilize the space in a
different way. As in our first Canvas of activities we have observed the following activities.

In this stage, we find the various users which are directly or indirectly related to our project
for example shopping malls, and Multiplex. Hospitals, Residential Purpose, Educational
Area, Religious Area.
It Describers Place Conditions Challenges & other Factors Also the Interaction Between
Different People in Different Situations.
The AEIOU stands for A= activities
E= environment
I= interaction
O= object
U= user

Activities of users
• Surface Selection
• Installation
• Wiring Component
• Error Correction
• Area Distribution
 Calibration
• Inspection

 Weather
 Highways
 Crowded Place’s

 3. Mind mapping:

Then we had used coggle for our mind mapping. It provides a great platform to make a mind
map which can be used for easy analysis The snapshot of our coggle sheet is below

2.3. Fig: - Mind Mapping

A mind map is a diagram used to visually organize information. A mind map is hierarchical
and shows relationship among peace of the whole. It is created around a single concept,
drawn as an image in the centre of a blank page, to which associated representation of ideas
such as image, words and parts of word are added. Major ideas are connected directly to the
central concept, and other ideas branch out from those major idea.
The non-linear but hierarchical approach of mind maps makes them an excellent way to
organize your ideas, plan and essay, and makes note for content. Mind maps are purposefully
colourful and work well when combined with imaginary to present ideas, concepts of
information. This canvas can be prepared with multiple colours in the canvas to make it more
effective and to highlight necessary things of the domain.

HAPPY:
Ashutosh A truck Driver HE was Driving An overloaded Truck with Heavy Goods Which
HE Has TO Transport It from One Place to Another Place He Saved His Money & Time by
Using This Device the HE Unloaded his Extra Payload.

HAPPY:
Rohit Running a Garage for Commercial Vehicle He Uses This Device for The Checking of
Weight Distribution of The Vehicle by Using This Device He Also Saved His Time &
Money Which Increased His Income Also

SAD:
Ashutosh A truck Driver HE was Driving An overloaded Truck with Heavy Goods on
National Highway Then He Was Caught by RTO Officer Which Caused Him as a Huge
Penalties & Because Of It His Vehicle Was Also Damaged (Leaf Spring Deflection)

SAD:
Steve Was an Owner of Transporting Business HE Load His Tuck with Uncertain Weight
Which Is Not Distributed Properly Because Of It His Truck Was Got into An Accident

Product Development Canvas

Fig.5.1 Product Development

The PDC consist of the various sections as User, Purpose, Experience (User Fee i.e. User’s
feelings, expectations, and experience from the developed product – imagine/visualize this),
Functions, Features, components and validation/re-validation.
Working on a PDC is an iterative exercise, once done first-hand, more and more revisions
will enhance the product development spine. Create versions, more of it over a period of
time. Improve each version or break-it-down to specific needs of the visualized product.
