The document describes a proposed solution to provide priority seating for senior citizens and disabled people on public transportation. A group called NEED-4-SEAT aims to design a seat that opens automatically when a senior taps their RFID card. The seat would use a servo motor to unlock and open, with a limit switch to close it. The group faces challenges with programming and electrical work. Feedback shows most feel this could benefit the elderly and improve public transport systems, though some have neutral or negative views. Future improvements could make the seats accessible to more users and add better security.

2. Problem statement
 Misuse of priority seats in Bus/MRT.
 Abuse of privilege.

3. Introduction
Reserved seat being misused.
Grumpy old man enters and passenger
fails to give up seat.
Unnecessary rage outbreak.

4. Current Situation
October 2015, train
employee occupies 2
seats, leaving an old
man to squeeze at the
corner.
September 2013, being
totally ignorant of an old
woman standing.

5. OBJECTIVE & GOALS
Objective:
 Provide a hassle free priority seat for senior citizens.
 To provide everyone a safe and enjoyable ride to their
destination.
Goals:
 Make positive impression at the end of the project.
 Garner attention from interested 3rd parties.
