Contextual systems analysis

Stage 02 : Phase 01

This diagram shows the relationships between the different entities I found relevant to Public transport in Delhi, 2010. The system obviously does not include every possible component that is directly or indirectly related to public transport but only the ones that will be affected by the project outcome and are related to the context of the project.

The entities are divided in three layers. The rightmost layer is directly related to the problem I will be working on i.e. the users of the consolidated map, their information needs and the language of the map. The layer on the left acts as the foundation for the information that will be put on the map and the will eventually benefit from it. The entity layer in the middle has all the direct information that is related to various modes of public transport. I will be solely concentrating on the intra-city modes of transport right now. The map will act as a communication medium between the authorities and the users (which is to say, I intend to design the map so that it serves this purpose).
