1	Cargo E-Bike as a service : A concept study / Elektrisk lådcykel som tjänst : En konceptstudie Steenberg, Marcus January 2017 (has links) This Master’s thesis was done with the research group Green Leap at KTH. Green Leap is working for engaging design in sustainable development to act as a catalyst for change. A project that Green Leap has worked with is Ett bilfritt år, where families exchanged their cars for lightweight electric vehicles for a year and the changes in their behaviours were studied. The project resulted in positive experiences of the electric cargo bikes in the everyday life without owning a car. This master thesis became a concept study to investigate different possibilities of providing electric cargo bikes as a service. Research were carried out on how existing cargo bike services were conducted and user studies were conducted to get the understanding of who the users of cargo bikes were and how their needs and behaviours looked like. Through further insights from a variety of actors, five different possibilities were identified for services for the electric cargobikes. By comparing the possibilities of the various services, there was an opportunity of designing the same cargo bike for three of the services. The common hardware had a business opportunity for establishing a common platform for different purposes. Different hardware concepts were also developed during the project to facilitate the sharing of the cargo bikes.

Forskningsgruppen arbetar med att engagera design i hållbar utveckling för att verka som en katalysator för förändring. Ett projekt som Green Leap har arbetat med är Ett bilfritt år, där familjer bytte ut sina bilar mot lätta elfordon under ett års tid och deras beteendeförändringar studerades. Projektet resulterades i positiva upplevelser av fordonet lådcykel i vardagslivet utan bil. Detta examensarbete blev en konceptstudie för att undersöka olika möjligheter att tillhandahålla lådcykel som en tjänst. Det utfördes undersökningar på hur befintliga lådcykelstjänster var uppbyggda och det utfördes en användarundersökning på vilka användarna av lådcyklar var och hur deras behov och beteende såg ut. Genom ytterligare insikter från en mängd olika aktörer, kartlades fem olika möjligheter på tjänster för lådcykeln. Genom jämförelse av de olika tjänsternas möjligheter sågs en möjlighet att utforma liknande lådcyklar till tre av tjänsterna. Detta hade en affärsmässig möjlighet för att få fram en gemensam plattform för olika ändamål. Det utvecklades även olika förslag på hårdvara för att underlätta delning med en stor variation avbehov.

2	Ermittlung und Konzeption eines 85 %-Bemessungsfahrzeugs für Lastenfahrräder Fassnacht, Lukas, Schäfer, Petra, Knese, Dennis 16 May 2024 (has links) Dieser Artikel beschreibt die Konzeption eines Bemessungsfahrzeugs für Lastenfahrräder anhand der Datenerfassung von 103 Fahrzeugen. Ziel war es, aus einer Vielzahl von Lastenfahrrädern, die im Privatsektor genutzt werden, ein „repräsentatives“ Bemessungsfahrzeug zu erstellen, das für verkehrsplanerische Maßnahmen verwendet werden kann. Dazu wurde eine Datenerhebung anhand von Online-Recherchen sowie der Vermessung von Lastenfahrrädern durchgeführt. Aus dieser Datengrundlage konnten 42 unterschiedliche Lastenfahrrad-Modelle mit vollständigen Daten für die Analyse genutzt werden. Auf Basis dieser Analyse wurde ein Bemessungslastenfahrrad entwickelt, das 2,60 Meter lang ist, einen Radstand von exakt 2 Metern besitzt, 1,20 Meter hoch ist, eine 70 Zentimeter breite Transportbox und einen 89 Zentimeter breiten Lenker aufweist. Die Nutzung des entwickelten Bemessungslastenfahrrads ist in der Verkehrsplanung, beispielsweise zur Dimensionierung der Breiten von Radwegen, Abständen zwischen Pollern und Umlaufsperren oder Parkmöglichkeiten für Lastenfahrräder, schon jetzt nutzbar, sollte aber durch eine Hüllkurvensimulation und eine Ausweitung der Stichprobe ergänzt werden.:1.

