The route map is the road shown by the vehicle. Such a scheme can often be seen in public transport, for example, in the subway or shuttle bus. You can draw it both in a graphics editor and on a simple piece of paper.
It is necessary
- - out-of-the-box sheet;
- - pencil;
- - eraser;
- - paints;
- - regular card.
Instructions
Step 1
Select the vehicle movement pattern. Write down the number and name of all stops along the way. Also note the destination of transport and the name of nearby streets. Highlight important points of interest through which the route passes. Such elements will be train stations, universities, parks, monuments, etc. Remember, the route map should be as informative as possible.
Step 2
Mark the route scheme on the city map, highlighting the paths of transport in bright colors.
Step 3
Transfer the diagram to a landscape sheet. Be sure to respect the scale, i.e. the length of the sections of the path and the correct location of objects relative to each other.
Step 4
Indicate the route scheme in the first way. Use it when you need to draw a diagram for several vehicles at the same time on one sheet. Draw several lines with different bright colors. When crossing road sections, place the lines next to each other.
Step 5
If the end stops coincide, place them in one square, indicating the route numbers. With this method, it will be most convenient for an ordinary passenger to use the route map. Unfortunately, when printing on a black and white printer, all the effectiveness of the method will be reduced to zero.
Step 6
Indicate the route scheme in the second way. Draw all routes in one color. However, throughout the entire section of the route, enter the numbers corresponding to the route number. Visually, this method is not very convenient, but it will allow you to reproduce circuits on a simple b / w printer.
Step 7
Draw additional elements. These can be traffic lights, various buildings, monuments and other bright landmarks. Remember to write down the names of the stops.
Step 8
Mark roads with different types of dotted lines to indicate repair or non-working areas. This will allow you to orient yourself correctly and in advance in unfamiliar terrain.
