The Scott Driving System has been developed over the
last 40 years and is a complete system which permits the
physically challenged to safely perform all driving tasks
without assistance, including entering and leaving the vehicle.
The system provides for safe extended mobility for the
physically challenged driver who must remain in his or her
wheelchair while driving. The system has been successful in a
variety of disabilities. Patients with post polio, multiple
sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, spinal atrophy and spinal cord
injury up to C4/C5 are successfully driving on a daily basis.
Driving control system
A single lever system combines all actual driving functions.
Forward movement of the control column actuates the
accelerator. Backwards movement applies the brake. Rotation
of the mini-wheel or tri-pin post steers the vehicle. A maximum
force of six ounces is required for control. Where finger
dexterity is present, the mini-wheel is preferred. For spinal
cord injury where finger or wrist motion may not be available,
the tri-pin post is used for either the right or left hand.
Steering system
Steering is accomplished through a closed loop hydraulic
system. Primary hydraulic power is provided by the engine.
An automatic emergency back-up system is provided which is
activated in the event of engine failure or any failure of the
primary system. The emergency system can also be activated
manually.
Brakes
A tandem vacuum boosted brake system with a separate
storage reservoir is provided as a back up to the vehicle's
power brake system. The total fore and aft movement of the
control column from full throttle to full brake is six inches.
Electrical control system
An electrical system is provided which brings all of the
vehicle's electrical controls to a panel of illuminated
light-contact push buttons on a control panel within reach of
the driver. Any eight of the controls can be duplicated in the
center of the mini-wheel for one handed operation. Other
controls may be duplicated for the convenience of the driver.
At the top is the radio control. Then the buttons which control
everything from lift to windows, to windshield wipers,
headlights, horn, turn signals, ignition. The bottom panel
controls the heat and a/c.
Entry system
An entry package which incorporates an electrically operated
wheelchair lift with electrically operated doors in an option of
this system. Controls are provided outside the vehicle in the
rear tail light or on a hand held remote control and inside the
vehicle both at the lift itself and at the driving station.
