The promotion of cycling is of great importance for fostering sustainable and healthy modes of transport in urban areas. For this reason, many cities around the world organize biking competitions in order to motivate citizens to commute by bike. The success of such campaigns appears to demonstrate the positive effects of using playful settings for...
Cycling is an essential transport mode in a well-balanced urban transportation system. While most approaches for achieving an increase from today’s usually low levels of biking are focusing mainly on infrastructure measures and policies, this study presents the effects of the Biking Tourney, a bike commuting challenge between 14 companies aiming at...
Cycling is promoted by a variety of initiatives and events all around the world. Given the popularity of such campaigns, there is surprisingly limited literature assessing their effectiveness and investigating the involved social processes. This paper presents findings from two case studies of gamified biking initiatives which have been evaluated u...
This paper explores three persuasive strategies and their capacity to encourage biking as a low-energy mode of transportation. The strategies were designed based on: (I) triggering messages that harness social influence to facilitate more frequent biking, (II) a virtual bike tutorial to increase biker's self-efficacy for urban biking, and (III) an...
This thesis is an investigation into the design methodologies and ideologies of manufacturing processes specifically related to automotive design. The conceptualization, prototyping, testing, and manufacturing of cars is a discipline that would yield exciting results if applied to architecture. The hybridization of different processes of design wil...
Developing a design methodology that accounts for system- and component-level parameters in the design of products is a challenge for design and manufacturing organizations. Designed products like automobiles, personal electronics, mass-customized homes, and apparel follow design processes that have evolved over time into compartmentalized approach...

... For example, studies analyzed the effects of defaults to promote green online product purchases (Taube & Vetter, 2019) or energy savings (Loock et al., 2013). In the mobility context, defaults have been used to raise travelers' awareness of the environmental impact of their transportation choices (Froehlich et al., 2010;Sanguinetti et al., 2017), rethink their transportation habits (Anagnostopoulou et al., 2020), and reduce private car use (Lieberoth et al., 2018;Wunsch et al., 2015). Moreover, Székely et al. (2016) used default settings to encourage carbon offset payments for flight bookings successfully. ...

... In addition to being beneficial for the employee, workplace-based cycling interventions may provide benefits to the employer, including increased productivity (36) and reduced absenteeism (37). Whilst a number of workplace cycling initiatives have been trialed, many have focused on single components, such as cycle reward schemes (37), salarysacrifice cycle purchase schemes (38), cycle challenges (39), or one-off cycle events (40). Few workplace initiatives have adopted an integrative approach, targeting both individual and social barriers to cycling over a consolidated period of time, which is likely to be necessary to maximize effectiveness given that most people report multiple barriers acting at different levels (41). ...
... , frequency (average of daily frequency), overall slope, and period-separated slopes with daily frequency of EMA responses (the bar colored in black). For period-separated slopes, three periods are given: week #1-#6 (day 0-41), week #6-#8 (day [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55], and week #8-#10 (day 56-67). Note that overall slope is introduced from daily frequency, and that period-separated slopes are calculated from daily frequency per week. ...
... Non-infrastructure interventions are also becoming more common, including encouragement programs such as Safe Routes to School , bicycle skills courses (Telfer et al., 2006), bike-to-work programs (Höchli et al., 2019), and open-street events (Cohen et al., 2016). While few studies have directly tested the relationship between non-infrastructure interventions and health, the results of those that have are encouraging (Piatkowski et al., 2015;Rose and Marfurt, 2007;Wunsch et al., 2016). Thus, the continued evolution of bicycle planning offers a wealth of opportunities to evaluate the health impacts of cycling promotion strategies. ...
... Wunsch and colleagues (2015) implemented persuasive strategies in order to encourage biking as low-energy mode of transportation by utilizing recognition (awards based on the number of bike rides), competition (email updates with a leaderboard), cooperation (collective goals), and social comparison (options to compare the number of bike rides with others). They observed an increase in bike sharing for participants receiving the intervention as compared to the control group (Wunsch et al., 2015). ...
... A human designer considers his inspiration (consciously or not) and defines the vehicle shape by free hand (applying some features of predecessors into the new design). 2. The shape is fitted to the correct dimensions with respect to the product's architecture (Chin, 2004). The architecture can be represented by simple shapes defining its volumes and spaces (a package). ...