The goal was to create a dimensioning vehicle from a large number of cargo bikes used in the private sector that can be used for transport planning tasks. To accomplish this, a data collection was conducted using online research as well as measuring cargo bikes. From this database, 42 different cargo bike models with a complete dataset could be used for the analysis. From the analysis, it was possible to develop a dimensioning cargo bike, which is 2.60 meters long, has a wheelbase of exactly 2 meters, is 1.20 meters high, has a 70 centimeter wide transport box and 89-centimeter-wide handlebars. The developed dimensioning cargo bike is already usable in transport planning, for example for dimensioning the widths of bike lanes, distances between bollards and circulation grids, or parking facilities for cargo bikes, but should be supplemented by an envelope curve simulation and an expansion of the sample.:1.

3	Cargo Cycles in Urban Freight Transport : Obstacles and facilitating factors for utilising cargo cycles in urban freight transport in Stockholm, Sweden Lasovský, Jan January 2019 (has links) Cargo cycles can play a considerable role in mitigating the negative impacts of urban freight transport while still ensure that the material needs of the city are fulfilled. Their small size, lower operating costs, smaller carbon footprint, lack of tailpipe emissions, and manoeuvrability in congested areas are considerable advantages over traditional urban freight vehicles. However, the advantages of cargo cycles are not inherent in every urban environment and under all conditions. This problematics is in general insufficiently researched and more context specific knowledge is needed. Thus, this study investigates the obstacles and facilitating factors for utilising cargo cycles in urban freight transport in Stockholm, Sweden. To investigate these context specifications, case study approach was employed and consisted of qualitative content analysis, semi-structured interviews, and observations. This study argues that in Stockholm, contradictory forces affect the utilisation of cargo cycles in urban freight transport. On one hand, the facilitating factors are mostly associated with measures of sustainable urban freight transport and sustainable development in general: reaction to traffic situation; strategic orientation of the city; public-private partnership; and bicycle infrastructure. On the other hand, path dependence of the city connected to traditional urban freight vehicles (vans) symbolises obstacles: the absence of direct planning for cargo cycles; lack of recognition; and inconsistency of bicycle infrastructure. cargo cycle cargo bike sustainable urban freight transport last-mile logistics space-efficient logistics Stockholm path dependence Human Geography Kulturgeografi

Buscam melhorar as interações sociais, a habitabilidade e os valores de amenidade no cotidiano urbano. Uma opção com ganhos em termos de sustentabilidade é a bicicleta cargueira, especialmente no transporte e entrega de mercadorias em curtas distâncias. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste estudo foi investigar e descrever os fatores que afetam a utilização da bicicleta cargueira em entregas do comércio varejista da cidade de Juazeiro do Norte – CE. Utilizou-se o estudo de caso único como método principal da pesquisa, apoiado em entrevistas, questionários, observação direta e participante. O estudo justifica-se pela possibilidade de oferecer informação para melhor utilização desse modal logístico em cidades similares e de identificar possíveis melhorias das condições ocupacionais dos trabalhadores. Como resultados, chegou-se, especialmente a partir das percepções dos empresários e dos trabalhadores do setor, numa caracterização dos fatores socioeconômicos, ocupacionais, ambientais e culturais associados à bicicleta cargueira. Conclui-se que, embora esse modo de transporte seja uma ferramenta logística importante para o comércio varejista, as condições de trabalho são precárias. Além disso, apesar das vantagens competitivas em termos de sustentabilidade, a gestão da mobilidade urbana ainda não considera a bicicleta cargueira nos planejamentos nem no cotidiano da cidade estudada. / Cities around the world are seeking to develop more sustainable transport systems in order to reduce accidents, congestion, air, noise and visual pollution. There is also a seeking to improve social interactions, habitability, and amenity values in everyday urban life. One option in terms of sustainability gains is the freight bicycle, especially in the transportation and delivery of goods over short distances. In this context, the goal of the present study was to investigate and describe factors affecting the use of freight bicycle for delivery trips in the retail trade of the city of Juazeiro do Norte, Ceará state. Research method was the single case study based on interviews, questionnaires, direct and participant observation. The study is justified by the possibility to offer information for a better use of this logistic modal in similar cities and to identify possible improvements of the occupational conditions of workers. As a result, especially from the perceptions of businessmen and workers in the sector, we obtained a characterization of the socioeconomic, occupational, environmental, and cultural factors associated with the cargo bike. It is concluded that, although this mode of transport is an important logistics tool for the retail trade, working conditions are precarious. Furthermore, despite the sustainable competitive advantages, the management of urban mobility still does not consider the cargo bike in the planning even in the daily life of the city. / CAPES: 9183/2012 Bicicleta cargueira Frete urbano Mobilidade urbana Transporte.

