| dc.description.abstract | As the elderly population grows, the need for personal
mobility devices such scooter and wheelchairs increases too. Most of
these devices are used in uncrowded environment except Motorized
Shopping Carts (MSCs). MSCs are operated by elderly or by people
with disabilities in very confined and in times very crowded
environment. In a first glance, it appears that there are no safety
issues in operating MSCs due to their misleading low “walking”
speed. On the contrary, there are quite a few safety issues related to
MSCs operation in supermarkets, department stores and other retail
facilities. This paper attempts to present some of the safety concerns
which include high accelerations and jerks, Impact forces with by
standers, manoeuvrability and others. | en_US |
