Detailed Description

In India, to provide better facilities for the elderly, there are separate colonies dedicated to them. Every elderly person would like to travel independently independently. Currently Currently, there are many problems in the existing local transport vehicles, such as seating, luggage handling, ingress and egress (entry and exist), and materials used, which makes it difficult for the elders to travel safely and comfortably. The main purpose of the project is to design a proper support system for the elderly while travelling. The project also aims to provide a better and safer mode of transportation for the elderly with special reference to their ergonomic needs, better support system, and comfort. Special attention is taken to provide and improve the overall look and feel of the layout of the vehicle.
