IDEA:
Dedicated to get you moving
One day Dean Kamen saw a young man in a wheelchair struggling to get on the sidewalk. Thinking about this, he realized that the problem was not ineffective wheelchairs, but the fact that the world was built for people who can stay in balance. So, along with his team, he created the 'Independence iBot Mobility System ™, a means of mobility, self-balancing, which allows users to climb stairs and go in the sand, rocks and pavement. But put them in the balance did something even more special - increased them on two wheels, so they can see the world at eye level. If the technology could allow the balancing of such great benefit to people who can not walk, what could be done for people with full mobility?
For people with full mobility, using a balanced machine can make far-reaching possibilities. In fact, the industrial project is an afterthought. However since we started the project because of the Segway PT is integral to the way it works . E 'has added a sophisticated computer programming, electronics and guidance systems were developed, and Dean has selected partners giusti—non solo gli investitori con i soldi, ma persone favorevoli ad investire in questa visione.
Così Segway PT intraprese una sua vita. Fu fondata una nuova azienda e fornitori esteri, che avrebbero avuto un ruolo integrale attraverso il processo di sviluppo, furono presi a bordo. Così il Segway PT iniziò ad evolversi, spaziando dalla creatività al desiderio di costruire qualcosa che potesse fare la differenza.
La nostra ispirazione per il nome Segway deriva dalla parola segue, che è definita come " cambiamento senza intoppi da uno stato ad un altro". Il Segway PT trasforma una persona in un pedone potenziato, permettendogli/le di andare più lontano, muoversi più velocemente e portare più carico.
It follows today's Segway - Simply moving.

WHY 'CHOICE SEGWAY (according to the company):
"The Segway ® Personal Transporter (PT), easy to learn , is a great tool for business performance. Feasibility studies analyzed by customers, have shown strong gains in productivity. It makes workers faster, enabling them to cover more ground in less time. It increases their carrying capacity, reducing stress resulting from repetitive work and the cost for injuries at work. With the agility of the Segway PT can maneuver in small spaces. The Companies can avoid the use of petrol vehicles, and costs of operation and maintenance associated with it. Become more recognizable
The Segway PT is unmistakable. The security issues, is an effective deterrent, and nothing is more noticeable than a security guard on a Segway PT. Drivers are taller than 20 cm and thus more visible and with the ability to have a better view in the car parks or holiday resorts.
More and more security organizations around the world have learned how the Segway PT benefits to campus security patrols and mall security, allowing officers to be more visible and respond more quickly to crime situations and alle emergenze.
Bassi costi di funzionamento
Il Segway PT non ha bisogno di benzina, perchè funziona con batterie a facile carica, con costi di funzionamento di qualche centesimo al giorno. Le batterie possono essere ricaricate utilizzando qualunque presa da 90 a 260 volt e da 50 a 60 Hz AC (utilizzate in quasi tutte le nazioni). Per un ciclo completo di ricarica occorrono da otto a dieci ore, circa il costo di un quotidiano.
Uno strumento affidabile, duraturo
Un altro attributo che fa del Segway PT uno strumento di produttività, è l'affidabilità. Facendo leva su vent'anni di innovazioni scientifiche, è stato ampiamente testato e progettato per funzionare in quasi tutte le condizioni ambientali in cui l'utente si can find. It 'been meticulously designed to have virtually no need for maintenance, resulting in savings. See for yourself the value of increased efficiency by using our calculator productivity to determine return on investment. "

and SEGWAY CMC: CMC-
The cultural center is the hub of the subway-system pathways that affect the entire ecological urban area Torpignattara that characterize the project and entering it in and turning its space. Just for your interest relationship with the land and its use is born the idea of \u200b\u200bthe CMC, where the subculture becomes the culture typical of the suburbs, where art in all its forms is put into a new light, rapportandocisi in an active and passive in the saddle to its ecological means. The routes are linked to the territory within the CMC, invested by a variety of activities as part of mixity. The Segway handles the path of INFRASTRUCTURE , linking the ecological public transport within the region of the path of the mind Torpignattara GREEN, outlines the three routes to the three major parks bordering the neighborhood.
