Problem Statement● Traveling with a disability is a difficult process
● A person that uses an electric wheelchair must
transfer to a manual wheelchair before boarding
● Transfers by airport attendants can result in injury
or embarrassment
● Device desired would help make boarding process
safer and with less chair transfers
