The aim of this project is to seek a sustainable urban mobility solution for active city environments. Specifically, this project seeks to explore a feasible system that developed around the artifact of compact electric vehicle.
Phase I : Research and Strategy. Including primary and secondary research of urban commuting in the city of Savannah, Georgia. Research methods were mix of qualitative and quantitative research.
Based on the primary and secondary research of Savannah's urban area and commuters, problems were uncovered as over-sized vehicle use in a compact area, inefficiency of vehicle occupation, and the consumption of unrenewable resource and greenhouse gas emission; which lead to the solution of a urtra-compact electric vehicle powered with in-wheel motors, and a EV service system.
The service system is composed of parking, owning, and rental service. Flexibility is the key work in these three areas. Flexible parking provides a win-win solution for both commuters and city's parking department; flexible leasing program also gives commuter a smarter way to own a vehicle.
