Designing an Assistive Devices for Transferring a Wheelchair Users with Comparative Study using AHP Method and Delphi Method

Persons with disabilities in Indonesia increase significantly every year. The average increase of the number disabilities from 2012 to 2017 was 4.8%. Increasing the number of disabilities is not followed by an increase in accessibility and mobility for people with disabilities.

The purpose of the design is to solve dependencies and barriers in accessibility and mobility of wheelchair users. The output obtained is visualization design concept of wheelchair user transfer for entering and leaving a car according to the specified design requirement criteria.
