Abstract

We explore in which extent the notion of a reconfigurable vehicle, presented as an innovation, is an anticipated need given the current patterns of vehicle occupancy. The main goals of this study are: (i) Identify latent needs towards vehicle purchase choices and use; (ii) Characterize the individual perceptions about car use, in general; (iii) Characterize the individual perceptions about the reconfigurable notion of a vehicle, able to be adapted to daily occupancy requirements. The study is based on data from 4 focus groups. To identify that needs data are analyzed through the QFD VOC. Engineering requirements are translated with HOQ. To explore perceptions data are analyzed using a content analysis methodology with MaxQDA10 software
