With twitch the intensification of competition in the new energy car market, it is particularly important for car enterprises to prepare to grasp the market competition situation and changes. In this paper, by extracting the model comparison information of consumers in online reviews, the competition situation among models is shown through the directed attribute relationship diagram, which is used to point out the shortcomings of the existing research methods of new energy car market competition situation, and propose a new market analysis idea. The results show that when consumers compare models, they break the original market segmentation, cross level and cross field comparison, and there are significant differences in the range of competitive products at different time points, which will help improve the existing market competition situation research methods in the process of serving automobile enterprises in the future.

Car-sharing program, like Car2go, is an innovative urban transportation mode where the car-sharing company provides a car fleet to offer people with the short-term access of car traveling. As a new traveling service, car-sharing platforms have been struggling hard to trigger initial users and speed up their diffusion process. Unlike new product spreading via geographical proximity people, car-sharing users usually drive sharing cars to different destinations and influence people there, and potential user decision also depends on previous user activity at all their destinations. Car-sharing user connections are mainly affected by their traveling behaviors. The influence of user traveling network on new service/product spreading process has been rarely studied before. Here, we find that the infective rate between users with the same destination is critical to the minimum user base of car-sharing diffusion. Moreover, a city with central user network is more appropriate for car-sharing. It leads to a small critical infective rate for diffusion, and a large stable market size of car-sharing service. Our study can impact car-sharing market strategies ranging from market expansion in one city to optimal market selection among different cities.

Full textAbstract:
Since entering the automobile market of our country, although the car has experienced a short market "warm spring", it has not become the mainstream of consumption due to the influence of the traditional concept. In recent years, major car companies have innovated the shape, performance, texture and other aspects of hatchback cars to seek a breakthrough in this market segment. At the same time, with the younger and diversified needs of mainstream consumers, the traditional "bias" of hatchback may be ended by the post-90s generation, and the increasingly rational car consumption will bring new opportunities to the hatchback market. Therefore, combined with the development of the hatchback car market, understanding the characteristics of users and insight into their car purchase needs can provide certain reference for car companies' planning ideas and marketing strategies. Based on desk research, big data analysis, quantitative and qualitative research methods, this study analyzes the development and current situation of the hatchback car market, and gives in-depth insight into the characteristics and needs of hatchback car users.

Full textAbstract:
To improve audit reports' transparency and information content, China implemented new auditing standards in 2017. The standards, which include disclosing key audit matters, were applied to A+H share companies in 2017 and A-share companies in 2018. This paper uses A+H-share companies as the experimental group and A-share companies as the control group and applies the difference-in-differences method to test the market response to the new auditing standards. We find a statistically significant positive cumulative abnormal return (CAR) during the report release event window for the A+H share companies. The results indicate a greater investor reaction to the release of audit reports under the new standards implying that the audit reforms enhanced the information of the reports. Furthermore, the positive CAR indicates that the reports reassured investors that the audit did not reveal significant problems or that existing weaknesses were addressed. We also found a statistically insignificant difference in the volatility of stock prices during the event window for the experimental and control group.

Full textAbstract:
The current rapid development of online car-hailing services creates a serious challenge to the existing paradigm of market governance and antitrust policy. However, the debate on the market structure of the car-hailing platform requires more empirical evidence to uncover its functions. This research adopts an interdisciplinary methodology based on computer science and economics, and including software reverse engineering tools applied to the interoperability of the terminal application and resource allocation model, to demonstrate the topological market structure of personal data resources allocation in China’s car-hailing industry. Within the discussion of the hybrid nature of technology and economy, the analysis results clearly show that China’s car-hailing platform services present a multi-sided market structure when seen from the perspective of personal data resource allocation. Personal data resource (PDR), that is considered an essential market resource, is applied as an asset transferred unhindered between platforms via the application programming interface, and thus, creating a new market allocation mechanism. The connection between the car-hailing platforms and social media platforms is an essential aspect of the market competition in the domain. As applications of online platforms increase in the global context, this research offers a new perspective in personal data resource allocation with implications for the governance of the platform economy.

Being entrepreneurial is pathly being creative. This Master thesis presents a business plan of BEFCO Trading Ltd geared towards solving a problem in the Cameroonian Economy. The English speaking Cameroonians of South West and North West provinces of Cameroon are presently underserved with car sales offerings as there is presently no registered Company in this section of the Country.
An attempt is presently being made through this business plan thanks to the peaceful and favourable circumstances sorrounding the entrepreneurs and the opportunity gap of a niche market. The business plan shows a win to win situation in which the founding entrepreneurs become self employed by solving a problem in the market through novel business combinations.

