Abstract: Our staff have worked with rehabilitation engineering research experts all over the United States for more than 26 years on wheelchair transportation safety issues with a objective of looking at all the issues related to the safety of individuals seated in wheeled mobility devices while they are being transported or while they drive themselves in a motor vehicle. Researched topics include: the safety of individuals who drive from their wheelchairs in smaller vehicles and those who are transported in larger vehicles like buses, working with industry engineers to create industry standards as best practices to improve the safety of individuals who use mobility devices, and the crashworthiness of wheelchairs and other mobility equipment. We have been working with products to make releasing the seatbelt easier, an easier system for securing a wheelchair, automated docking systems for individuals who drive themselves while seated in a wheelchair or use public transportation, and a system for the safety of both individuals and their mobility devices while using public transportation vehicles. These projects have been a collaborative effort involving the experts across the globe.
