Project description
We show our designed proposals for inner-city passenger and cargo transportation. The aim of the designs is the innovative design of cargo bikes, trikes, bikes, mini-trucks, boards, trailers, etc. Lightweight construction as well as fatigue strength play a decisive role in vehicle design for the acceptance of the solutions. We combine conceptual design with bionic topology optimization. Therefore the bionic "soft kill option" method according to Claus Mattheck is used. In the affiliated technical course, the students were enabled to independently simulate bionic optimizations with Rhinoceros 3D and the specially created Grasshopper algorithms.
