Abstract [en]
The thesis project is about concept design of roof box. The roof box is targeted towards urban users who live in compact houses and are limited by space to store the conventional hard roof boxes. The project explores the idea of transforming the roof box into a compact size to be stored in a duffel bag.
The project incorporates several methods like Bootcamp Bootleg, Double Diamond, Mockups and Prototyping. The project involved making several mockups to ideate, build, test and verify if it works. The result of which is a roof box which folds into a compact size to be stored and transforms into its full size adding additional cargo space to your vehicle.
This thesis project was done together with Swaroop Rajagopal, while the design and implementation is carried out by me, the material research and the testing is carried out by him in his master thesis project. This Master Thesis project is done in collaboration with Thule Sweden AB.The project is still in its conceptual phase and further development is required before it is ready to hit the market.