5	The Impact of Cargo Bikes on the Travel Patterns of Women Schwartz, Jana E 01 June 2016 (has links) There are a number of issues preventing the rollout of cargo bikes as a transportation mode in the United States. One concern that has been raised is whether cargo bikes can function as a gender equitable transportation solution in the United States, given documented gender gaps in national bike riding statistics and ongoing inequities in childcare in 2-parent heterosexual households. The research is aimed at reviewing the practicality, enjoyment, and outcome of cargo bike use as a gender equitable transportation solution. This research contributes to new knowledge in gender equitable transportation in 2 ways — a) gender-focused analysis of survey data regarding cargo bikes use; b) extended open-ended interviews with mothers with cargo bikes. Qualitative and quantitative data from surveys and interviews explore the influence of cargo bikes on transportation patterns and follow how behavior, attitude, spatial context, and perception varies between riders. Specific attention is given to the use of cargo bikes by women with children, as this demographic represents a minority group in the bicycle community and a group who could benefit most from the capabilities of a cargo bike design. Research shows, mothers spend more hours a day around their children and take part in more child-related activities. Therefore, the comfort and feasibility of the cargo bike for women with children becomes the topic of exploration to determine whether this mode type is a functional substitution for trips usually made by an automobile. Through the collection of a nation-wide survey of cargo bike riders and in-person interviews with mothers in San Luis Obispo, CA who currently use a cargo bike to transport their children and goods, the research assesses the travel patterns of women and the emotional and physical benefits cargo bikes can provide to this specific demographic. Results show that benefits of cargo bike use include boding opportunities with children and a more enjoyable commute, while barriers to use include ill-performing bicycle infrastructure and time allocation for trips made by the cargo bike, in comparison to the automobile. Mode substitution behavior from the automobile to the cargo bike is geographically and culturally specific, but as results from both parts of the study show, women are receptive to cargo bike use and demonstrate a powerful demographic that has the potential to influence the travel patterns of current and future commuters to shift away from automobile dependency. cargo bike women mothers mode choice perception of safety gender differences Urban, Community and Regional Planning Urban Studies and Planning Women's Studies
6	Pedaling towards a sustainable future: lessons Learned from Cargo Bike Pool Operators in Sweden Brandon David, Kvist January 2023 (has links) This study examines the impact and potential of cargo bikes as socio-economically and ecologically beneficial modes of transportation. It focuses on the perspectives of cargo bike pool members and the challenges faced by pool operators. Three interviews were conducted with cargo bike pool operators in Sweden to understand the challenges and considerations involved in establishing and operating a pooling service, as well as their opinions on its financial future. Additionally, a user survey targeting pool members from one of the interviewed operators was conducted in 2020. The survey investigated user barriers, motivations, opinions towards the pooling service, and its effect on user mobility habits before and after joining. Although the acceptance and utilization of these services depend on factors such as proximity, pricing, availability, quality, and convenience of the service. The findings show that pooling services increase member interest in owning and using cargo bikes as a replacement for cars. However, concerns regarding the marketability of cargo-bike pools alone are raised in this study, thus, to enhance the attractiveness of cargo-bike pools, this study suggests incorporating additional modes of transportation, offering supplementary value propositions, and ensuring a user-friendly experience. On the operator side, this study highlights the importance of stakeholder collaboration in maximizing the potential of cargo bike pools for sustainable transportation enabling resource sharing, and marketing efforts, and improving the overall service by leveraging financial, spatial, and logistical benefits. Finally, this study finds that the current state of cargo bike pools necessitates collaboration and subsidies from municipalities and stakeholders. Suggesting innovations in business models and increased marketing strategies that capture a broader demographic through an enhanced value proposition that includes other forms of modality and benefits in their services, are vital for the growth of cargo biking through pooling systems. The research provides insights for prospective operators in establishing and operating cargo bike pools, emphasizing considerations related to the physical layout, financial aspects, marketing, and value proposition of the service and has broader implications in how to encourage more sustainable mobility practices. cargo bikes sharing services cargo-bike pools sustainable mobility lastcyklar delningstjänster lastcykelpooler hållbar mobilitet Human Geography Kulturgeografi
