Air travel presents several problems for passengers with disabilities.
One in particular is how they get from their wheelchair and to an aircraft seat.
The commonly used manual transfer method is hazardous to the assistants
and the passenger. There are other alternatives, but they have plenty of room
for improvement. In designing a mechanical device to emulate the manual
transfer method, passenger comfort is of utmost concern. This study was
conducted to evaluate how various lateral forces applied to a participant’s
chest affected their comfort during a mechanically assisted transfer. A
prototype device was outfitted with a pneumatic cylinder to adjust the lateral
force applied to a participant. They were then asked to indicate their comfort.
The study revealed that a lateral force of 30% of a person’s body weight is
required to hold them without slipping and a lateral force of 46% of a person’s
body weight is considered the most comfortable. Using these values further
iterations of the prototype device can be designed to optimize passenger
comfort. |