Full textAbstract:
The researcher's research interest is in the area of integrated marketing communications (IMC), and specifically for the category of products often referred to as 'high involvement goods'. Some service categories could also classified as 'high involvement' in terms of the complexity of the purchasing situation and the time needed for the consumer to reach a purchasing decision. However this thesis is about high involvement products, specifically new cars which have been used as a vehicle for discussion to illustrate the application of the !MC concept to high involvement goods. The author has consulted widely within the relevant IMC literature and also the more contextual literature available on the UK new car market and the sale of new cars within the UK. This more contextual literature has emanated largely from professional bodies such as Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). Having considered the area of interest and gained familiarity with both the conceptual and contextual literature, the researcher had to decide on the appropriate methodology. Given the nature of the research problem and the fact that little was known about the applicability of!MC within the UK new car market, a qualitative, emerging methodology was used. This was based on a Grounded Theory approach which was considered to be the most appropriate and productive way to proceed. The researcher conducted 35 interviews with dealer principals' and sales managers' and hence this work is based largely on the dealer side of the dealer-manufacturer relationship. Interviews were recorded and transcribed. The analysis was conducted using the protocol recommended by Strauss and Corbin (I 990). The researcher found that the concept of IMC is weakly embedded in the retail sector of the UK new car value chain. The reason for this weakness has been established and discussed. The author makes recommendations as to how greater integration can be achieved within this industry. The problems of implementing the recommendations made and the managerial implications of attempting to implement such recommendations are discussed in full. The author's findings have been presented diagrammatically in an industry specific conceptual model showing many of the issues and problems mentioned here. The conceptual diagram is discussed further in the text. Finally the author considers the limitations of the work conducted and makes recommendations for future research. A fully annotated set of interview transcripts are provided in the appendices for the reader's convenience.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse s'inscrit dans le contexte actuel de remise en question de la prépondérance de la voiture particulière dans les déplacements des ménages français. Elle propose d'analyser les ruptures de comportements liées au déploiement de solutions pour mutualiser l'automobile, dans le but de prévoir l'évolution de ses modes d'usage, de son intensité d'usage, ainsi que celle de la motorisation. En premier lieu, nous identifions les nouveaux services de mobilité automobile comme les principaux vecteurs de changement de comportement, nous calculons les potentiels de développement du covoiturage (importants), de l'autopartage et de la location courte durée (restreints), et nous montrons que ces services peuvent permettre de réaliser des économies d'énergie s'ils sont utilisés en remplacement d'un équipement personnel. Dans un second temps, nous nous concentrons sur l'analyse fine des comportements de mobilité dont nous réalisons une segmentation mettant en évidence leurs principaux déterminants. A partir de ces derniers, l'estimation d'un modèle de choix modal montre que des transferts de la voiture personnelle vers les transports en commun ou encore la voiture partagée sont probables à horizon 2020, en cas de démotorisation des ménages. Enfin, nous analysons l'évolution de la motorisation des ménages et montrons des ruptures dans la dynamique générationnelle positive observée dans le passé qui se stabilisera, voire même s'inversera, à horizon 2020. Le marché automobile français sera donc davantage porté par le canal des sociétés (de service notamment) que celui des particuliersThis thesis rises in a context where the automobile supremacy is questioned. It aims at analysing behavioural changes related to the deployment of solutions to pool car, in order to foresee evolution of its modes of use, intensity of use, as well as that of motorization. First, we identify new car mobility services as main vectors of changes in behaviours, we also measure the potential development of carpooling (important), carsharing and short-term car rental (limited), and we end up by showing that these services can achieve energy savings if used as substitute to individual equipment. In a second step, we focus on the analysis of mobility patterns from which we establish a behaviour classification highlighting their main drivers. From these, the estimation of a modal choice model shows that shifts from personal car toward public transport or shared car are likely to 2020, in the case of a decrease in households' motorization level. Thus, we finally analyse the evolution of households' motorization and emphasis a breaking point in the positive generational trends observed in the past, that will know a stagnation if not an inversion to 2020. As a consequence, the evolution of the French car market will tend to be more driven by sales to fleet and business than sales to private

