“…In order to describe the perception in more detail, the basic scheme for product design is used (Figure 1). The product consists of the essential components layout, shape, colour and surfaces as well as graphics (Seeger, 2014;Holder et al, 2018). The layout describes the basic structure and assembly.…”

The vehicle exterior design conveys a variety of visual information. Among these are the brand identity, assumed characteristics, and the vehicle's age or newness. While previous research focusses mainly on the first two attributes, we broaden the perspective by examining the age perception for vehicle model portfolios across brands.Information of age is embedded not only in branding but also in the entirety of a vehicle's exterior design features. Therefore, this paper examines how participants of a self-reported study perceive individual models inside successive product portfolios without typical branding. The stimulus patterns were derived from 12 different series of BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi and edited accordingly. A total of 67 models from the years 1968 to 2019 were presented and evaluated in terms of perceived age, model and brand recognition.The results show that most vehicles are perceived as newer than their actual age, successive model generations are clearly distinguishable and participants were able to sort all models in their correct chronological order. Finally, design-related age perception and knowledge-based age perception are introduced as possible underlying concepts of the visual perception of product age.

“…In his wellknown contribution "Seeking the Ideal Form", Bloch (1995) uses the subdivisions "shape, scale, tempo, proportion, materials, colour, reflectiveness, ornamentation and texture" which were first introduced by Davis (1987), and Kellaris and Kent (1993). According to Seeger (2014), the product design is divided into 4 different subgestalts, which build on one another. The subgestalts are layout, shape, colour and graphics of which the latter is extended by the surface (Holder, 2016).…”

For the user perception of vehicles and consequently the success of automobile design, the body layout and especially the proportions of vehicles are pivotal. In the present study, the SAE main dimensions length (L108), wheelbase (L101), height (H100) and width (W103) of 697 vehicles from different OEMs were examined. The analysis reveals a tendency of increasing length, wheelbase and especially width of vehicles in recent years. Regarding the ratios of these dimensions there are clear correlations, as revealed by an analysis with linear regression. We find particular strong synchrony in the increases of the pairs W103 - L108 and L101 - L108 and lesser so between the ratio E = L108/L101 and the vehicle length. The latter can be explained by vehicles with a high L108 being less compact, i.e. the proportion E increases. Finally, it is discussed whether technological changes lead to revolutionary or evolutionary changes in dimensions. The historical development and the moderate proportional changes of BEVs indicate a measurable but evolutionary development. In contrast, disruptive technologies such as automated driving can significantly change the vehicle layout and thus encourage a more revolutionary change in proportions.

This paper describes how a user-oriented system for identification of public transport vehicles can be developed and evaluated. For this purpose, a vehicle design is first scaled with respect to the project requirements using a proven method and with decided consideration of customer and accessibility requirements. In a next step, it is demonstrated why the recognition of the bus by public transport users at bus stops has to be identified as critical. The following section systematically generates concepts for bus identification and presents them virtually. Finally, it is described how the concept evaluation can succeed with a pedestrian simulator and which results are obtained: For example, a number should do the primary bus identification, the route should be displayed at the boarding and the individual stop destination should be clearly highlighted on the route.
