Campus Shuttle

Campus Shuttle is a mobility concept that connects specific areas, such as universities, company premises, airports or trade fairs. Our mission statement was to create a fusion of an autonomous vehicle with its surrounding architecture.

Making better use of space

Our trend research phase has shown a remarkable inefficiency of transport in big cities. Individual traffic takes up a lot of space. In addition, the number of passenger cars in Germany has grown relatively steadily by half a million vehicles annually over the past two decades, from 450 cars per 1,000 inhabitants in 1998 to 560 cars per 1,000 inhabitants in 2018.

Finding a parking space can be a big challenge, especially in big cities. This is where Campus Shuttle finds its place in everyday life. The concept serves as a "last mile" alternative, connecting specific areas with hubs of public transportation.

The concept

After various design stages, iterations and meetings with the design department at Brose's idea workshop, we decided on the final design. It was very important to us to use a restrained, minimalist design language that communicates surprising features, informative graphics and smartness at the same time.

Implementation

We came up with the original idea of the Campus Shuttle as students at Coburg University of Applied Sciences. The university consists of several remote buildings that can be challenging to reach by foot, especially for students and staff with disabilities.

This is exactly the challenge we took on with our concept vehicle:
Linking extensive areas like universities, company facilities, airports and trade fairs.
