    本研究では，高齢者の移動の確保に関する問題を解決するために，できるだけ自分の体を動かして移動することができる，パーソナルモビリティビークルの開発と，公共交通機関の連携の可能性について，実験を行うことを目的としている．これまでに開発したアシスト機能付きパーソナルモビリティビークルの操舵機構を後輪操舵から前輪操舵に改修し，最小旋回半径が電動カートの規格に収まり，かつ操舵しやすい試作機を製作することができた．また，この試作機を用いて，アシスト機能使用時のユーザの身体負荷を実験的に確認した．通常の歩行，パーソナルモビリティビークルのアシスト機能使用時，パーソナルモビリティビークルをモータ動力のみで走行の３つの条件のもとで，下肢の筋活動を計測した結果，アシスト走行では，通常の歩行よりも運動負荷は低いが，下肢に一定の負荷を与えることができることが示唆された．この他にパーソナルモビリティビークルの応用として，高齢者などの買い物難民と呼ばれる人々への買い物支援があり，団地居住の高齢者に対して，アンケート調査の実施と買い物実験を試みた．さらに，海外における研究者との交流から，海外でもパーソナルモビリティビークルへの需要があり，共同研究を行うための調整を実施し，ビークルの制御や交通心理学的な面からの検討，高度交通システムなどとの協調による安全性確保の可能性などについて，海外研究者と議論を深めることができた．

    By using the bicycle simulator, driving data of young healthy subjects and elderly people with a history of cerebrovascular disorder were compared. As a result, evaluation index of driving maneuvering, changes in reaction time, response time, handle steering angle in braking operation It was confirmed that the size can be used. In addition, it was investigated that observing posture of driver by using visual sensor. Furthermore, it was confirmed that there are requests for a mobility devices which can be easily used for independent movement, theoretical analysis for new mobile device was carried out.

    In this research, the authors propose a Sit-to-Stand Assistance System (Intellectual silver-car) which has the functions assisting an elderly person. These care functions are the assistance for standing up and walking assistance by user’s posture information. These functions also have effects of minimizing care by using the own force. It is a a Sit-to-Stand Assistance System which is improved by adding some sensors.

    The purposes of this study are to create the guideline of a driving support system and to apply this device to actual occupational therapy. We carried out tests for the simple driving simulator and the haptic device system as well as other tests. We observed both healthy subjects and patients with cerebrovascular disorder, analyzing the difference between these two groups and creating indexes for practical applications.

    A Sit-to-Stand Assistance System that can provide functional assistance to stand up was developed. Two 650mm stroke AC servo motor driven linear actuators were squarely combined. The handrail was installed at the intersection of these actuators. When the user stands up from the chair, the handrail leads the user's motion. A personal computer (PC) is used to control the handrail motion. And the force plates are put under the feet. Parkinson's disease sufferers (PD) subjects were participated in this experiment. Subjects were not able to stand up with a fixed handrail. But they were able to stand up using this system without help.

    First, we've carried out investigation of support system individually for young drivers with disabilities and healthy and handicapped elderly drivers. We thought we should pay attention to motor learning. By Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (B) 2003-2004, we have developed a simple driving simulator, and used for several experiments. As a result of that, the availability of system has been verified. The system is consisted of a Personal Computer, a monitor, a driving device for PC games and testing applications. The result of initial experiment has shown that the system could be effective tool for one month program, of three stages, testing-training-testing, and led to improvement of subjects' performance. Because we have obtained good results of driving skills capabilities of elderly people and handicapped persons, and good possibility of re-learning of driving skills, we have published them in several conferences. Second, by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 2005-2006, the data standardization based on results of the simple driving simulator has been partially done. During second stage we've accomplished 3 tasks. (1) Measuring the reaction time and accuracy of steering wheel operation, (2) Providing basic data to support independent driving for some handicapped persons, (3) showing a model of driving support system in rehabilitation process. We've found that system could measure driving skill status of handicapped persons. Moreover, it is reasonable tool to motivate handicapped persons and help them to deal with their disorder status positively. We've presented our outcome at different international academic conferences. (2005, 2006) It is also important to mention that the results of reaction time and accuracy of steering wheel operation recorded for handicapped drivers with CVD, are almost equal to those results of healthy drivers. Our future study will focus on collecting more data, analyzing and giving specific recommendation.