Personliga eldrivna fordon (EV) är ett nytt teknikområde som är på väg att uppnå stort momentum på flera av världens marknader. Eftersom branschen fortfarande ligger i sin linda finns det i nuläget inga tydliga strukturer, som gäller för alla marknader världen över, gällande relationerna mellan aktörer, vilket leder till osäkerheter när det kommer till att ta strategiska beslut. Uppdragsgivaren för denna studie är Hong Kong EV Power Ltd. (EV Power), en Hongkong-baserad leverantör av laddningsstationer för elbilar och relaterade tjänster, som har ambitionen att inträda marknaden på det kinesiska fastlandet inom den närmaste framtiden. Emellertid har EV Power ännu inte bestämt sig vilken stad de vill rikta in sig på i det första skedet. Denna avhandling ämnar formulera en modell som kan användas för att utvärdera och jämföra geografiska marknader med avseende på lämpligheten för ett marknadsinträde av en leverantör av laddningsstationer för elbilar. Dessutom kommer modellen testas på tre städer på kinas fastland (Peking, Shanghai och Shenzhen), med syfte att komma fram till vilken stad som är mest attraktiv för EV Power, samt att utvärdera modellens funktionsduglighet. Sist kommer resultaten från utvärderingen av de tre städerna att tjäna som utgångspunkten för en analys som ämnar ta fram framgångsfaktorer för ett marknadsinträde på kinas fastland. För att uppnå detta har fyra olika datainsamlingsmetoder använts: Först studerades teori, med syfte att få bakgrundskunskap likväl som att få förståelse för specifika faktorer som påverkar ett marknadsinträde som detta. För det andra observerades EV Powers nuvarande verksamhet i Hong Kong, i avsikt att förstå vad som har lett till den framgång som företaget upplevt på sin hemmamarknad. För det tredje intervjuades branschexperter för att få ett perspektiv på branschen som helhet. Sist samlades sekundär data kring de tre städerna in, för att kunna utvärdera de olika faktorerna som ingår i den framtagna modellen. Den slutgiltiga modellen består av fem faktorer som påverkar en stads attraktivitet för ett marknadsinträde av en leverantör av laddningsstationer för elbilar. De identifierade faktorerna är: ’Marknadens tillgänglighet’, ’Kortsiktig efterfrågan’, ’Förväntad marknadsandel’, ’Vinstmarginal’ och ’Långsiktig produktpotential’. Dessa faktorer är i sin tur indelade i subfaktorer som har sina egna uppsättningar av drivare. Efter att ha använt modellen för att utvärdera de tre städerna konstaterades det att Shanghai är den lämpligaste staden för ett marknadsinträde av EV Power, främst på grund av stadens dominans på marknaden för privatanvända elbilar och ett gynnsamt regelverk. Slutligen hittades tre framgångsfaktorer för ett sådant inträde: ’Fokusera på tjänster’, ’Bibehåll partner-relationer’ och ’Inträd tidigt’.Personal electric vehicles (EV) is an emerging technology that has gained much momentum in several markets during the past decade, and China is currently one of the markets where the growth in EV sales is the highest. Since the industry is still in its infancy, there are currently no clear structures regarding the relationships between different actors that apply to all markets globally, leading to great uncertainty in strategic decisions. The commissioner of this study is Hong Kong EV Power Ltd. (EV Power), a producer of EV supply equipment (EVSE) and related services in Hong Kong, which aspires to enter the Chinese mainland in the near future. However, EV Power has yet to decide which city they want to target first. This thesis aims to formulate a model that can be used to evaluate and compare geographic markets for a market entry by an EVSE company. Furthermore, the model is tested on three cities in Mainland China (Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen), in order to derive the most attractive city for EV Power and to evaluate the adequacy of the model. Lastly, with the results from the city evaluation, as a point of departure, success factors for an entry into Mainland China by the commissioning company will be summarized. In order to achieve this objective, four distinct data collection methods have been used: First, theory was studied, in order to gain background knowledge as well as to understand specific factors that impact a market entry decision such as this. Second, EV Power’s current business in Hong Kong was observed, with a view to achieve an understanding of what has led the company to experience success in its home market. Third, Interviews with industry experts were conducted, so as to get a perspective on the industry as a whole. Fourth and last, secondary data for the different cities was collected, for the sake of evaluating them according to the developed model. The final model consists of five main factors that encompass the elements that influence a cities level of attractiveness for entry by an EV charging station supplier. The identified factors are: ‘Market accessibility’, ‘Short-term demand’, ‘Expected market share’, ‘Profit margin’, and ‘Long-term product potential’. These factors are in turn divided into sub factors that have their own set of drivers. Using the model to evaluate the cities, it was found that Shanghai is the most suitable city for a market entry by EV Power, mainly due to its dominance in the market for private EVs and a favourable regulatory environment. Finally, three main success factors, for such a market entry, were found: ‘Focus on services’, ‘Maintain partner relationships’, and ‘Enter early’.

In recent years, gas price in Taiwan has been fluctuating greatly under the influence of international natural gas prices. Besides, in the past years, on the demand side of our new car market, only a few studies have been done considering the auto sale prices, fuel consumption, and auto characteristics. The purpose of this study is to explore when buying cars, will consumers pay more attention to the fuel efficiency of the model than other car features, as well as the relationship among gas price, car price, and the demand of cars. A nested logit model was developed based on discrete choice model, in which the data of the auto sales, observable features, and the gas prices during the period from 1997 to 2011 were used to estimate the consumers’ preference toward the demand of different products. The research findings include: first, when the gas price goes up, the fuel consumption per mile will rise, which will lead to the falling of the car sale. This also indicates the consumers’ sensitivity toward the changes of the gas price. Secondly, the negative correlation between fuel efficiency and car features reveals that consumers’ preference toward the weight of the car is significant. Nevertheless, no evidence can support that the horse power of the car will significantly affect the car sale. Finally, the average price elasticity of auto demand in Taiwan is up to -4.12, which is higher than that of the American auto market. This also indicates that consumers in Taiwan are highly sensitive to auto prices, and there is a keen competition in the local auto market.

