Concerns Posed by Committee from
Winter Term
 The platform is too steep for wheelchair to go up.
The ADA standard
slope ratio is 1:12
Too Steep!
 Reverse ramp ascent by wheelchair
 Three ratios (1:12, 1:8, 1:6)
 5 times for each angle and take the average
 3 different body types (weight, height, gender, age)

Independent Variables:
 Steps height
 Angle of the steps
 Friction of the wheels
 Length of the carriage
 Weight of the wheelchair and user

Friction
Stairs
17
 The stairs without carpet has
small friction and wheelchair is
hard to climb
 The stairs with carpet has
increased friction and
wheelchair is easy to climb stair
Slope and length change of the model
 Decrease the slope to 
accordingly to the result of the
experiment
 Increase the distance between the
wheels to enable 90 degree turn
after landing

Calculation at instant of climbing up a step (max torque required)
Rear wheel drive, 80% of total weight at rear wheel
W = total weight x 80% = 185kg x 80% =148kg
r = 0.13m
Fy: F = W
M: T = F x r = 188Nm = 138.66 lbft
