Abstract EN
A design concept is proposed for using a combination of two types of decision-making models to determine the design direction.
Based on research processes, it is conducted to solve rescue related issues in harsh terrain or landslides, which can often be attributed to the global climate becoming unstable, increasing the frequency of mudflows and landslides, therefore creating more emergencies of this type.
ATV vehicles are advantageous for such disasters.
In order to discover the needs for ATV’s carrying abilities, five rescue experts were interviewed and three additional experts participated in the AHP process.
A stretcher was determined to be the first priority to be mounted on an ATV.
Nine higher score items were selected to create a stretcher mechanism from a questionnaire survey in VOA.
ISM recognized the main target, with the intention to solve the safety problems (level 2) and the usability issues (level 3) of the proposed stretcher.
Finally, a new stretcher structure was designed with a spinal board to be safe and detachable for conveying patients.
The stretcher body can also be folded and hung up for easy transporting and even combined with the trunk pack which contains various breathing assistance equipment.
