Future mobility scenario exploration based on futurology and speculative design tools and methods

Abstract: This paper focuses on the use of futurology tools to explore the future of the field of mobility. This paper provides an in-depth interpretation of the core concepts of speculative design and emphasizes its importance in transcending the boundaries of reality and challenging conventional thinking. Further, combined with the four future perspectives detailed in Speculative Everything, we discuss how these perspectives provide new perspectives and Revelations for predicting future mobility scenarios. These four perspectives not only reveal the diversity of the future for us, but also bring more abundant and diversified possibilities to the field of smart mobility. On this basis, the conceptual framework of the future triangle is introduced, and the opportunities and challenges facing the future transportation development are deeply analyzed. This analysis helps us to understand the complexity of traffic system design in a more comprehensive way, and provides a solid theoretical foundation for future practice. Combined with the perspective of futurology, it can stimulate the society's in-depth thinking and participation in the future mobility. In summary, the goal of this paper is to provide designers, researchers and policy makers with a new perspective and methodology to promote innovation and development of future transport design and ensure the sustainability and prosperity of society.
