Ride The Future

The number of vehicles in Malaysian cities is on the rise. Overloading vehicles in cities is destined to become stressful and problematic for Malaysians commuting on an everyday basis. This project uses the commuting efficiency of Melbourne as a case study to inform a design outcome which addresses the future needs of Malaysian cities.

This research investigates the potential for a vehicle to support the concept of shared public city transportation in Melbourne and Malaysia. The objective of this research is to explore a possible public transportation service to confront the developing issue of vehicle overload, set to rise dramatically by 2050.

This project incorporates online surveys, precedent research, contextual interviews and case studies, to establish a product service system that addresses the gaps in existing shared city transportation services.

Official documents and reports will be considered in order to conclude realistic opportunities for 2050. In gathering data from current research in this area, and applying it to future mobility development, the Ride The Future project delivers a future vehicle design concept that sits within a shared city transportation system. The concept outcome of this project addresses physical aspects of the user experience in a shared vehicle service, through its form and features.

The project also includes extensive technical studies into human factors, concepts, and addressing the types of vehicles to suit future human transportation services. As a result, these methods may be used as packages for future projects in this area of shared public vehicles.
