These are my initial design drawings for the bus, exploring several ideas. Each drawing shows a feature that was incorporated in the final design. The top drawing shows the expandable side panel much the way campers or RV's work. The second drawing was where I began toying with the idea to use an articulated bus (a bus with a center joint) to make use of the longer body and more interior space. Finally the bottom sketch was an exploration of how the inside might be ordered.

The communications element was important to the design and incorporated several aspects: networking and communication with other buses to integrate aid operations, surveying and site control to coordinate following logistics, and database services to document survivors and ultimately locate separated family members for them. This diagram represents the integration of all these functions.
