In this post we will talk about the significance of desing in vehicles and over all how this point of need a designer to save needs of some of the users has been achieved. In that way we can answer next questions in a general way (and in the following posts) “who is going to be transported?”, “how?”, “when?” and “why?”.
Means of transport are those that allow movement of people or goods from a place to another. There are four main means of transports: water, land (roads or paths and railways) and air.
We will talk mainly about move of people (and their goods), not about goods in general, because those are a strong point to be desinged, but it is more interesant for us the ones that use people because we can analize some points like ergonomy. That is because we have to optimize space to the maximum, so we have to think about resource economy, when we have to do the mean of transport and the human activity inside it, as in other important facets like the one we named before, ergonomy or settings.
In that way we can stand out some specific means (that we will treat individually later) in different fields like boats, cars, vans, buses and campers.
As a conclusion we can asume that there is a latent need from people to move, so there are different means that are designed for them. That does not mean that we do not have to continue improving with new desings that try to improve them, maybe with a better enviromental impact or a better ergonomy for the user.
