Challenging the Car Norm: Opportunities for ICT to Support Sustainable Transportation Practices
summary
Study of three families in Stockholm replaces family cars with light electric vehicles for one year, using trip diaries, a phone app that maps trips, travel planners and a sports-team ride‑sharing app. Findings: box bikes and e-bikes shift routines—more biking, kids travel solo, extensive planning—and two sold their cars during the year while the third keeps box bikes and uses a carpool. Design opportunities: highlight vehicle-specific routes, employer-provided trials, coordinated bulky-item transport, and planners that optimize for health, daylight and scenic routes rather than just time.