7	Analyzing the impacts of last mile mobility and studying the implementation of alternative vehicles in Swedish cities. Mota Lozano, David January 2022 (has links) The growing population of cities and the rise of e-commerce are increasing the transportation of both goods and people. This can generate problems such as traffic jams, increased pollution, and lower living standards for citizens. To reduce the negative impacts, a change in last mile mobility could be made, replacing traditional combustion vehicles with electric ones or, ideally, with bikes and cargo bikes. This thesis examines the case of the Swedish cities of Gävle and Uppsala, trying to explain how the last mile affects the lives of their inhabitants, if and why electric vehicles and cargo bikes are implemented (or not), and how authorities can promote their use. For this purpose, after a literature review, some questions were developed, and seven city managers were interviewed: five from Gävle and two from Uppsala. The study shows that city managers are aware of the impacts that the last mile, and mobility in general, has on its inhabitants, and of the need for a shift towards a more sustainable mobility. Despite this awareness, policy makers are not doing everything possible to accelerate the transition. According to city managers, both the public and private sector advocate more for a change of energy source (from combustion to electric vehicles) rather than a model change using bikes. In addition, the study shows the opportunities that the new model based on non-traditional vehicles can offer and the barriers that prevent its implementation. Finally, different measures that could make cities more sustainable are proposed. Environmental Management Miljöledning
8	Applying strategic design to stand out in the cargo bike market. : Development of a cargo bike for non-cargo bike people. / Tillämpning av strategisk design för att sticka ut på lastcykelmarknaden. : Utveckling av en lastcykel för lastcykelskeptiska. Mikkelsen, Anna, Wernberg, Moa January 2019 (has links) This report presents a master’s degree project in Integrated Product Design at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, on behalf of the company Rawbike. The purpose was tod evelop a design and construction proposal for a cargo bike from a strategic market perspective, that could broaden the audience of Rawbike to include more female users. The Rawhauler is a powerful cargo bike with attitude for those who need an agile, multifunctional and modular cargo solution. The Rawhauler makes it possible to carry heavyloads and climb the steepest of hills while having a pleasant biking experience in crowded commuter traffic. Literature studies and strategic tools were used to design a branding strategy where a smallcompany like Rawbike can develop a strong brand to stand out in the crowd. User centredstudies were conducted to ensure a product well adapted to the needs and wants of its users. The insights gained from these two fields were then used to develop a competitive concept thatboth extended the existing portfolio and appealed to the whole Rawbike community, regardlessof gender. / I denna rapport redovisas ett examensarbete på mastersnivå inom utbildningen Teknisk Design på Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan i Stockholm, på uppdrag av företaget Rawbike. Syftet med projektarbetet var att skapa ett marknadsstrategiskt design- och konstruktionsförslag på en lastcykel som skulle kunna bredda Rawbikes befintliga publik och inkludera fler kvinnliga användare.

It also submits a proposal for a part within Västerås city zone 1 where curbside car park can be replaced. Method: An external analysis containing a questionnaire study, interviews with experts in municipalities in 4 other selected cities, Örebro, Uppsala, Gent and Copenhagen combined with a literature study and a case study of the city of Västerås parkingzone 1 was performed. All material were collected to analyze how to design and were to place parkings for ecological environmentally friendly vehicles. Results: The results shows that a lot can be done in Västerås in terms of parking. The design and layout must include more types of vehicles as well as better amenities and security. This study gives suggestions and example of how to design and plan parkingspace for the future. Conclusions: The conclusion is that there are factors that slows the process down. The knowledge is great with the planners department but the information and knowledge in the population is lacking as well as the will and determination at the municipal politicians. There is also an architectural aspect on the shaping of parkings that don’t follow the user ́s needs. Another conclusion is that a wider variety of parking is needed in the future.

