Our previous idea for the model was soon disregarded as it was far to labour intensive and we were unable to come up with a way of easily bending the laser-cut acrylic with the tools we had access to. After discussion with Tim and Yasu we have come up with a new way of creating our model which seems plausible in a real life manufacturing situation.
The route display will be made of several layers of laser-cut acrylic which house the L.E.D's, sensors, transmitters etc. The wires and other electrical components will be encased in a vacuum molded semi-circle PVC (or similar) tube which covers the entire back half of the pole.
