Bike/train fusion concept
Can public transport be made more attractive by allowing passengers to bring their bikes on commuter trains? During my master thesis I made an explorative study on this matter.

Bike/train fusion concept
I started the thesis with a litterature study on the topic of which factors that affect peoples choice of transportation system
Research
Analysis
Instrumental values
Why
do people take the car instead of the public transportation system?
Social factors
“Travel time” “Cargo space”
“Everyone else has one...” “Now that my parents bought me a driver’s license...”
Affective values “I love driving my car” “I can go wherever I want, whenever i want”
Car use

I then invented a fictional company on the island of Hisingen, Gรถteborg Sweden, and defined three personas representing fictional employees at the company, and looked at their individual travel times by car, public transport, and bike/train combination travel
car
When
todays public transport
would a bike/train traveler arrive?
bike/train fusion
the bike/train fusion does not beat the car in travel time. but add a few minutes of congestion or time spent finding a parking and they are pretty even. compared to todays public transport, a train designed around bikes would save hours every week for todays public transport users

Bike/train fusion concept
An example of my way of solving a problem
no. could not solve problem with stepping in/out from seats identify unused potential. this volume in trains serves no purpose
could it be possible to implement a car seat-like leaned-back seat to save space inside trains?
How
brainstorming different ideas on where to place passengers and bikes
would we best store bikes inside a train?
generating different concepts for sitting above a bike. if an area is too small, look at the volume!
Jonas Lindgren - Student - Masters programme in industrial design Jรถnkรถping University - jonasss.lindgren@gmail.com - 0732 082756
the final solution is a wall mounted seat above a bike stand. the seat is accessed through a small ladder on the wall
beside the seat, above the bike stand, a storage area for bags etc is placed. this storage area can be transformed into a double-seat when no bike is stored below
the bike seat concept is visualized further in the animation I made to present my thesis. it can be viewn online at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31bQmXZHrrE

Fitness product styling
During my thesis semester I helped two private entrepreneurs develop and visualize their ideas on a fitness product to increase their chances to sell the concept. I can not explain the function of the concept in public.

UAV Helicopter form How do you create a form that is at the same time aggressive enough to communicate a military tension, but still able to be repainted for the civilan market?
In collaboration with Swedish aviation company CybAero, the students in my class searched to find forms for their unmanned reconnaissance vehicle, based upon the companys current skeleton platform. Their main customers today and the near future are military investors, but the aim of the company is to broaden their market to include civilian applications such as coast guard activities and fire fighting

Car Seat Project
To apply theoretical knowledge from a course in ergonomy and the science of workspaces, we ran a project with Volvo Cars Interior Design to solve problems related to their customer experience of the current interior environment of Volvo cars
Photoshop sketch of the final concept
This car seat concept is a technical development from todays car seats with an extendable leg rest
On a metal frame, five dynamic metal springs are attached. The springs can slide along the metal frame
A hard plastic shell encapsulates the metal frame
A medium density foam is attached to each spring, providing a comfortable volume for the legs
When the user activates leg extension, the foam cussions slide forward. This moves the leather sheet forward, pulling up leather from below the seat (red field)
A thin long leather sheet surrouds the foam cushions. The cushions can slide under the leather sheet
To add volume and comfort to the seat, two soft low density foam cushions are attached to the plastic shell. The leather sheet moves freely under the two cusions

Extendable is king
Volvo Form Study
While the Car Seat project was quite technical, I took the chance to warm up with a weeks car sketching and trying to catch the shapes of a Volvo V60
Photoshop render
Examples of results from marker workshop about visualizing different materials
To deepen my understanding of the Volvo form language, a highly detailed A3 size Photoshop rendering of a Volvo V60 was made in the introduction of the project. The method used was to first outline the contours of the car from a photo reference and then applying layer over layer of digital paint to visualize the shape of the different parts of the car, and the light characteristics and reflections of the different materials. Every pixel drawn by hand in Photoshop

