Initial research looked at trying to outline the system of a local city, identifying issues relating to congestion, and then developing a system of vehicle configurations aimed at targeting these issues. The research however, wasn't leading to tangible results and slow progress was impacting the other half of the project: development of the vehicle ergonomics.
Further research impacting the development of wheelchair accessibility into KAMM included looking at how users are loaded into the vehicle and identifying pain points, and looking at Australian legislations and standards related to wheelchair accessibility in vehicles.
