Technical Report Draft 3

  1. Problem Statement
Given that students studying in SIT@Dover often encounter the problem of having to wait for tables during lunch time, shouldn’t a solution be implemented to ease the lunch
crowd and increase space for students to have their lunch?
This study will determine the feasibility and compatibility of replacing majority of tables and chairs in the canteen with ‘Trayble’ while still retaining several long tables to cater to group celebrations etc.



  1. Purpose Statement
The purpose of this proposal is to explain how ‘Trayble’ will greatly alleviate the problem of insufficient tables during peak hours to reduce time spent waiting for table.
  1. Proposed Solution
Our proposed solution is to change majority of the tables and chairs in both canteen in Singapore Institute of Singapore(SIT) to ‘Trayble’ which will help maximised the available spaces i.e. more seating capacity and to fully utilise the seating capacity.

A ‘Trayble’ (Refer to figure 5) is a modified chair that serve the purpose of both a table and chair. It is designed to improve the lifestyle of students in SIT Dover campus. The special feature of this Trayble is the armrests which is converted into a extension support that holds tray firmly acting as a stable platform for eating. These armrests can be adjustable, allowing users to adjusted to the position they feel comfortable. In addition, it has finished frame that improve posture for healthy back. Contoured and textured cushions are used to provide comfort to user. It is also lightweight making it very convenient for user to carry/move around as roller wheels are added to enhance the mobility of the chair.

These strips will imitate signals of pedestrian crossings and can be seen throughout the entire day. According to an interview by the author, Gopinath Meno, senior research fellow of Nanyang technological University, stated that the installation of the floor lights would enhance safety of those who are constantly looking at their smartphones as they are unaware of the road condition. While the floor lights might guide smartphone zombies when crossing the road, it is a bane when considering their attitude towards road safety. The implementation of floor light will help to raise pedestrian awareness while crossing the road, but it does not solve the issue of smartphone zombies not caring abo...
