Development of decision system of vertical slope according to wheelchair operation ability

Abstract

It aims at the construction of the system that easily finds the measurement of housing design for a wheelchair user. Especially we focused on the slope. We investigated a minimum running speed necessary to run in the slope, find driving force peak necessary so that it may put on the speed. We constructed new criterion that easily finds the maximum driving force peak by negotiating small step, and find degree of slope that adjust wheelchair user's ability.
