Fit E: HEV, which can be operated only with both feet, also appears ... Honda Welfare Vehicle Test drive
Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (Honda) and Honda Access were released on December 3rd and November 4th, "Fit E: HEV", which is the only Honda Franz system in Japan, which can be operated only in both feet, and April last year.For media that can be actually experienced in Honda's welfare initiatives, including the Fit E: HEV experience test drive, which is also equipped with Honda Tech Matic system for those who are not good at both hands.Welfare vehicle test drive and experience event were held.
The vehicles and products prepared for this event are four types of welfare vehicles: techmatic systems, Franz systems, passenger seat lift -up seats, and wheelchair slope vehicles.As a welfare product, there are two types of visual impaired navigation systems, "Ashiirase", and athletics.
The techmatic system and the Franz system are the names of the auxiliary device attached so that those with disabilities can drive on their own.The techmatic system can be driven only by hand, and the Franz system can be driven only with the feet.The Tech Matic System is a historic operation aid system, which was launched in 1976 and the Franz system launched in 1982, and supports the latest fit E: HEV.
The techmatic system has five items, a manual driving auxiliary device, a handle turning knob, an error operation prevention plate, left hand turn signal lever, and an accelerator pedal for left foot.Attach these in a combination of people with disabilities who drive.
The Franz system was a system developed in Germany in 1965.Honda received technical guidance from developer Franz in 1981 and sold its first Franz system in 1982 with its own technology.Use the footsteer pedal unit, the footed combination switch as the basic standard equipment, the foot shift pedal, the passive seat belt (automatic wearing seat belt), and the floor carpet (for franz system) are lined up as exclusive options.
車イス仕様車：ベルトを接続した様子。For welfare vehicles, the passenger seat lift -up sheet and side lift up seats are compatible with "Fried" and "Step Wagon".The passenger seat rotation sheet is compatible with Fit, "N-WGN" and "Shuttle".The wheelchair-specific vehicle is compatible with "N-BOX", Fried and Step Wagon.This time, the test ride was prepared for the passenger seat lift-up sheet, the side lift upsheet, and the wheelchair-specific N-BOX.
It is easy to understand that it is considered a navigation system that is attached to shoes, according to the visual impairment.Since the unit and vibrator attached to the shoes operate in conjunction with the smartphone app, the destination information of the map app can be seen by vibration vibration attached to the shoes.For example, even if the map app says, "I'm heading east," I can't proceed to the east because I don't know which direction is right for visually impaired.However, if you tell the east by vibrator vibration, you can go without mistake.If you use the same, you can understand the guidance information without being aware of the direction at the vibration site (instep, outer, heel) and tempo.The company has been used by more than 30 people with disabilities, has been improving while gaining feedback, and is developing with the goal of selling at the end of 2022.
For athletics cars, the flagship "Sho

At the experience test drive, I was able to take a test drive slowly, touched welfare products up close, and tried it, so it was a valuable experience.
テックマチックシステム：ハンドルに取り付けられたノブは360度回転する。取り付け位置は自由。◆ Techmatic system with exquisitely adjusted accelerator and brake.
In the techmatic system, you can imagine a person with a disability who can not use the feet, and to operate the accelerator and brake with the left hand, so you are confused at first, but you can get used to it just by running a few minutes on the course.can.This is the result of Honda's efforts, which continue to develop as easy and easy to use as possible.
The accelerator can be pulled in front and the brake can be pressed forward.The brake is quite strong with a little pressing, and it is devised so that it stops firmly with a small force during the quick brake.Regarding the steering, it can be turned around with one hand thanks to a knob that rotates 360 degrees in a free place.Even when turning back like the S -shaped corner, it was not necessary to release the steering, so it was easy to use.
フランツシステム：ドアにはオプションのパッシブシートベルトが装備されている。運転席のドアを閉めれば、シートベルトが自動装着できる。◆ Franz system that felt more difficult to operate right foot than left foot operation
The experience test drive of the Franz system was a system for those with disabilities in the upper body, so it was urged to operate everything with his feet.I did it with my feet from the point where I opened the door, and pressed the engine start button with my feet.Although it was quite difficult for this, some people with disabilities also wear a normal seat belt with feet.Pull the seat belt with the left foot, switch to the right foot on the way and insert it into the buckle.
When driving, the left foot is equipped with a steering wheel like a bicycle pedal integrated with shoes, so the steering operation is performed by rowing the pedal back and forth.This operation is quite confusing at first, but if you drive a few minutes, you will gradually get used to it.However, when it was necessary to use the switches to be operated with the right foot, it was quite impatient.As you can see as a reason, you have to operate turncars switches, hazard switches, light switches, horn switches, etc. on your right foot, so you do not immediately know the location of the button, so you can check it out.It has become.In order to ride, it will be difficult to drive on public roads unless you fully understand the position and not be able to get a turn signal without looking at it.
