Dual Storage Mobility for Folded and Unfolded Personal Transport
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing mobility solutions, such as Segways and electric kickboards, face challenges with space utilization and theft when used in conjunction with purpose-built vehicles, as they require users' hands for loading and often result in disordered storage, leading to low space efficiency and increased theft risks.
Innovation Solution
A mobility system featuring a first storage unit for storing personal transportation without folding and a second storage unit for folded transportation, both controlled by a controller and informed by a server, which maximizes space utilization and provides secure storage with charging capabilities and identification marks for easy access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If personal transportation is stored without folding, then storage speed and convenience are improved, but space utilization deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The storage system is divided into two distinct storage units: a first storage unit for unfolded personal transportation and a second storage unit for folded personal transportation. This segmentation allows the system to accommodate different storage needs and optimize space utilization while maintaining ease of operation for both storage modes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides dynamic storage options where users can choose between storing personal transportation in unfolded or folded states based on their needs. The controller dynamically manages both storage units, enabling flexible adaptation to different usage scenarios and optimizing both convenience and space utilization.
2Productivity
If personal transportation is piled up in disorder, then loading speed is improved, but space utilization and security deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The storage system segments personal transportation into specific storage zones (first storage unit for unfolded, second storage unit for folded). This segmentation maintains loading speed by providing clear storage destinations while preventing disordered piling, thereby optimizing space utilization and improving security through organized storage.
3Device complexity
If personal transportation is stored without dedicated storage space, then mobility complexity is reduced, but theft risk and space congestion deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The storage units are integrated into the mobility vehicle structure, merging the personal transportation storage function with the mobility system. This integration provides dedicated secure storage space that prevents theft while maintaining relatively simple system complexity through unified control management.
