INTRODUCTION
When it comes to means of transportation, most people only think about cars or
motorcycles to go from one place to another. However, these are not the only
group of vehicles that can be used for transportation, since a bike can work in an
effective way and it helps to reduce the contamination in the earth.

For this reason, in the following report four alternatives of trikes (bikes with 3
wheels) are going to be showed in order to find out which of them will be the best
option to select according to its design, material, purchase of accessories, and its
impact to the nature.

1 OBJECTIVES

1.1 General objective

Analyze the most principal factors that have to be considered by the time of
working on a design project.

1.2 Specific objectives

Understand how the project has to be developed according to the

considerations that have been taken, such as: design, material, purchase of
accessories, and its impact to the nature.

Compare all of the four alternatives in order to decide which of them will be the
best option to work with. So that, in general transportation and care for nature
works in proper balance.

6 DESCRIPTION OF THE ALTERNATIVES

6.1 Alternative 1
On this first alternative the values obtained according to the tables were the
followings:

Costs :
Design :
Logistics:
Environment :

0.36
0,34
0.18
0.13

These values have to be multiplied by 100 in order to know the important of every
factor or in other words its percentage. For this reason after multiplying, it was
obtained that, the cost has a 36 %, the design has a 34 %, the logistics has an 18
%, and finally the Environment have a 13% in this alternative.

Its clearly seen that the costs have the highest value among the others, so in this
first alternative, the costs will be considered as the most important point to work
with, this means, that, before making any decision the amount of money will be
consider like the principal priority.

Apart from this, the impact to the nature has to be considered, so that, the project
does not create any problem to the planet, so according to the table kkk, which is
above, it is showed that the environment have a 13 %, so this means, that, this
alternative does not affect the planet, because of his low value, but it helps to
reduce the pollution, since it is not ridded by using any kind of gasoline.

6.2 Alternative 2
On this second alternative the values obtained according to the tables were the
followings:

Costs :
Design :
Logistics:
Environment :

0.39 * 100 =
0.32 * 100 =
0.18 * 100 =
0.08 * 100 =

39
32
18
8

In this alternative, it is clearly seen that cost has the highest value with a 39 %, the
design has a 32 %, the logistics has an 18 %, and the environment hast an 8 %.

As in the first alternative the cost has the highest value and the environment has
the lowest one, so, this is the same case for this proposal. This means that if an
eco-friendly project wants to be developed, then the amount of money in the
project has to be increased in order to avoid generating contamination to the
planet. On the other side, the design and logistics are important point to keep in
mind, but if there is not money, then any effort will not make sense.

6.3 Alternative 3
On this third alternative the values obtained according to the tables were the
followings:

Costs :
Design :
Logistics:
Environment :

0.39 * 100 =
0.32 * 100 =
0.18 * 100 =
0.08 * 100 =

39
32
18
11

In this alternative, it is showed that cost has the highest value with a 39 %, the
design has a 32 %, the logistics has an 18 %, and the environment hast an 11 %.

The costs are the most important part to consider by the time of designing,
because according to the table, this valued has de highest percentage, so, before
going to make any decision, the person who want to design have to check his
pocket and then proceed if he have the amount of money that is needed to develop
the project. Also, the environment have to be consider, since, the impact to the
nature cannot be forgotten.

The design and logistics are very important as well, but these factors are
considered once the costs and impact to the nature (environment) are clearly
studied.

6.4 Alternative 4
On this fourth alternative the values obtained according to the tables were the
followings:

Costs :
Design :
Logistics:
Environment :

0.36 * 100 =
0.34 * 100 =
0.18 * 100 =
0.13 * 100 =

36
34
18
13

As in the third alternative, the description can be the same:

The costs are the most important part to consider by the time of designing,
because according to the table, this valued has de highest percentage, so, before
going to make any decision, the person who want to design have to check his
pocket and then proceed if he have the amount of money that is needed to develop
the project.

The values has changed, but the balance is closely the same, so this means, that
the costs have to be always considered, and the environment value has to be the
lowest in the group, because the lowest this value will get, the more eco- friendly
the project will become.

7 CONCLUSIONS

In the process of working in a design, there are 4 important factors to keep

in mind, those are: costs, design, logistics, environment. Among these
factors, the costs are considered as the most important value, because
according to the investment, the project will develop the other factors.

In most cases, the costs receive the highest percentage, so, before making
any decision the amount of money needed in the project will be consider like
the principal priority.

If an eco-friendly project wants to be developed, then the amount of money

in the project has to be increased in order to avoid generating contamination
to the planet. On the other side, the design and logistics are important point
to keep into consideration, but if there is not a monetary fund, then any effort
will not make sense.

The impact to the nature has to be considered, so that, the project does not
create any problem to the planet; the lowest this value will get, the more
eco- friendly the project will become.
