Abstract(s)
O presente projeto de investigação centra-se na área do design de produto e na compreensão
de qual será o resultado da criação de um produto com base na sua evolução histórica, compreensão
das necessidades dos utilizadores, análise de dados provenientes da experimentação direta e
modelação de ideias com inspirações biomiméticas. O sentido desta investigação resulta da
problemática, que pudemos verificar em diversos países, onde o transporte de bens pelo uso de
motociclos, seja profissional ou particular, aparenta ser uma perigosa ação, não só para o condutor,
como também para os demais que circulam nas vias. Ao que apuramos na investigação, os
motociclistas, no seu dia a dia, estão habituados a desenvolverem maneiras criativas de resolver os
problemas que encontram, quando lhes é necessário transportar vários objetos, independente a forma,
o volume, a fragilidade e a quantidade. Pudemos verificar que muitas vezes estas características são
contornadas em termos de cumprimento das regras de circulação e transporte. Procuramos enfrentar
este problema com uma abordagem de investigação e participação direta dos próprios utilizadores.
Para tal, em primeiro lugar, foi realizado um estudo sobre os produtos existentes no mercado para
comparar os seus atributos; em seguida foi realizado um inquérito por questionário de prospeção, para
melhor compreensão das necessidades dos utilizadores e as suas soluções. Com base nos dados
recolhidos na crítica literária prospetada, foram desenvolvidos dois modelos originais e o modelo
placebo, que foram testados através de uma metodologia quantitativa dedicada a concluir se as
propostas de produto que realizamos podem ser consideradas inovadoras. Estes modelos, foram
apresentados aos utilizadores para recolher “user experience data”, dados relacionados com destreza e
saber, em termos da avaliação da performance das bagageiras, para assim se definirem os atributos
fundamentais ao desenho de uma bagageira para motociclos. Para a avaliação das propostas foi
realizado um inquérito por questionário presencial, na concentração de Faro, para os utilizadores
demonstrarem de forma direta a sua apreciação e conhecimentos necessários à nossa investigação. Os
dados foram analisados através da utilização do método misto, qualitativo e quantitativo, e os
resultados obtidos permitiram concluir as características mais importantes a ter em consideração no
desenvolvimento do produto. Por fim, e objeto de todos os dados cruzados na investigação, foi
executado num programa de modelação 3D um esboço da bagageira sob as caraterísticas de torná-la
mais segura e cómoda.
This research project focuses on the area of product design and understanding what the result of creating a product will be based on its historical evolution, understanding user needs, analyzing data from direct experimentation and modeling ideas with biomimetic inspirations. The meaning of this investigation results from the problem, which we were able to verify in other countries, where the transport of goods using a motorcycle, whether professional or private, appears to be a dangerous action, not only for the driver, but also for others that circulate on the roads. From what we found in the investigation, motorcyclists, in their daily lives, are used to developing creative ways to solve the problems they encounter, when they need to transport various objects, regardless of shape, volume, fragility and quantity. We were able to verify that these characteristics are often circumvented in terms of compliance with traffic and transport rules. We embrace this problem with an approach of research and direct participation of the users themselves. To this end, firstly, a study was carried out on the products on the market to compare their attributes; A survey was then carried out using a prospecting questionnaire, to better understand user needs and their solutions. Based on data collected from prospected literary criticism, two motorcycle baggage original models were developed and a placebo model, which were tested using a quantitative methodology dedicated to concluding whether the product proposals we created could be considered new. These models were presented to users in order to collect “user experience data”, data related to dexterity and knowledge, in terms of evaluating the performance of the baggage, in order to define attributes that are fundamental to the design of a baggage for motorcycles. For the evaluation, a survey was carried out using a face-to-face questionnaire, at the Faro concentration, for users to directly share their appreciation and knowledge necessary for our research. The data was analyzed using a mixed method, qualitative and quantitative, and the results obtained allowed us to conclude the most important characteristics to take into account when developing the product. Finally, and subject to all the data crossed in the investigation, a sketch of the product was executed in a 3D modeling program with the aim of making it safer and more comfortable.
