Abstract

This paper has shown that the disabled, elderly and the able-bodied all experience similar problems with cars. Many of these problems are due to detailed design considerations rather than to structural engineering aspects. Thus, the clear design guidelines which have emerged are compatible withcurrent car styling and will benefit all car users. None of the recommended dimensions are beyond the range currently available on popular cars, although at present no single car incorporates them all but it is hoped thatthis will be remedied in the future.
