Enhancing Mobility for Wheelchair Users in Urban Environments

This presentation explores innovative solutions for improving the mobility of wheelchair users in city settings. We begin by highlighting the challenges faced by users who wish to engage in longer outdoor trips along bicycle paths. Our proposed solution is a customizable wheelchair with integrated controls, speed regulation, and enhanced safety features. We discuss the interdisciplinary approach involving mechanical engineering and healthcare insights, and outline the necessary next steps towards practical implementation. Join us in shaping more accessible urban environments.