助手席リフトアップシート：助手席は完全にドアの外にまでせり出す。このおかげで、身体が不自由でも腰を下ろすだけでよく、車内に乗り込む動作などはまったく必要ない。◆ Lift -up sheet that you want to know for those who are difficult to move your body
At the welfare vehicle corner, we were able to experience the passenger seat lift -up seat attached to Fried.In order to experience the same sensation as those who have a disability or the old man who are difficult to move, with the cooperation of the Japan Care Fit Cooperation Organization, the supporters are rolled up on the knee and elbows, and both ankle is on the ankle.It was an experience after dare to make a weight and make it difficult to move the body.
Because the knees were hard to bend, it was difficult to climb the steps, and it was difficult to get caught in the door and handrails because the elbows were hard to bend, so it was realized that getting on and off was so difficult.For those who are difficult to move in this way, I felt that the lift -up seat was a very useful function.The passenger seats are protruding outside the door, so you only need to sit down on the sheet, so you don't have to climb the steps or take the railing.Once you sit down, press the switch on the left side of the seat or the seat to move automatically so that the seat fits in the passenger seat.
If you get rid of getting on and off, it will be easier to go out.
車イス仕様車：運転席と助手席の下からベルトが延びている。このベルトを車イスに接続する。◆ Wheelchairs are carried by winch rather than pressing by caregivers
And N-BOX, a mini car, was prepared for the wheelchair.It is named as a wheelchair -specific car, but the rear seats are left as they are so that they can be used everyday, and only when loading the wheelchair, the rear seat is tapped forward to make it flat.Usually, it is a four -seater, and when there is a wheelchair, it is an image of a three -seater.When I asked the person in charge, it was Honda's commitment to being able to use it normally.
The procedure for loading the wheelchair is designed so that it can be as easy as possible and without the need for power.There is a reason for this, and there are many women who care, and there are many elderly care, so if there is a necessary procedure, women will not be able to handle it.Therefore, it was designed so that anyone can defeat the rear seats and put out the slope.Even when loading the wheelchair, there is a mechanism like a wine under the driver's seat and the passenger seat, and the belt connected to the winch is hooked on the wheelchair, and the button to operate the winch automatically pulls into the car.I'm going.The remote control is also drawn only when pushing for safety, and it stops when you release your hand.When the wheelchair is loaded, connect the wheelchair fixing belt to the back and fix it with two winches and two points behind, so the wheelchair does not move while driving.In addition, the seat belt of the person on the wheelchair is also attached, so you can drive without anxiety.
I actually sat down in a wheelchair, loaded, fixed, and driven, but it was comfortable to ride, had a wide front view, had a space on the head, and had no fear of being put on.It was not an exaggeration, but a comfortable environment that I could not imagine on a mini car.
靴のベロ部分にあしらせの本体を設置する。◆ Revolutionary system that can use map apps even for those with eye disabilities
In the experience of the work, I was able to actually turn the turn to the left.As we approached the angle, the vibrator attached to the shoes became faster, and the sensation that the vibration was transmitted only on the left foot at the angle of the turn was easy for healthy people to understand.
According to Ryohei Tokuda of Ashirase Co., Ltd., who was in charge of the explanation, it uses the GPS signal, but it is better to capture more signals from satellites.However, where the GPS signal is weak, the route can be judged and provided correctly by multiple sensors inside the device.He said that the sales time was announced in FY2022, but in fact it is likely to be in the second half of 2022.According to the current degree of perfection, it exceeds 70 %, but from here on, there are many detailed fine adjustments for commercialization, and it is often difficult.For example, there are still many challenges to get over, such as durability for rain and water, and having to brush up on the app side.
陸上競技用車いす翔＜KAKERU＞のフラグシップモデル。右後輪に車止めがあるが、これがないと風が吹いただけで走り出してしまうほどタイヤの回転が滑らか。◆ Awesome wheelchair racer that will proceed even if the wind blows lightly
Athletics cares were able to actually ride on the challenge
If you turn the hand rim while paying attention to the center of gravity, you will be terribly proceeding with the thinness of the tires and the excellent bearing.It was just around 5 meters by turning the hand rim from the top to the bottom.As for handling, the power of the spring to return the steering to the center is strongly set because the straight progression stability is basically prioritized.Therefore, it takes a lot of power to bend.
Mr. Yasushi Ikeuchi, Officer of Honda Technical Research Institute, Inc., who was in charge of explanation, said that some models were diamond coated so that gloves would not slip even on rainy days.Regarding the weight, the challenge
The top athlete running on the actual race may have a maximum speed of about 70km/h, and the average speed is about 30km/h.Both Sho
