Abstract
This work is a conceptual design of the next-generation vehicle system based on the
viewpoint of “timeaxis design,” “multi-timescale model” as timeaxis design theory and “bio-inspired
design” as timeaxis design methodology. These viewpoints are the new paradigms in the design of the
21st century which aims at solution of various problems, such as exhaustion of resources or energy,
environmental destruction, large-scale accident and the difference of wealth and poverty. We propose
a new vehicle system which can realize the safety higher than the conventional vehicle system with
incorporating the control system, information system and drive system adapting the mechanism in
the group behavior as a life system by use of multispace design method based on above mentioned
theory and methodology. Moreover, the usefulness of the system is considered from the viewpoint of
timeaxis design.
