Abstract

This report aims to precise mobility needs and difficulties encountered by teenagers in their mobility. In the context of an increasing use of ICT, the topic is also to understand the role of technologies concerning mobility planning and travel activities. We then want to precise the acceptance of Mini-EV in mobility habits. Analyses we will present take also into account parents rules, autonomy degrees and the influence of the social environment on mobility of young people. The qualitative survey was made within the metropolitan area of Grenoble. The sample is composed of 18 teenagers under 18 years old (assuming a diversity in age, gender, social conditions and residential context) and 10 parents. Individual interviews were completed by a Mini EV training. Debriefing interviews after training allow collecting some opinions following the test of Mini-EV vehicles on 64 teenagers. The qualitative survey was conducted thanks to the support of the Institut des Métiers Techniques (IMT) and the Lycée Guynemer from Grenoble.

Qualitative research

Qualitative research is a type of research that aims to gather and analyse non-numerical (descriptive) data in order to gain an understanding of individuals' social reality, including understanding their attitudes, beliefs, and motivation. This type of research typically involves in-depth interviews, focus groups, or observations in order to collect data that is rich in detail and context. Qualitative research is often used to explore complex phenomena or to gain insight into people's experiences and perspectives on a particular topic.

Electric vehicle

An electric vehicle (EV) is a vehicle that uses one or more electric motors for propulsion. It can be powered by a collector system, with electricity from extravehicular sources, or it can be powered autonomously by a battery (sometimes charged by solar panels, or by converting fuel to electricity using fuel cells or a generator). EVs include, but are not limited to, road and rail vehicles, surface and underwater vessels, electric aircraft, and electric spacecraft.

Autonomy

In developmental psychology and moral, political, and bioethical philosophy, autonomy is the capacity to make an informed, uncoerced decision. Autonomous organizations or institutions are independent or self-governing. Autonomy can also be defined from a human resources perspective, where it denotes a (relatively high) level of discretion granted to an employee in his or her work. In such cases, autonomy is known to generally increase job satisfaction. Self-actualized individuals are thought to operate autonomously of external expectations.
