Abstract
Everyone can, to a certain extend, imagine what the future of transportation holds; delivery drones, high-speed trains and autonomous vehicles that will provide us with the experience of having a private chauffeur. One of the shared characteristics between these concepts of future mobility; is that they improve efficiency, e.g. when we can let go of the steering wheel, the time gained can be spend to send out one last e-mail or have a more social commuting experience. Developments in the light rail industry like the Hyperloop concept improve time efficiency, and therefore allow us to arrive at our destination much sooner than before. Yet, comfort, quality time and time efficiency are not the only concerns when it comes to mobility. New challenges manifest themselves, and my initial goal has been to understand the active role mobility could play to solve the challenges that we will meet in a future scenario. The context driven design methodology Vision in Product design has been used to create a future vision and mission statement, which acts as a response to the generated vision. The vision communicates three phenomena that will significantly influence urban environments, and the goal of this thesis has become to provide a solution for these challenges.
