Original Abstract

This project is focused on limitations reduction of disabled people, dependent on a wheelchair. It is no problem today to modify the car controls so, that the car could be controlled by a disabled person. A disabled driver is in most cases able to fold a wheelchair and load it behind his seat for oneself. However, if he uses an electrical wheelchair, a more complicated situation comes up. Such a wheelchair has to be loaded into the luggage space of the car. In this case, the disabled person is dependent on someones help. The system of automatic loading enables to the disbaled person to independently use a car. After a disabled person sits behind the steering wheel, the wheelchair is automatically guided into the luggage space of the car and after parking it is guided back to the drivers door. The limitation factor of this system is price. That is why it has to be designed with minimum intervention into both the wheelchair and the car.