10	Das E-Lastenrad als Alternative im städtischen Wirtschaftsverkehr. Determinanten der Nutzung eines „neuen alten“ Fahrzeugkonzepts Gruber, Johannes 05 March 2021 (has links) Elektrifizierte Lastenfahrräder werden als ein Lösungsansatz für die wachsenden Herausforderungen des städtischen Wirtschaftsverkehrs gesehen. Fokus dieser Arbeit ist eine Abschätzung des Einsatzpotenzials dieses Fahrzeugkonzepts unter Betrachtung von konzeptionellen, verkehrlichen und wirtschaftlichen Aspekten. Als kumulative Dissertation enthält sie fünf Fachartikel, gruppiert zu drei Forschungsbeiträgen. Im ersten Forschungsbeitrag wird erörtert, wie erfolgversprechend das E-Lastenrad, eine Neuauflage des alten Konzepts Lastenfahrrad, in einem Markt mit ersten Anwendern (Kurierdienstleistung) ist. Die Auftragsstruktur im Stadtkuriergeschäft bietet ein substanzielles Marktpotenzial für E-Lastenräder, allerdings erschwert die Positionierung zwischen zwei etablierten Modi (Pkw und Fahrrad) den Markteintritt. Der zweite Teil der Analyse weitet den Blick auf alle Branchen und bietet eine strukturierte Beschreibung der verschiedenartigen Einflussfaktoren (Treiber und Hemmnisse), die auf die Lastenradnutzung im städtischen Wirtschaftsverkehr wirken. Als relevante Entscheidungskriterien konnten identifiziert werden: fahrzeugseitige Aspekte, Strukturen und Prozesse des adoptierenden Unternehmens, Einstellungen der Entscheider*innen, weiche Faktoren sowie regulative und räumliche Rahmenbedingungen. Der dritte Beitrag thematisiert die operative Eignung des E-Lastenrads, indem seine Fahrtzeiten einem Pkw gegenübergestellt werden. Bei Strecken bis zu 3 km sind beide Modi nahezu gleich schnell. Die Hälfte aller Fahrten bis 20 km Distanz würde bei einem Wechsel vom Pkw zum Lastenrad höchstens 2–10 min länger dauern (ohne Berücksichtigung der Parksuchzeit). Bereits kleine Änderungen an den Verkehrsbedingungen könnten noch bestehende Vorteile des Pkw spürbar verringern. Insgesamt erweitert die Arbeit maßgeblich das Wissen zu einem „neuen alten“ Fahrzeugkonzept, dem ein Potenzial zur Auflösung von bislang auf das Automobil hin ausgerichteten Systemen beigemessen wird. / Shifting trips to electric cargo bikes is one possible solution to deal with the growing challenges of urban commercial transport. This thesis combines conceptual, transport-related, and economic aspects as a foundation to assess the feasibility of this vehicle concept for freight and service trips. It contains five scientific papers, which provide three research contributions. The first contribution identifies the potentials of electric cargo bikes among first users (i.e., courier logistics services). Electric cargo bikes are an updated and re-envisioned version of freight bicycles. The features of point-to-point courier logistics assignments offer a substantial market opportunity for electric cargo bikes. However, being positioned between two established modes (i.e., car and bicycle) handicaps the market entry of cargo bikes. For the second contribution, the scope was widened to include all business sectors. A structured description is presented of the various determinants (i.e., drivers and barriers) affecting commercial cargo bike use. Among these were vehicle-specific factors, structures and practices of the company, attitudes of decision-makers, soft factors, regulatory frameworks, and spatial conditions. The third contribution explores the travel time differences between electric cargo bikes and cars for commercial trips. For trip distances of up to 3 kilometers, the travel times of both modes largely overlap. Half of all trips up to 20 kilometers would take only a maximum of 2 to 10 minutes longer by electric cargo bike (excluding the additional time for finding a parking spot). Small modifications in traffic could have considerable effects in reducing the current travel time advantages of cars. Consequently, this dissertation contributes towards the state-of-research by expanding the scientific knowledge of a type of vehicle that has the potential to disrupt car-dependent transportation systems.