This paper examines the properties of the perfect Bayesian Nash equilibrium or equilibria in a model where the new car market coexists with the lemon market which has adverse selection problems. Under such a setting, it is shown that the price of a new car will be affected indirectly by the problems of adverse selection in the lemon market.

Full textAbstract:
University of Technology, Sydney. Faculty of Business.This thesis examines the concept of differential advantage and its relevance to the formulation of marketing strategy. It compares the model of market share determination, based on the possession of differential advantages in marketing mix variables, with one based on the concept of marketing effort. The two models are examined using data on new passenger car registrations collected from Idaps and Paxus1 respectively, media spend from Bruce Tart and Associates, and later AIM Data2, car dealerships from the Telecom Yellow Pages, and car models and new passenger car prices from Wheels Magazine, for the period 1983 to 1993. The above data was corroborated, where possible, by means of authoritative sources in the motor car industry in Australia. The theory of market share determination, based on share of marketing effort is an attractive one. This thesis finds that the relationship between market share3 and share of marketing effort is positive, consistent and statistically significant. It confirms the place of marketing effort as a model of market share determination in the marketing literature. Differential advantage is an index of competitive activity that is calculated by subtracting concurrent market share from share of marketing effort. The proposition, advanced by Cook and Rothberg (1990), is that increasing amounts of differential advantage are positively related to increasing levels of market share. This thesis does not support this proposition. At an overall level of analysis, the relationship between market share and differential advantage is a negative one. Only when a subset analysis is done, for small car makers, is there a weak but statistically significant and positive relationship between market share and differential advantage. The overall negative relationship between market share and differential advantage may be explained in part by the economic uncertainty of a boom and economic recession during the period under consideration in this thesis. A further possible explanation is that the data may not have captured fully the relationship between market share and differential advantage. The data examined the relationship between market share and differential advantage with only four independent variables. A larger number of independent variables, or different ones, may have described the relationship more effectively. Such data was not available. A more fundamental conclusion that is supported by this thesis is that successful competitive strategy simply does not require share of marketing investments to be greater than concurrent market share. The place of differential advantage in the formulation of marketing strategy is questioned. This thesis supports the value of competitive marketing effort in the formulation of marketing strategy.

Peugeot, acting in the automobile sector, represents about 9,5% of the Portuguese
passengers car market. This market is characterized by representing risky and
planned acquisitions and usually with many influencers throughout the buying
process in order to lower the risk to the buyer.
In 2013, after the verified crisis in the automobile sector in terms of sales, the group
was conducted to a new strategy – ‘Back In The Race’ – described by a repositioning
of the already existing brands – Citroen and Peugeot – and the separation to an
independent brand – DS. This strategy regards Peugeot as the premium generalist
brand of the group and Citroen as the pure generalist one, the most affordable
brand.
In order to illustrate this Peugeot’s new strategy, some actions had to be thought to
communicate it. So, some ideas were discussed to understand what was the best
solution to implement, and engage people.A Peugeot, marca que atua no sector automóvel, representa cerca de 9,5% do mercado de ligeiros de passageiros no mercado Português. Este é o um mercado que se caracteriza por representar compras de alto risco, compras planeadas e normalmente com um grande número de influenciadores para que o risco da compra seja o menor possível para o comprador. No ano de 2013, já depois de ultrapassada uma das piores eras em termos de vendas no setor automóvel, o Grupo foi conduzido para uma nova estratégia – ‘Back In The Race’ – que se caracteriza pelo reposicionamento das marcas já existentes do grupo – Citroen e Peugeot – e a separação para marca independente da marca DS. Este reposicionamento visa a Peugeot a ser a marca generalista do grupo e a Citroen a ‘marca de entrada’ do grupo, percebida como a marca mais acessível. Para ilustrar esta estratégia de reposicionamento da Peugeot, algumas ações de marketing tiveram que ser pensadas para ser comunicada. Como tal, algumas ações foram discutidas para se saber qual seria a mais eficaz e diferenciadora, de forma a envolver os consumidores com a marca.

Full textAbstract:
The monograph discusses theoretical and practical issues related to the completion of the implementation of the introduction of new forms of ownership in the formation of the railway holding JSC "Russian Railways". The organizational and economic results of the structural reform of railway transport in Russia are analyzed in comparison with the experience of modern reform of foreign railway transport. The variants of transformation of the modern cargo transportation management system in the new economic conditions are proposed.
The main results of the study of modern economic and organizational conditions of cargo transportation, taking into account the specifics of working with a private car fleet, are presented. Based on a large-scale analysis of the loading dynamics of the main directions of the Russian Railways network and the resulting unevenness of operational work, new approaches are proposed for the formation of the market of freight operators of rolling stock.
An economic assessment of the implementation of scenario options for the introduction of technological outsourcing is given on the example of JSC "Federal Freight Company" with the justification of a methodological approach for the formation of a consolidated fleet of wagons based
on the algorithm of the cost method for calculating the throughput during the consolidation of a fleet of freight wagons.
For practitioners and researchers involved in cargo transportation management, forecasting and formation of private fleets of freight cars. It will be useful for graduate students, undergraduates and students of economic faculties of railway universities when studying courses in the economics of railway transport and the cost of freight transportation.

