The purpose of this study is to find the implications of body design form factors in future mobility systems by comparing functional changes in major types of mobility, from steam locomotives, internal combustion engine vehicles, and electric powered vehicles. This study began by defining mobility form factors, which are divided into external factors and internal factors. The body design is derived mostly from the internal factors in vehicles, such as power unit, drive unit, and human space. Observation and analysis were conducted on the physical changes in the internal factors of the major types of vehicles. Through such analysis, human space would be more of a deciding factor in future mobility, as well as external factors like human and social factors, such as cultural aspects and usability. These factors would be more important in future mobility body design developments with lesser use of mechanical elements, represented by electric propulsion systems. |
