General Design Constraints: Technology Context Road Transportation Trends
Existing Infrastructure is a significant source of resistance to change> a shift in motorization paradigm would imply intensive investment
It is hard to predict which technology will dominate Technology in Development
Electric Vehicles Fuel Cells Hybrid Vehicle Concepts
. Emission-free (electricity production based on renewable energy sources > increase operational costs)
. Battery technology: performance / autonomy limitation due problems / volume and weight penalities
. Proton exchange membrane (PEM) concept is the most adequate to cars (using hydrogen, PEM fuel cells can retrieve efficiencies of about 60%)
. Hydrogen production problems (centralized / descentralized)
. Storage onboard a vehicle problem
. Fuel cell buses are being demonstrated in Europ
(also in Portugal)
. Inumerouse possible technological paths (puts in evidence the difficulty in previewing which will be the prevailing motorization technology)
. Hybrid-carsare already in the market (hight acceptibility from costumers)

General Design Constraints: Client Context Effects of changes
middle 1980s the convenience stores became the main source of economic income
point-of-view of fuel-retail companies the convenience stores falls likely a service. Increasingly oil companies are shifting their business strategy from a product-oriented to a service-oriented framework
This uncertainty environment motivated the Portuguese oil retailer, Galp Energia S.A. to search for:
> new solutions leading to product differentiation > market advantage

General Design Constraints: Client Context Diversification of income sources
The company’s margin related to the retail unit (forecourt Shops), is now higher than the diesel margin.
Profit margins are so low, that differentiation cannot be solely based on fuel variants, as it was common practice until now.

General Design Constraints: UserRoad Transportation: Social Context Trends
Urban layout and population distribution have a strong influence on the population mobility patterns
> functions provided by cities accommodation, employment, recreation, education and shopping
Movements between urban functions: 45-90 min. per day, about 10-15% of people income (Tester, J. et al, 2005)
Increased flexibility: > (Policy) getting people to use cars less and to switch to bus or train, had relatively little impact in most countries
> (car use) trips for work are now growing less rapidly than those for family/ social purposes
>> leisure is an increasingly important urban function (lower flexibility and
convenience of public transports / people’s safety at leisure activities tend
to occur during night-hours)

General Design Constraints: UserRoad Transportation: Social Context Trends
75% of population lived in urban areas (2000)
83% of the inhabitants of the more developed countries will be urban dwellers (2030)
The population living in urban areas is expected to rise from:> 73% to 81% at Europe (2000-2030)> 77% to 85% at Northern America (2000-2030)
(UN, 2001)
This urban population growth will impose aggravated problems of pollution, waste of time and energy and lack of space parking availability, which further emphasizes the need to find alternative mobility solutions.

Scenario 1 has intrinsically associated social concepts that may shape consumer-oriented business strategies of Galp.
> inducing its (potential) costumers to use the service station as a multi-service, meeting point space;
> performing an interfacing, commuting function between mobility systems;
>> introduction of the parking function
> open on a 24 hour basis >> real commodity-mobility platform when
the offer is strongly reduced
Meeting point concept is already being used in an empirical way, motivated by:
>> easiness of identification of the site >> good location >> geographical distribution

Scenario 2 also points out the benefits of convenient location within the meeting-point concept.
> this kind of location is interesting for business man than for young people
> it illustrates a behavior pattern identified within the participatory-design research: people tend to increasingly use service stations for communication activities
>> use their mobile IT devices (e.g. PDA, laptop, mobile phone)
Puts forward time and unexpected-events factors which may be understood as drivers for enhanced utilization of service stations if commodities such as advanced communication means with good conditions for meetings are provided.

Scenario 3 is especially intended at pointing-out the difficulties that may be faced by those who want to adhere to alternative mobility schemes.(such as private-car sharing)
> the rigidity associated to car sharing could be surpassed if the service stations, provided an on-site alternative solution.
> service stations are frequently visited on the pendular movements people do on a daily basis, a steerage function would address the need to move everyday products

Kate decides to browse the web for a microwave oven. She finds a nice bargain at a local shop website and proceeds to buying it online. She orders it be delivered to her Galp Personal Steerage Facility.
18:30
After leaving work, Kate decides to take a stroll and browse some shops near her workplace. She buys 5 outfits in a newly opened fashion store and orders them to be delivered to her Galp Personal Steerage Facility.
19:00
Kate arrives at her car and conveniently stops beside her Galp Personal Steerage Facility, she loads her car with her laundry, microwave oven and clothes… and drives away.