-mail is first sent to me by 'Leo Brancatelli engineer, consultant for the import of ITALY SEGWAY ( http://www.blogger.com/www.segway.it ) and president of SEGWAY EXPERIENCE ( http://www.segwayexperience.it / ) :
"Good evening, my name is Umberto Di Tanna and study architecture at the University of Rome La Sapienza. you touch my experience in a project that I am about to engage in UrbanVoids which is a collaborative project offered the city of Rome and its inhabitants from the University of La Sapienza University Ludovico Quaroni by the Laboratory of Prof. IVd. Antonino Saggio The scope of work is to enable the project actions "from down "an interest both from the standpoint of the social program from that of environmental sustainability. Within this major project, my interest has focused on the study of sustainable and environmentally friendly routes in the sixth district of Rome and especially the use of the Segway that I would use as the primary means of movement, both as a link between infrastructure of the territory, as an example of ecological and sustainable mobility. I kindly ask you to be able to ask a few questions perhaps in a Roman or even your home via the web and to be able to cite as a partner in my project. There is no trading or speculative purposes but only the desire to communicate to the public (always in My little) the feasibility of sustainable experience by involving them know your extraordinary means of transport. My work is only theoretical experience and awareness. "
Thanks for your time and your willingness
Sincerely Umberto Di Tanna
-L 'engineer Brancatelli proved friendly and interested in my idea and the second email I explained to him what is better:
"My wish would be to make them a brief interview on the Segway in general and its use as part of my project, which will be published on my blog http: / / www.umbertoditanna.blogspot.com/ , Where I intend to mention your company as a project partner. Me and my two colleagues have chosen the district Torpignattara in Rome as a pilot project to re-label (still within the design laboratory of Professor Antonino Saggio IVd http://www.arc1.uniroma1.it/saggio/) and , and their interest has centered on the theme of recycling, my links sustainable. I set out two routes: one connecting the green spaces in the area and an infrastructure that would like to manage with the Segway. My idea would be to equip the stations surrounding the study area with locations where the Segway can be taken, the paths used inside the district to achieve another infrastructure, providing a public service and environmental citizenship. These stations will have a photovoltaic system to recharge the batteries within the means and paths that touch our three URBANVOIDS (progettoche areas are called CMC , Emit and Re-Place, systems in place to replace batteries. My idea (again, and then design theory) would be a partnership between your company and the Department of mobility that I contacted the city of Rome and from which they expect a response . The attached developed a small descriptive the system waiting for an opinion mentioned above. I await your reply to define together how and location of the interview. "
Thank you again to the availability and the time I dedicated to me
Sincerely Umberto
-in waiting to make the interview when the EGL will be in Rome, Engineer Brancatelli has authorized me to cite the company as a partner in the design of our urban design.
MOBILITY 'ECO-
is an interview I found on the web who sees the presence of the Segway in our city part of an initiative promoted by the label of the former junta common
Interview alderman to 'environment Esposito: "There are real alternatives to the car." At the Spring Festival, through Sunday, 17 presentation of electric vehicles with two wheels for mobility sostenibileLa Spring Festival: Up to Sunday 17 to Piazza del Popolo
VitoRoma De Andrea, April 15, 2005
"electric scooter crossing Square People captured the curiosity of passersby.
Electric bikes whizzing round the edge of the Pincio doing slalom between turisti.Mezzi ecological, using electricity, show that the petrol is not the only source of power is trasporto.Non the set of a science fiction film set in the Eternal City, nor the creation of a futuristic TV commercial, but the proof that the future is closer than pensi.La is the third edition of the Spring Festival is the background that can be seen from the Pincio from Friday 15 to Sunday 17: The event, sponsored by 'Environmental Department of the Municipality with the participation of Legambiente Lazio and New Association Via Vittoria, is a real showcase for what the experts call "sustainable mobility '. It is here, between Via del Corso and Piazza del Popolo, which takes form the largest exhibition of cars, scooters and electric bicycles in the city. A chance to see up close and touch the most advanced models of alternative transportation: the bicycle with a battery motor that provides "pedal assistance" to the "human transporter" della Segway, una pedana con manubrio e due ruote, a metà strada tra una biga e un grosso monopattino con cui spostarsi sfruttando il movimento oscillatorio del corpo.In pratica "diavolerie tecnologiche" al servizio dei bisogni umani.Ad ammirare questi futuristici mezzi di trasporto c'è anche Dario