Full textAbstract:
This book looks at local drug manufacturing in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, from the early 1980s to the present, to understand the impact of foreign aid on industrial development. While foreign aid has been attacked by critics as wasteful, counterproductive, or exploitative, this book makes a clear case for the effectiveness of what it terms “developmental foreign aid.” Against the backdrop of Africa’s pursuit of economic self-sufficiency, the battle against AIDS and malaria, and bitter negotiations over affordable drugs, the book offers an important corrective to popular views on foreign aid and development. It shows that when foreign aid has provided markets, monitoring, and mentoring, it has supported the emergence and upgrading of local production. In instances where donors were willing to procure local drugs, they created new markets that gave local entrepreneurs an incentive to produce new types of drugs. In turn, when donors enforced exacting standards as a condition to access those markets, they gave these producers an incentive to improve quality standards. And where technical know-how was not readily available and donors provided mentoring, local producers received the guidance necessary for improving production processes. Without losing sight of domestic political-economic conditions, historical legacies, and foreign aid’s own internal contradictions, the book presents new insights into the conditions under which foreign aid can be effective.

AbstractThis chapter analyses the trajectory of the Indian small car, the Tata Nano. When launched by the manufacturer Tata Motors as a new Indian ‘people’s car’ in 2008, the Nano was widely predicted to revolutionise automobility in India. Yet it barely made an impact on the Indian car market, and production was phased out just a decade after the first Nano had hit the Indian roads. By analysing the changing popular representations and symbolic imaginaries that attach to the car as a means to mobility and an object of identity and social status, we argue that the Nano failed neither because it was mediocre, nor because it remained economically out of reach for most Indians. Rather, its insertion into the lower ranks of a powerful status hierarchy of identity-defining objects precluded it from adequately tapping into new and hegemonic forms of middle-class consumer aspiration in ‘New India’, thereby leaving the people’s car without ‘a people’.

AbstractThe car industry faces some extreme challenges. Alongside the key task that we face of making individual transport climate-neutral, and alongside the new technological opportunities for communication and networking across our whole environment, it is clear that the user behavior of vehicle drivers and of all other road users is also going to change. Bearing all these aspects in mind, our overriding goal remains to make the traffic on our roads safer. Many of the activities in this context are summarized in the Mercedes-Benz “Vision of accident-free driving.” The current plateauing of road fatality statistics across the countries of the West is a clear signal that we need to intensify our efforts even further. And indeed, there are still plenty of levers that can be applied in order to optimize and improve these figures.Following a review of the current situation from the perspective of Mercedes-Benz, the opportunities for further optimization of vehicle safety are now presented in the guise of the latest Experimental Safety Vehicle, ESF 2019, which above all addresses the new possibilities offered by increasing connectivity and automation. Many of the innovative concepts under consideration have a chance of reaching the market in future vehicles, either as they are or in a modified form; in other cases the discussion around them will lead to new ideas and proposed solutions.The Integral Safety Strategy by Mercedes-Benz is a holistic approach that defines safety in four phases: (1) safe driving, (2) assisting in a critical driving situation with accident prevention systems and anticipatory protection elements such as PRE-SAFE® systems, (3) during a crash, for example, occupant and partner protection, and, finally, (4) after a crash, deploy systems for the rescue phase. All four phases must be high priorities during the development of the vehicle.Even with an optimistic view of the vehicle-based opportunities, this chapter will demonstrate that vehicle measures alone will not be sufficient to solve all traffic safety issues, as road transportation is just too complex. All the factors that impact road safety, and which will need to play their part in delivering “Vision Zero,” must be addressed; in other words, infrastructural measures and people in traffic, too. As with the Mercedes-Benz strategy of Integral Safety, we shall only be able to make major advances toward “Vision Zero” if all influencing factors are properly investigated as part of an integrated examination of road safety.

AbstractState-of-the-art cars are increasingly becoming computers on wheels, constantly collecting, storing, and transmitting data. This goes hand in hand with better market opportunities for certain service providers with access to the data.There is still no clear legal regulation on who the customer can share their data with—and in what way—nor how transparency and security can be guaranteed for such data in the process. Without legal regulation of data access, there will be no way to ensure a level playing field among providers and freedom of choice for consumers in the future.Three basic principles apply to the access to vehicle data: Third-party service providers should be able to develop new services without depending on car manufacturers. Independent service providers, such as independent workshops, insurers, and automobile clubs, should be able to reach customers through the same channels as the vehicle manufacturers. Vehicle manufacturers should not be allowed to monitor vehicle users or the service providers selected by vehicle owners.

