Sinopse
The aim of this research is to improve the transportation of rural workers - sugar cane cutters in particular - in off-road conditions. Appropriate design solutions will not only improve the workers´ health, safety, welfare and consequently their everyday life, but also reduce transportation costs and increase agricultural production. It is argued in this present thesis that a vehicle designed specifically for this purpose, and relevant to this transportation context, would generate a better-performing vehicle in off-road conditions. I suggest that a vehicle based on appropriate design solutions would increase mobility, ensuring better journey conditions, fewer accidents and consequent social damage for both the families of the victims and the government. To achieve the aim of this research, account was taken of the role of the vehicle as a mobile facility centre on the plantation, and key issues were raised regarding not only the vehicle and the workers in a transportation context. In order to do so, this thesis has been written from an interdisciplinary perspective, mapping the current situation, and establishing key criteria for new vehicle types. The study was organized around five main issues: User Analysis, Vehicle Analysis, Terrain Analysis, Economic Analysis and Design Solutions.
