About Gaaba Chaou pou Timoun

Gaaba se yon gwo chaou pou etablisman ki bay swen timoun, ki fèt pou pote plizyè tibebe pandan pwomnad chak jou ak pandan evakiyasyon. Chas la limite pèt fòs ki koze pa defòmasyon estriktirèl, epi plastik ranfòse ak fib kabòn diminye pwa total la. Gwo wou, mach adisyonèl ak manch ede chaou a pase sou tè difisil. Pozisyon manch lan te detèmine gras a yon analiz mouvman ki baze sou done piblik konsènan gwosè kò mwayen travayè ki nan swen timoun. Gaaba gen dimansyon 1470 x 670 x 1010 milimèt e li peze 25 kilogram. Objektif la se pwoteje timoun yo epi diminye tansyon chak jou sou anplwaye yo.

It is designed as a Dual Product (used in both normal times and emergencies) that combines these two goals and it can protect children in case of emergency.

Production Technology
The frame is designed to minimalize the loss of force due to the deformation of the structure. CFRP is used largely as the structural material to reducing the weight.
With the perspective of ergonomics, the position of the pushing handle were determined by the motion analysis performed for the average physique information of childcare workers published by the Japanese government agency.
In addition, large tires, additional steps and grips are equipped to break through rough terrain in evacuate.
Inspiration
Japan is one of the world's leading earthquake suffering countries. Countless lives had been lost in Tsunami and fire caused by giant earthquakes. Infant childcare facilities are no exception to suffer and it may require evacuation to the outside. A transporting infants who cannot walk on their own is indispensable. In addition, it's common in many childcare facilities to take a little walk with 4 to 5 infants on a cart to near park. Large strollers have been used for both daily and evacuate.
Project Duration
The project started in August 2020 in Tokyo Japan.
Operation Flow
The existing carts weighs too heavy to operate and is a heavy burden for childcare workers, while the design of existing products has not changed significantly for a long time.
RDS Ltd., Co. has been engaged in R&D of various motor sports related products for years, and has been an official partner of F1 team Scuderia AlphaTauri in recent. We have applied the technology to Gaaba because we have refined the technology in the environment where light, strong and durable products are required.
