Project

In transportation vehicles used by many people, it is important to reduce accidents and problems while riding in the vehicle. A safety device, a suspension hand, is an important piece of equipment that is directly involved in holding a passenger’s body in a moving vehicle. The “Gentle strap” was developed based on the optimum cross-sectional shape of the grip section, the result of research into “easy-to-grip straps” conducted jointly by Mikami Kakohzai and the Welfare Ergonomics Laboratory of Kyushu University.
