Purpose and goal
The aim was to develop an attractive, functional personal transport for easy use on short distances indoors, easily manoeuvrable by the user alone. The goal was to produce a prototype suitable for further investment. The aim and goal have been fulfilled. A user-centred development process was applied, giving attention to the interplay between person and technology. The prototype thus produced is suitable for further investment with the aim of continued development into a commercial product.
Results and expected effects
The main result is a Beta prototype in a concept suitable for further in-vestment. The Beta prototype has the potential of meeting the various functional needs and demands of a broad target group. The Beta prototype is a concept that can be developed in a number of variations adapted to in-dividual considerations.
Approach and implementation
The development process (concept, functional tests, analysis and evaluation of prototypes including components and construction) has been completed according to plan. This includes: studies of users and identification of needs including identification of demands and evaluation; the transmu-tation of user needs and statistical analyses into technical analyses with function and demand specifications; and the technical concept analysis of prototypes by functional tests and risk analyses.