Future Caravan ProjectIn the search for a new market for Swedish caravan company Cabby I developed a concept of a mobile home ready to meet an unpredictable environment
CARAVAN CONCEPT 2030
The main idea of the concept is to use the caravan as an energy storage. A big volume in the front of the caravan is dedicated for battery storage and the idea is that the caravan is normally connected to the electricity grid, assuring that the batteries are fully charged. When the user decides to leave society, the caravan has all energy it needs to run its integrated systems for a while. And if the batteries are running low, the last energy could be used to power an electric car to transport the caravan to a recharge facility
Nine curved solar cell panels of a total area of 20 m^2 covers 360 degrees around the caravan to assure that the batteries are charged from sunrise to sunset. Cabby polyurethane system maximizes thermal insulation to keep the caravan warm at a minimum energy cost
In case of an upcoming flood, the Cabby customer can safely move its mobile home to safe grounds and wait until civic functions are restored
The front of the caravan is angled down 30 degrees to efficiently absorb sunlight in the northern- and southern hemisphere where the sun does not reach its zenith. Another point with this design feature is to create a smooth transition between the car and the caravan, which drastically increases aerodynamic perfromance compared to flat-front caravans

Future Caravan InteriorOne part of the caravan project was to create a design proposal for the interior of the caravan. Being shocked about how homogenous the current caravan interiors are in europe, I decided to do something clean to tempt a younger audience
CARAVAN CONCEPT 2030
A big storage area folds down from above the beds, saving space and utilizes a volume that hard to use for anything else because of the angled front of the caravan

Final presentation at Cabby
Post office luminaire Based on the working area of a postman sorting mail, this luminaire increases visability for the user and saves energy by automatic light intensity control and presence sensors
Technical details and explanation of the luminaire:
LED 1 lights up the post sorting shelves, which contain information about who and which companies that are located at a certain house/adress.
When angled, LED 1 can be directed towards the postmans table where the mail man at the end of the workday investigates postal items with incorrect adress information, deceased/moved away recipients etc
Jonas Lindgren - Student - Masters programme in industrial design Jรถnkรถping University - jonasss.lindgren@gmail.com - 0732 082756
LED 2 lights up the mail the postman is currently holding and reading, without any risk of glare. It is important for a postman, who handles around one thousand postal items per day, to see the adress well.
SPIF Competition
For Svensk Plastindustriförening’s competition A Beautiful Garden, I made an entry together with a class mate of mine. Our concept was a bird-feeding sculpture with a solar cell and a wind mill that would collect energy used by LED’s to light the sculpture up at night

SPIF Competition
We didn’t win the competition, but we had a lot of fun ideating the concept over the weekend we spent on the project and I like the meeting of “middle eastern shapes” and clean industrial surfaces

Human factors application During my last university year I helped three mechanical engineering students to enhance
their first class air plane seat concept with sitting ergonomic measurements and functions.
Their idea was to create a concept of a seat that would encapsulate the traveler in case of fire, hence the egg shape. (That was not my idea..!) My job was to give their seat concept a face lift to reach a visual impression of a first class seat, and to give the seat a shape that would allow proper body support and allow good adjustability.

3D Visualization skills I use Autodesk Alias Automotive to create my final project proposals for maximum control of shapes and surfaces. Through my master I have generally been using Luxion Keyshot to render the alias models. However I started self studying 3ds Max in 2012 and Keyshot suddenly appeared horribly limited, like eating with a knife, only.

3Ds Max
During my last semester I self-studied 3d Studio Max, mainly because I wanted to present my thesis project with an animation. What I also found was that this software can create almost anything when it comes to photo realistic computer generated imagery. Here is an example of how beautifully it handles direct and indirect light bounces

ID Sketching skills
My industrial design sketching method is heavily based around ball point pen sketches by hand. I have basic skills in applynig marker ink and coloured pencils but i prefer to scan my ballpoint sketches into Photoshop to apply colour and materials digitally

2005
My name is Jonas and I decided that I want to work with product development a few years ago. After around one year at Chalmers Mechanical Engineering I realized that as an engineer, I would not be able to do the kind of work that I wanted to do. So I moved.
project details
To Skövde. Three years of engineering combined with basic courses in industrial design. Good thing: I learned alot about materials, manufacturing and was introduced to the creative process. Bad thing: almost no time to sketch. Engineering exams all over and little focus on the creative stuff. Jönköping. Two year master in Industrial Design for students with an engineering background. Most courses involve a company and a new design related project. The education is centered around a design studio where all students run their own projects at their own desk.
