Abstract
Personal mobility vehicle (PMV) for the people with limited mobility has been developed. This PMV is propelled by kicking off the ground by foot and electric motor assist the gliding. It aims to assist short distance transportation in urban area e.g. moving from a home to a train station. Folding mechanism makes it possible to carry PMV on public transportations and will help to extend the area of the user’s activities. In this paper, the overview of our developed PMV, simulation model and the validation according to the results of preliminary experiments are mentioned.
