Obstacle Detection and Feedback System for Wheelchairs: Collision Detection and Analysis
FY 2018-19 · 2018-09-03
Summary
Powered mobility devices currently pose safety risks to both drivers and others in the environment, as well as cause significant property damage. The aim of the project will be to develop a device that can be used to monitor and characterize any collisions that a wheelchair user might experience, as well as monitoring their driving habits. This device will supplement our existing obstacle detection system to provide a more holistic picture of navigation challenges, creating additional revenue streams and significant growth potential for our company.

Description (French)
Les appareils de mobilité motorisés posent actuellement des risques pour la sécurité des conducteurs et des autres personnes dans l’environnement, ainsi que des dommages matériels importants. Le but du projet sera de développer un dispositif pouvant être utilisé pour surveiller et caractériser toute collision qu'un utilisateur de fauteuil roulant pourrait subir, ainsi que pour surveiller ses habitudes de conduite. Cet appareil viendra compléter notre système de détection d’obstacles existant afin de fournir une image plus globale des défis posés à la navigation, en créant des sources de revenus supplémentaires et un potentiel de croissance important pour notre entreprise.
