MODULAR CYCLIST HUB

A key point of urban mobility is to connect the different modes of transport. Users must have easy access to public transport, and cycling is the perfect option. The Consellería del Medio Ambiente of Mexico City hired us to design cycling hubs to connect the metro with the cycling infrastructure.
The result is a hub with space for 80 bicycles in two-story racks, controlled access via metro card, CCTV and metadata collection. Being modular, it is easily adaptable to each site and its parking needs, and is much cheaper to implement than a permanent building.
The design was conceived according to the client’s specific requirements and offers both security, visibility and ventilation. We coordinated the fabrication to deliver the hub finished and operational. Several hubs of varying sizes have been built since 2016, adding more than 500 secure bike racks to the city.

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN FOR TRAFFIC SYSTEMS

El diseño industrial puede agregar valor y ayudar a que los productos tecnológicos se destaquen en un mercado competitivo. Nuestro cliente Vixionere, especialistas en movilidad urbana, nos contrató para diseñar la carcasa e interfaz de sus soluciones de tráfico. El propósito fue optimizar la experiencia del usuario y el proceso de fabricación. Además de crear una imagen distintiva y unificada, mejorando el reconocimiento de su marca.

Llevamos a cabo una extensa investigación con un panel de expertos en los ramos de movilidad, psicología de tráfico, sociología y publicidad. Los diseños finales de semáforos, cámaras de velocidad y displays informativos, ayudaron a consolidar la posición de Vixionere en el mercado, y fueron lanzados en la expo internacional Intertraffic.