Christiane Meierkord and Bebwa Isingoma analyse the lexicopragmatic elements in current Ugandan English, stemming from its earlier status when the country was a British protectorate, and now as the medium of instruction in secondary and higher education. The authors detail the mix of colonial and indigenous elements found in interpersonal and discourse markers in the ICE-Uganda corpus and the Web-UG corpus compiled from websites and blogs. Despite the elaborate tradition of greetings in African cultures, those they found in the two Uganda corpora were applications of conventional English ‘Welcome’. Few indigenous examples of address terms were found in Web-UG and written data from ICE, showing signs of language contact in the multilingual speech community. Better evidence of contact was found in 9 indigenous discourse markers in the internet data and spoken ICE data, with various interpersonal functions to express individual attitudes (surprise or scepticism), or else to criticise or elicit empathy from listeners or readers. They show how non-English discourse markers can be taken up into an indigenised English in East Africa without drawing attention to themselves.

We describe how Copenhagen promotes alternatives to cars, especially through cycling but also with public transit and for pedestrians. By contrast, Houston is in thrall to sprawl, and the transportation network is almost totally built for private car ridership. The second section focuses on differences in housing, particularly with constraints and opportunities in the owning and renting markets in each city. We also discuss the land-use patterns, particularly each city’s commitment (or lack thereof) to urban planning. We conclude by discussing how the cities plan for their waterways.

Full textAbstract:
Retail real estate analysis is the most well developed, complex and technological of any of the other real estate product categories. This chapter begins with a review of the background literature. Real estate market analysis has been performed for retail longer than for any other category. Unlike medicine, in which some practices, such as bleeding a patient, have become obsolete, no major method that has been widely adopted by the industry during the past 100 years has subsequently gone out of use. Instead, these methods have been modified and incorporated into contemporary analysis and technology. This chapter next proceeds to the macro level with a presentation of how a real estate location strategy is developed for a large, multibranch retail chain. Afterward, a brief discussion of the micro-level strategy is presented following the four steps introduced in the preceding chapters. The methods, technology, and analysis of the four steps for retail real estate have already been presented in chapter 4. Because the retail side has been such a pioneer, methods developed for retail ultimately find use, with some modification, in real estate market analysis of all the other real estate product categories; hence, the four steps were presented as part of the general methods of chapter 4. It has always been the case that certain locations for retail activities offer distinct advantages over other locations. But knowing which locations were best has not al-ways been the complex task it is today. Until the late nineteenth century, the retail location decision was quite simple: always locate at the downtown commercial node. Changes in transportation technology increased the geographic range of the individual household. Each successive transportation era brought increasing geodemographic complexity to the city. The eras of transportation can be broken down by transportation mode: . . . First, households relied primarily on walking from home to work to shopping. Second, for some of the larger cities, the trolley car and other innovations in public transit brought an increased geographic reach of the average household. Third, the personal automobile allowed many households to move beyond the limited corridors of public transit.

Abstract This paper presents an exergy-based sustainability analysis of manufacturing roof tiles from plastic waste in Uganda. Exergy analyses measure the sustainability of industrial processes. This work focuses specifically on the developing country context and on utilizing waste material. A summary of the current plastic waste situation in Uganda, the environmental and health issues associated with plastic waste, current means of recycling plastic waste into new products, and an analysis of the Ugandan roofing market are presented. The motivation for this study is to examine the resources utilized to improve overall exergy efficiency, reduce production costs, and reduce negative environmental impacts. The company, Resintile, is the only manufacturer of roof tiles from plastic waste in Uganda. Their tiles comprised mainly of sand and plastic waste are manufactured in an industrialized process involving drying, extrusion, and pressing. The exergy consumed at each stage including transportation is presented. The extruder consumes the majority of the exergy, but wrapping insulation around the barrel could save over 3 MJ, and a heat engine could provide over 7.5 MJ of usable exergy. The total exergy consumed to produce one batch of seventy-five tiles is over 122 MJ, the potentially recoverable exergy is over 5 MJ (4.3% of consumed exergy), and the realistic recoverable exergy is nearly 10.7 MJ (8.7% of consumed exergy). The realistic can be greater than the potential by adding a heat engine to the sand drying process to generate usable exergy rather than merely recover consumed exergy. Resintile’s plastic roof tiles save a net 86.3 kg of CO2 from entering the atmosphere per batch of tiles and adoption of the suggested improvements to the manufacturing process would save an additional 3.8 kg of CO2 per batch.

This article concerns to a current research that aims to develop and implement processes of analysis focusing on design, in particular with regard to the identification, study and the redefinition of new concepts for the automotive segmentation. The project also intends to identify the types most widely sold in Portugal from 1990 to 2013 and produce knowledge in the area of automotive design according to the characteristics and preferences of Portuguese drivers, mainly focusing on the user with the license under the age of 30. The user segmentation versus the automobile segmentation must be approached by common indicators, unlimited by technical terms non consistent with the Portuguese market, to its function and its user. Portugal offers good conditions suiting as a "living laboratory" to experience new mobility concepts. The small size of the territory is combined with the Portuguese willingness for innovation, gathering the ingredients to make of Portugal as a trial area and experimentation (Pinto, 2011). The analysis model centered on design aims to blur the technical barriers of the segmentation imposed by the several entities in the automotive sector and to produce a matrix more flexible and accessible to the user's knowledge, understanding and to its needs at the time of purchase.

