Affinity Diagram

The Affinity Diagram helped us break the

information we got into similar groupings. The
general categories that we assigned our notes were
Positive Feedback, Navigation, Bike Racks, and Bike
Lanes
 R t Problem
Bike paths are frequently congested with pedestrian traffic
and finding a place to park their bike.
 Scenario
Do you or anyone you know
almost being on time for class,
but were stopped due to
congested bike paths?

Meet John, a new student with a

new bike. He is nervous about
finding a bike rack and
navigating campus.
 Proposal

● Use Waze Crowdsourcing for paths

● Waze Bike Racks
Solution Sketches
 User Feedback
● Two users mentioned that they thought it was a good idea - but,
questioned whether it would implemented properly and if it was
feasible.
● One user was skeptical about the idea because he was aware of a
group that tried something similar and failed due to lack of resources.

From the feedback on the whole, we learned that we have to figure out a
way to remove the feasibility and implementation quirks while staying true
to our solution.
 Where do we go from here?
Things we can do in the future:

● Make Waze Racks.

● Take the solution to other campuses since the problem will exist there
too.
● Reward users for the info they provide - Add incentive for users.
 Conclusion

While our idea appealed to students, the prospect of it possibly not being
able to be implemented caused them to be hesitant on whether or not
they thought the app itself was a good idea.
