Objective The RampCo is a technologically advanced folding ramp, for automatic ascending and descending of wheelchair users, thus paving the way to Universal Accessibility in buildings and public spaces. RampCo is a portable ramp that can be automatically packed in the form of an all-in-one transport case and can be transferred easily and quickly by hand. RampCo will have a lightweight design due to the use of smart composite materials that will ensure the best strength/weight ratio.The RampCo, on the wheelchair user’s command, will transport the wheelchair safely several meters all the way up the stairs, without any assistance. The RampCo will operate on slopes beyond the typical 8% (5deg angle) reaching and up to 60% (30deg angle). RampCo will be a revolutionary product in the ramp market since no other portable, foldable, extendable device exists worldwide with this feature. RampCo will be able to climb all sorts of straight stairs up to a slope of 60%. It will allow the wheelchair user to safely ascent to elevations from 50 cm (3 stairs steps) up to 140 cm (8 stairs steps). RampCo will be designed and developed in order to provide a safe accessibility solution for manually pushed and motorised wheelchairs in various kind of stairs (concrete based, glass, metal). RampCo will provide operation and navigation information to the wheelchair users, through Bluetooth technology and will allow remote access by the installer using a developed mobile application for monitoring and controlling in case of functional problems.The RampCo could have a massive uptake to serve a practically infinite number of cases with a difference in elevation, which are currently left inaccessible or are serviced in a poor way, with no provision for use by disabled citizens without assistance and more often than not, with a compromise on safety or aesthetics. For example public buildings, hotels, museums, archaeological sites, exhibition centers, industry, banks, shops, private homes, etc. Fields of science engineering and technologymaterials engineeringcompositeshumanitieshistory and archaeologyarchaeologyethnoarchaeologyengineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringinformation engineeringtelecommunicationsradio technologybluetooth Programme(s) FP7-SME - Specific Programme "Capacities": Research for the benefit of SMEs Topic(s) SME-2013-1 - Research for SMEs Call for proposal FP7-SME-2013 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme BSG-SME - Research for SMEs Coordinator CY.R.I.C CYPRUS RESEARCH AND INNOVATION CENTER LTD Address Agias elenis 6 agias elenis building 4th floor flat office 43 1060 Lefkosia Cyprus See on map Region Κύπρος Κύπρος Κύπρος Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Panayiotis Philimis (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window EU contribution No data Participants (9) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all DEGONDA-REHAB SA Switzerland EU contribution € 339 325,90 Address Avenue du rond point 8 1002 Lausanne See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Andre Degonda (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data SIEGERT ELECTRONIC GMBH Germany EU contribution € 172 800,26 Address Pfannenstielstrasse 10 90556 Cadolzburg See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Christia Schmaus (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data PT POLIMER TECNIC SL Spain EU contribution € 222 875,77 Address Calle romani 2 17457 Riudellots de la selva See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Quim Aliu (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data A.
