Configurational Model

This work comprises an evaluation of the waiting conditions of the users of the Public Transportation System at bus stop shelters. By observing the users'positioning it was possible to define physical factors - denominated “attributes” - that are considered of major importance for their comfort. For such, the Grid of Attributes Method was developed based on a configurational model which was able to simultaneously represent in the object both the attributes and the users'behavior. The data represented in the graphic environment of the method have been transported to an alphanumeric environment, thus allowing the statistic gauging of the behavior frequency and its correlation with the attributes. The statistical results of the method's application indicate a possible hierarchy among studied attributes and their correlations with the object's design.
