Vi fick kontakt med ett företag i Halmstad som tidigare haft examensarbeten isammarbete med maskiningenjörsporgrammet på Högskolan i Halmstad. Vidförfrågan om tillgänglighet till ett examensarbete så fick vi ett förslag om attvidareutveckla ett tidigare examensarbete som företaget haft hos sig. Vi närmareundersökningar av examensarbetet så beslutades det om att en hel trailer skullekonstrueras. Vår rapport innefattar våra steg för att ta fram ett koncept till entrailer. Alla de väsentliga stegen vi har tagit beskrivs i rapporten, från idéstadie tillatt man har möjlighet att ta fram en prototyp. Vi har utgått från de regelverk ochstandarder som finns inom ämnet, dessa finns närmare omnämnda i rapporten.Resultatet av examensarbetet är en konceptdesign till en trailer, där vi anser att detfinns möjlighet till vidareutveckling framförallt genom att ta fram en prototyp. / We got in touch with a company in Halmstad with a history of having theises inconnection with the mechanical engineering programs at Halmstad University. Asa response to the availability to a thesis we got a proposal to develop an earlierthesis that the company has had with them. Upon further investigation of thethesis, we decided with the company that a full trailer would be constructed. Ourreport includes our steps to develop a concept design of a trailer. All the essentialsteps we have taken are described in the report, from the conceptual stage to thepoint where you’re able to produce a prototype. We started with the regulationsand standards that exist in the subject, these are closer mentioned in the report.The result of the thesis is a concept design for a trailer, we do believe there isopportunity for further growth, especially through the development of a prototype

Planning is concerned with understanding and relating to the needs of various segments of the population. Thus it is imperative that planners should comprehend the views of any group which falls within their administrative or regulatory jurisdiction. This study has undertaken to examine the attitudes of mobile home owners toward the park in which their mobile home is located. Responses to a questionnaire by 281 residents living in a total of 31 parks were used as the primary source of information. Utilizing multivariate analytical techniques, the study investigated, first, the dimensions involved in mobile home living and, second, the relationship between resident satisfaction and physical and social characteristics of the mobile home park. Physical park characteristics that were examined included: size and age of the mobile home park; services and facilities within the park; size of lots; location of the park. Social characteristics of the park included resident perception of: differences between conventional single family neighborhoods, and mobile home parks; degree of friendliness of park dwellers as compared to residents of other types of neighborhoods; constraints on social interaction outside the park because of distance from other residential neighborhoods and/or community facilities; constraints on social interaction outside the park due to negative attitudes of non-park dwellers. In addition, information concerning attitudes toward rules and regulations as well as the extent of resident interaction within the park was sought out. A number of conclusions emerged from the study which are considered to be useful to planners in making future decisions concerning mobile home parks. These conclusions indicated: the minimum size for development of a satisfactory park; those park features that account significantly for resident satisfaction; the role of the municipality in the development of mobile home parks; the appropriate location for mobile home parks. Finally, a number of questions were raised that were considered to require further research. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of / Graduate

The purpose of this study is to measure the costs of the perceived safety threat from triple trailer operation in Oregon. This is done using the political referendum model of a common non-market valuation technique, contingent valuation. Specifically, the average cost of allowing triples will be found so that comparison with previously estimated benefits will provide a measure of net social welfare associated with triple trailer use. The data were collected through in-person interviews conducted in five regions in Oregon. Questions relating to the respondents' attitudes toward triple trailer trucks, driving experience, education and other demographics were asked. The empirical model estimates the probability that respondents will vote to ban triple trailers. The results of this study suggest that there are concerns about the safety of triple trailer operation. However, there seem to be still greater benefits; a result which is consistent with the recent ballot measure. / Graduation date: 1995