Designing a marketable automobile for target markets is an important challenge in the globalized market environment. What makes the vehicle planning even more challenging includes various factors such as engineering feasibility, change of market environment, enforced regulations, and ongoing advancement of technology. In this circumstance, the complexity of automobile design arises from the fact that both the target market’s customer preferences and engineering characteristics should be taken into account in balanced as well as quantitative manners. This paper develops a balanced model for determining vehicle-level specifications for a new car program of an automaker considering both the customer preferences on attributes and the engineering characteristics with design constraints. The proposed model takes into account the interrelation of specifications, advancement of technology, vehicle style concepts, and customer preference changes influenced by the fluctuation of market environments. The major vehicle-level specifications of the next-generation automobile model are determined by maximizing the marketability of an auto with meeting the constructed design constraints. The model was validated with the existing mid-size sedans in the U.S. market.

Full textAbstract:
With the first serial production of a hydrogen fuel cell car announced to enter the market in 2015, there is a prospective mass market for mobile pressure vessel applications. In automotive applications three factors are mainly decisive for a successful integration: low weight, a competitive price range and a safe operation implementation. Composite vessels can fulfill these demands. State-of-the art for the production of the composite structure is wet-filament winding. It is well established for smaller production volumes. However the potential of rise in output is limited. In filament winding only a limited number of usually 1–10 fibres is layed onto a mandrel at once. Braiding in comparison allows the simultaneously deposition of a multitude of fibres, standard machinery allow braiding of more than 200 fibres. A filament wound composite structure lacks fracture resistance under certain load cases. Composite structures known to have better fracture resistance are interlaced fibre architectures, such as braid. This applies especially for impact performance [7]. The braiding process strongly depends on the desired product. The machinery has to be chosen accordingly to application regarding e.g. the number of fibre carriers and their quantities. In automotive applications the dimensions are limited to a certain range due to available build space in the car. This paper will show which parameters have to be considered when setting up a production line for braided pressure vessels. This is done against the background of typical pressure vessel dimensions in automotive applications.

Full textAbstract:
During the last years, the car market has been characterized by a continuous request to produce new models in few years obliging OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) to develop more flexible assembly lines and better methods for job planning on the same lines. New standards on work organization also require new concepts for process design and for production: the human centered approach to improve manual assembly operations. In Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) this approach has been applied during process design, using “Digital Manufacturing” (DM) techniques and, during Process Industrialization and Production, using the EAWS and ErgoUAS Methods for ergonomic optimization of assembly tasks and for optimal line balancing (distributing the work load in the best way between workers along the lines). The DM approach is based on a detailed “virtual plant” where virtual mannequins interact with digital models of car’s components, equipment, containers, etc. in order to simulate and improve working conditions with many benefits on ergonomics, safety, final product quality, work organization and general production costs. However, to achieve these results, experimental data and physical validation are also necessary. For this reason, an Ergonomics Laboratory (“ErgoLab”) has been built in FCA in order to have a physical validation of design/virtual solutions.

Abstract In succession to Tsuda (1995) in which 2 QFD models were proposed for Concurrent Engineering (CE) development of a complicated product such as an automobile, this report treats a study of QFD models for research and development of a future car. First it is discussed, how to approach a future car concept. As customers can not forecast the future, the market quality requirements do not exist which were the very starting point of the 2 QFD models proposed in Tsuda (1995). Instead, experts must find future quality requirements, which then need to be accepted by customers, together with their backgrounds. These circumstances are considered for modification of the 2 QFD models proposed in Tsuda (1995) into new QFD models. These models will then be compared with a research and development case of a future car which was pushed forward on the same basic concept as these models. This real case aimed at the research of both a future car and the methodology of its research and development. It included not only planning and development of a future car, but also customer researches using this concept car. As a result the 2 new QFD models are proven valid for the research and development of a future car.

Ongoing urbanization, combined with market fundamentalism as the prevailing mode of political management, is leading to the spatial and social segregation of economic classes in cities. The housing market, being driven by economic interests rather than public policy, favors inflexible forms of ownership or tenancy that are increasingly incompatible with the more diverse forms of live-work patterns and family structures occurring in the society. This paper presents a research-by-design project that explores a speculative future scenario of housing, based on current developments in digital technologies and their impact on the mobility and accessibility to services enjoyed by urban residents. It references technology platforms that underpin the 'sharing economy' or 'gig economy', such as 'pay-as-you-go' car and bike sharing programs or internet and smartphone-based services for taxis or temporary accommodation. The study explores how new forms of participation in the housing market could circumvent the current segregation of different communities across the city. It describes a speculative system of distributed residential spaces, accessible to all on a 'pay-for-time-used' basis. By offering freedom of choice across domestic functions of greater range and accessibility than found within existing housing or hotel accommodation, the system would enable opportunistic or nomadic forms of living linked to the dynamic spatio-temporal occurrences of social, cultural or economic opportunities. The research references how new forms of social networking create new challenges and opportunities to participate in communities and explores how new technologies, applied to housing, can help to find a 'sense of belonging' within the technological society.

