Abstract:The Independent Locking Securement System Project (ILS System Project) is a successful attempt to respond to the transportation community's need for a "universal" securement/restraint system that will accommodate most wheeled mobility aids, including three-wheeled scooters, in common use on public transportation systems. The research project was designed to assist transit agencies as well as manufacturers in providing access on public transit vehicles to persons with disabilities and to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The project focused on mobility aid securement problem analysis, design and construction of several securement system prototypes, and extensive testing of both the operational and engineering aspects of the securement system.
