The document provides project criteria for a transportation design challenge to design innovative tire/wheel components and a vehicle for the year 2017 that incorporates the design philosophy of being "Smaller. Safer. Better.". The criteria includes designing a tire/wheel interface that makes the wheel appear larger while keeping the same tire diameter and incorporating at least one suspension component. It also includes rendering the exterior of a vehicle utilizing the tire/wheel design. Additionally, the document shows examples from a portfolio including a cell phone display on canvas, a lamp with lighting effects, a speaker with a virtual grille, and a painted 3D printed toothbrush holder prototype.