"Worried about the car’s future? Don’t be. What we do need is a new perspective on personal mobility. Car makers compete over the same markets, margins are slim. Now the car faces growing criticism on a number of subjects; the industry is asked to transform. Reducing vehicle footprint offers whole new opportunities. Mind you, not the same as bringing a small car. My submission (based on over 15 years of research) carries the following subjects. 1. Think post-Tesla Solely based on battery drive, Tesla grew out to be more valuable than Volkswagen. Imagine the potential when other car travel-related issues are tackled too: zero-emission drive without subsidizing, energy efficiency, gridlock, traffic safety, profitable ride-hailing, self-driving. 2. Less = More In principle, low energy-dense propulsion (batteries) are a better match for lightweight vehicles. If we keep on putting large battery packs in oversized EVs, we end up with a lot of shortage, disposal and reusability issues. Daily gridlock is proof of how poorly we manage space, energy, materials, precious time. Think of infrastructure in terms of internet bandwidth which is difficult to expand. How to utilize roads more efficiently? 3. Smart-app vehicle No doubt, future generations will look at cars as ‘personal mobility devices’ - electric, smart, sleek, practical. Technology tends to influence product format anyway. The phone went from brick-like to sleek, cool, efficient, smart. So can the car. 4. Driverless favors sleek There’s more margin to scan-sensor-image the vicinity, take evasive action. Instead of putting autonomous hard- and software in conventional cars as add-ons, reformat the car first to have it benefit optimally from driverless technology. 5. Bridge the gap between personal mobility and public transit Outside rush hours, fewer people need to be carried, making the deployment of coach buses too costly to cover running expenses, less eco-friendly per passenger. When passenger payload drops, smaller vehicles are far more efficient. The average ride-hail trip is 1.2 passenger. Now there’s an opportunity for ride-hailers (TNCs) and transit authorities to work together, leaving room for micro-mobility as well. 6. Basically a whole new market Best to avoid the label and stigma of ‘driving a small car’. People don’t particularly favor or like small cars. So, bring something else, something in between car and two-wheeler. A ‘Best of Both Worlds’ - the fun, economy, agility of a scooter... and the comfort and safety of a car. Time to happily, purposefully cater to the growing and diverse market of urbanites, two-car households, early-adopters, singles, couples, one-child families, greenies, techies, ride-hail companies. Together they represent more than 1 out of every 1000 prospective car buyers. 1/1000 is a ratio which suffices to have a viable production (with global car sales averaging 90 million). 7. Streamline production Through 3D printing, C2C, appliance-like manufacturing methods, localized. 8. Sky’s the limit Lightweight, low drag and energy efficiency are quintessential for aerial vehicles too. A modular setup enables seamless '2D and 3D transit'."

Full textAbstract:
This research has been commissioned by Eco Fuel Global Limited, a New Zealand-based company, to further evaluate the effects of their fuel-additive product on the tailpipe exhaust emissions of petrol cars. At the time this research was conducted (end of 2018), the product was still in development and had not been released to the market. Prior to the testing in this research, an initial pilot test was done for the same product on a single car (Nissan Pulsar 1998), which showed favourable results, with a reduction in hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen at the tailpipe by more than 70%. The current research included five test cars, all running on RON 95 fuel, with the years of manufacture ranging between 1994 and 2006, and the odometer readings between 112,004 km and 264,001 km. The effects of the fuel-additive product were assessed by comparing the emissions from a car running on standard fuel with the emissions from the same car after it completed a road run (250±20 km) on the additive-treated fuel. The exhaust emissions were measured using the AVL series 4000 Emission Tester, which analyses five components: carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), oxides of nitrogen (NOX), hydrocarbons (HC) and oxygen (O2). The most noticeable outcome of using the fuel-additive product was the reduction in the concentration of oxides of nitrogen in the tailpipe exhaust (by up to 27.7%), when compared with the same cars running on standard fuel. In addition, the results showed a decrease in residual oxygen concentration, which normally indicates more complete utilisation of O2 as an oxidising agent. Mitigating Nitrogen Oxides Exhaust Emissions from Petrol Vehicles by Application of a Fuel Additive Dr Roman Kudin, Prabhat Chand and Anura Bakmeedeniya 2 The changes for other emission parameters were either relatively small (below 1%) or were not statistically significant. The application of such fuel-additive products could be beneficial for mitigating nitrogen oxides exhaust emissions from petrol vehicles in countries with ageing car fleets. These include New Zealand, which has a relatively high proportion of old cars in use, with no government-run scrappage scheme, and without a mandatory objective emissions testing.