Esposito, assessore all'ambiente del Comune di Roma.Assessore che contributo potrebbero dare questi veicoli alla lotta contro l'inquinamento?"Un contributo importante. Stiamo attuando un programma per diffondere le diverse opportunità della mobilità alternativa. Speriamo che sia sempre meno alternativa e sia invece concreta. Vogliamo dimostrare come sia possibile, magari con una bicicletta a pedalata assistita, raggiungere la metropolitana, lasciando lì in sicurezza il mezzo. Credo che sia un sistema in grado di coinvolgere tanti cittadini romani: non solo per combattere l'inquinamento ma anche perchè può diventare un veicolo più veloce rispetto all'idea di restare incolonnati per ore in macchina". Quando potrebbe essere realizzabile questa soluzione alternativa della mobilità?"Dipenderà da diversi fattori. Prima di tutto dalla voglia dei romani di sperimentare. Vedo sempre più biciclette in giro. Ma anche noi dobbiamo dare gli strumenti, realizzando piste ciclabili e parcheggi all'interno delle metropolitane e delle ferrovie. E c'è soprattutto un aspetto da considerare: ogni volta che si fa una gara nel centro storico tra l'auto, il mezzo pubblico e la bicicletta, quest'ultima is always faster, in addition to being the most flexible and without parking problems. Match the bike and the subway becomes a real alternative to the car. The citizens are asking us to move better and with deadlines. "Let's talk about pollution. After the end of Thursday to number plate as the situation in Rome?" In this time of year levels also decrease because the boilers are switched off . We are evaluating the results of this experiment to see how to continue the initiative. We know that lead is worth more than a few thousand people to leave their cars for bicycles rather than do-emergency measures that give breath for a few hours. It is important to intervene when there are exceedances but also to ensure that the latter there are. "Even buses and motorcycles will have to adapt to anti-pollution rules. What?" For public transport we are working consistently. The experience of the trolleybus was undeniably a success. The commitment is to provide the means to Atac methane with the arrival of 400 / 2 for the next few months. As for the scooters but we are still awaiting the promised funding famous by both the government and former junta Storace. We believe they are necessary to get to cleaner technologies at least 2 of the Euro. "When is a historic pedestrian?" The commitment is that by 2015 the entire old town is only dedicated to sustainable mobility. With the completion of the underground lines that I think this will be. The car will not go away from Rome at least for some time. But if we give real alternative to the Romans I am convinced that many people choose. "According to Lorenzo Parlati, president of Legambiente Lazio," the power is a reality already experienced "and therefore real. But worrying is once again ' pollution: "It 's been touched the threshold of 50 days exceeding the fine dust. It is true that the emergency is not related to winter. "And on the proposal of the new ztl Legambiente explains:" The problem of identification of the areas is related to public services and protected lanes. Matteo Costantini, president of Via Vittoria suggests instead of setting up an office for the systems "that serve to coordinate policies on various sectors of transport. But there is also the problem of columns for refills. If you buy an electric vehicle must have be sure to recharge. Finally a table ask for permits for electric vehicles. "The new Regional Adviser Mario Di Carlo, after experimenting with the electric scooter, comments on the use of sustainable transport:" This is exactly what I mean by energy. 'an area - he smiles - which I presume to know well. " Meanwhile, electric bike and scooter show the best of the stands set up in Piazza of people: those with an aluminum frame with up to 6-speed gearbox, folding up the models to electric tricycles with lots of luggage. They share a battery for a maximum of up to 7 hours. "But the real problem - explain workers - is the autonomy of the charges. In plain you get to do up to 35 km. The prices of two-wheeled pedal assisted range from 335 euro up to a thousand: to make a difference to some, it is mainly the presence of a "turbo" or a mechanism activated by a button on the handlebar allows hard acceleration especially useful in overtaking. Customers are particularly workers who move from home to office, covering a path up to 15 km. For different speech il monopattino elettrico. Il "Segway Human Transporter" è un mezzo di trasporto alternativo da 5 cavalli per ruota. E' stato pensato per brevi distanze ed offre un'autonomia di circa 20 km, capace di sostenere un peso fino a 120 kg. Il suo costo è di 6000 euro (compreso un breve corso di spiegazioni). Ma al momento il ministero dei Trasporti lo equipara ad un normale pedone."
-Come detto al disponibile Leo Brancatelli la mia richiesta di partnership è arrivata anche all'assessorato alla mobilità del comune di Roma. Meno veloci nella risposta ma altrettanto disponibili sono disposti a ricevermi nella prossima settimana per permettermi di intervistare l'ingegner Claudio Nelli, che potrà fornirmi l'aiuto necessario for my project.
Soon there will be updates ...
