The Research Of High-End Children’s Car Based On Modularization

Children is a special community. The types and levels of their demands are changing as their physiological and psychological characteristics are not immutable. Through the surveys we found a lot of problems of the market of children’s cars. The cars for children are only applicable to a narrow age group of children. There are not any interfaces for them to be upgraded and refitted. The defects of design and manufacture make a majority of people keep the mind that the children’s cars are simply the toys.In order to meet the problems above, this study confirms the main object as high-end children’s cars, and identifies the user community are the affluent families who love cars and have high demands for cars. In this thesis, the concept of high-end children’s car based on modularization is raised. The high-end children’s cars are different from the toy cars on the market. They can be used as real cars to train children’s driving skills. The high-end children’s car based on modularization could adapt to the physiological and psychological needs for children from different ages by changing and regulating the modules. It could contribute to develop children’s sense of direction and driving skills. Children will grow up in the company of the children’s cars.In chapter two, in order to access the market demands, the research is mainly about the status of the business, the market situation, major brands at home and abroad.In chapter three, the target children are defined from 3 to 12 years old. By reviewing a lot of documents, observations and interviews, we could summarize the children’s physical, psychological, behavioral, and cognitive characteristics.In chapter four, this thesis presents children’s special principles of high-end cars design and the design elements. The design features include the scalability, personalization and customization, interest, commonality, taking care of the gifts of the children, interactivity. The design elements including formal essence, structure elements,color &trim.In chapter five, children’s demands of the high-end children’s cars will be divided into basic demands, auxiliary demands, potential demands by searching a large number of previous studies of children’s physical, psychological, behavioral, and cognitive characteristics and the design of children’s toys, furniture, indoor space. The functions are divided into basic functions, customized functions and additional functions. The modules of high-end children’s cars are divided into basic modules, customized modules and additional modules. In order to realize the growth of the high-end children’s cars, we have to analyze the elements of form, structure,color&trim.The research combined the project of the upgrade of high-end children’s cars with Lemuguet Company, Ltd. In order to provide a reference for subsequent design, the thesis proposes programs of some modules such as wheels and color schemes for upgrade conversion.
