Detailed Description

ShareSavaree is a public sharing two wheeler for urban India. Pubic sharing system consists of fleet of vehicle of same type kept at self-serve unmonitored station. User can hire these vehicles from any transit station, may use it for desired duration of time and return the vehicle at any other transit station. This gives user the benefits of private vehicle with no cost of ownership and maintenance by paying the rent of the vehicle . Project explored the sharing systems of bicycle, car and electric bike around the world to arrive at a benchmarked system. This benchmarked system was pertaining to parameters like hire cost, proximity and reach of transit station, availability of vehicle in a transit station, system infrastructure, vehicle redistribution and overall user experience. Scenario of daily office point to point travel in Mumbai City and persona of urban technology oriented user above age of 18 were fixed to arrive at a design brief. Technology survey of personal mobility vehicles and product positioning were explored to arrive at a design. Ideation, exploratory sketches and renders were made and selection of final design was based on the criteria listed in the design brief. Cell phone, as an interface between user and vehicle, was explored to deal with user registration, payment, ticketing, vehicle booking, checking in and out of vehicle, theft and vandalism mitigation, and overall user experience. Vehicular concept and renders were made followed by Alias digital model. 1:3 clay model of concept was sculpted. ShareSavaree makes an attempt to conceptualise a future vehicle which will be used in a sharing system, enabling an alternative means of 'on demand travel', and would ease traffic and environmental problems
