parameter identification
In order to properly design a unit, certain parameters needed to be indentified:
Size of the equipment being used by the mobile DMV units -
Space in possible transport vehicles -
Average and minimum sizes of general spaces across Illinois -
Average workspace sizes -
We identified the common equipment used by the mobile DMV clerks. This included the following:
Lexmark MS421 (Printer) -
Brother HLL 6200 DW (Printer) -
Xerox Duplex Combo Scanner (Desktop Document Scanner) -
Topaz T-LBK460 (Signature Pad) -
The measurements of each piece of hardware are shown on the left, in the order of height, width, then depth, each measured in inches.
For the transport vehicles, at the time this project started, we did not know which vehicles were employed by the Secretary of State’s Office, so we based our design on the cargo capacity of the smallest available Ford Transit van (we were later informed that the Secretary’s Office acquired the largest trim Ford van).
For the general spaces, we mainly needed to insure our unit could fit in elevators. To check this, we researched the minimum elevator size requirements in the US as required by the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). This gave us two crucial measurements: the minimum door width, being 36 inches, and the minimum elevator car depth, being 51 inches.
