- W1540938236 abstract "The problems related to transport are reaching unacceptable levels due to congestion, number of accidents with related casualties, pollution, and availability of energy sources. Some small commuter vehicles are already of widespread use, and the steady growth of the number of motorcycles and scooters in the urban areas demonstrates the validity of the lean vehicle approach to solve the problem. Regardless of their advantages, scooters and motorcycles are affected by several drawbacks, the main disadvantage is related to the safety in dynamic conditions and during crash. Moreover two wheeled vehicles do not have an enclosed cockpit to provide protection from the environment, as cold wind, dust and rain. For these reasons the demand of personal mobility vehicles must be satisfied by re-thinking the vehicle itself from the beginning, and basing its design on clearly defined basic general needs. Aim of the present work is to propose a vehicle capable of covering all the different missions typical of a mid size car, including highway and city to city transportation, not confining (limiting) it to the small range usage. The proposed vehicle design starts from the general needs definition. The mobility in urban environment has to deal mainly with the emissions reduction and the parking problems, the first one can be achieved locally by using a powertrain capable of a zero emission mode, and the second by reducing the vehicle size. Moreover the design of a lightweight vehicle allows the pollution reduction also when using an internal combustion engine. Cities are furthermore characterized by uneven or slippery road and high risk of crashes, therefore the vehicle must provide static and dynamic stability, together with crash protection. Sub-urban and extra–urban mobility, intended as the working commuting, are characterized by needs that are different from those of the urban environment. Outside the cities the vehicle must be capable of covering a long distance, with reasonable energy consumption, and of travelling at highway speeds, with a high level of active safety, for this purpose an all wheel drive system can increase the levels of safety. The need of having a closed cockpit to ensure safety and protection, requires a stable position during stops, this leads to the adoption of at least three wheels. To avoid rollover during cornering the vehicle must be able to bank (tilt)." @default.
