Intelligent module for powered wheelchair safety and skills training
EF 2019-20 · 2019-11-25
Résumé
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 is to develop an intelligent module that can prevent collisions by automatically intervening. This device will supplement our existing obstacle detection system. It will provide new training opportunities to those who are learning how to drive by providing an error-free learning environment. In addition, it will widen powered wheelchair access to those who are currently excluded due to visual, cognitive, and/or motor impairments. This technology will expand our overall market size, and increase competitive advantage for any wheelchair manufacturers that we partner with.

Description (French)
Les appareils de mobilité motorisés présentent actuellement des risques pour la sécurité des conducteurs et des autres personnes présentes dans l'environnement; ils causent également des dommages matériels importants. L'objectif du projet est de mettre au point un module intelligent capable d'éviter les collisions en intervenant automatiquement. Ce dispositif viendra compléter notre système de détection d'obstacles existant. Il offrira de nouvelles possibilités de formation à ceux qui apprennent à conduire en fournissant un environnement d'apprentissage sans erreur. De plus, il élargira l'accès aux fauteuils roulants électriques aux personnes qui en sont actuellement exclues en raison de déficiences visuelles, cognitives ou motrices. Cette technologie augmentera la taille globale de notre marché et accroîtra l'avantage concurrentiel de tous les fabricants de fauteuils roulants avec lesquels nous nous associons.
