Creating an inclusive, urban mobility service

Being mobile is an important component to be part of social life. Going to the bakery, having a relaxed hour in the park, visiting the cinema or simply friends and family, makes us part of society. This is why empowering everyone to do so is an important component of social justice. Mobility services are currently discussed, focusing on new technological opportunities and the dilemma that individual mobility brings concerning pollution and consumption of energy. Cities are built since the 60th on the basis of car friendliness. Now it’s time to look at the technological possibilities, think about how we design our inner cities and mobility services, so the citizens can enjoy a social and enriched life.

1.on.3.4.all is a level 5 autonomous mobility device that uses the actual power of this technology: Making people mobile, who weren’t before. Through its inclusive design and easy communication through multiple channels makes it accessible for everyone. The door ramp can be lowered or raised to eliminate height distances while entering. It is as small as a TukTuk but provides still enough space to take a bike with it or gives wheelchairs enough space to turn. So it’s the perfect mobility service for people who want to become or stay part of societal life by being mobile in a sustainable way in urban contexts.

NOBODY HAS TO BE LEFT BEHIND.

Being picked up with
a welcoming and inclusive
Offer to enter

Being able to order service to the place of pick up, doesn’t necessarily mean that it enables the use.

Accessing the vehicle can be difficult for people in a wheelchair, having a bike or a baby cart, or simply being compromised in their ability to move.

1.on.3.4.all picks the users up, by turning through 360* rotatable wheel in the back with its portal front to the passenger walk. There the portal, similar to the gates of an airport is getting lowered or raised to allow entering on an even surface. The glowing soft frame of the portal gets firstly pressed to the passenger walk and secondly communicates with us, through a color code, to enter wait and so on.

An On-DEmand
mobility service

Cars are polluting our environment, taking up all space in inner cities that could be used to make the city more citizen-friendly, and isolates us from each other.

Current public transport seems unattractive for car lovers. Therefore the compromise of sharing concepts is developed and implemented.  But even these services and public transport are not accessible to everyone. Looking at the vehicles, they are not inclusively designed, for people with disabilities. Also, people with a baby cart are struggling as well to use public transport for this.  Also, the last mile to and from the residence makes puts these vehicles for some members of our society in the far distance. We need inclusively designed services, that are comfortable to use, get shared, and pick us up from our door. We need AI-supported, level 5 autonomous, on-demand mobility.

Inclusive passenger
compartment design

The passenger compartment is designed in an inclusive way. After entering the portal with its dimensions. that comfortably allow someone with a wheelchair to enter, the passenger finds himself in a calmly designed space with high contrasts. All elements to interact with are highlighted in black, having a huge contrast to the white. People with visual disabilities can comfortably identify the seat or poles to hold on to. The conical inner space and a raised black guidance line lead right after entering the main seat in the back. This seat allows interacting in various ways, through its placement and dimensions. This way people can decide how to sit on it. Furthermore, there is a second seat that can be used by another passenger or invites people who have difficulties sitting to lean against it.

Being part of the
outsidelife, insted
of being diconnected

The passenger compartment in current Autonomous mobility concepts mostly are designed in a way that they are an extension of our private spaces. The idea behind that is to use the now available time, priory occupied by driving, for stimulating activities or work. We are supposed to be driven around in closed space, reading a book, doing yoga or working on our laptop. 1.on.3.4.all utilises that time to be outside an in touch with  neighbours and city. This comportment ceel is as open as it can be. A pripe frame constructed on top of a bottom chasse holds  a tarp out of see through elements and translucent textile. There is nearly no barrier between the passenger and the outside. The portal, as well as the big side window frame the surrounding in a way to embrace and watch it.

We are supposed to be driven around in closed space, reading a book, doing yoga, or working on our laptops. 1. on.3.4.all utilize that time to be outside and in touch with neighbours and the city. This compartment cell is as open as it can be. A pipe frame constructed on top of a bottom chasse holds a tarp out of see-through elements and translucent textile. There is nearly no barrier between the passenger and the outside. The portal, as well as the big side window, frame the surrounding in a way to embrace and watch it. 

The dimensions
of a TUk-Tuk

Even though the overall dimensions of the vehicle are relatively small, the inside is designed in a way that provides enough space to turn a wheelchair, carry a bicycle, bring a baby cart, and so on.

The seating is moved to the back of the vehicle and diagonally positioned which creates a big dimensioned free space, without losing seating comfort. Furthermore, the space-saving second seat and display contribute to that.

 

TukTuk’s are vehicles proven to be adequate to be used in the urban context. Their small dimensions allow them to be navigated through narrow passages and save space in the urban environment. Furthermore, they use fewer resources in the production and use than common cars. This is way 1. on.3.4.all is designed with TukTuk dimensions of 2m length on max. 1.8m width on 2m height.

Making mobility affordable

The aim is to provide mobility resources at affordable prices. Al supported mobility services guarantee economical mobility resources. In the future, it will optimise the transportation flow of pick-ups and arrivals to make these options even more affordable. The idea is to have a constant fleet on the move which picks up the next person and affects the pick-ups underneath the fleet.

The limitation is only the hardware, if something breaks or needs maintenance the vehicle will be out of business. The affordability factor will then be quite useless. 1.on.3.4. is the concept which tackles this problem. All the technical parts are modular, a vehicle arrives at the garage and everything can be maintained or repaired within minutes.

A design that allows different usage scenrios

This open design enables a multi-usage. It is not particularly designed to suit one exclusive used case.

Its spacious inner part and inclusive design equal a one fit all solution, that can be used for public transport, personal moves to a new apartment, or even the transport of sick and care patients, without being heavily modified.

Just the LED display on the back highlights its different usage.

A multi-sensory
interaction with
the vehicle

To enable everyone to use the vehicle, a multi-sensory interaction with the vehicle is designed. A display in the passenger compartment can be used to set up the location of arrival. This can be done as well by phone or voice commands.

Ordering the device can also happen via the personal phone or computer, but the concept also includes a physical ordering device, easy to use, with just one click. After ordering the button locks in a deepened position until the vehicle arrives. Guided by vibration people with visual disabilities can locate it easily and enter through the portal, which automatically opens when the phone or ordering device is close enough.

"One fits all has a negative conotation, but it can also be part of democratising
Services."
