The Design

About Gaaba Spedbarnsvogn

Gaaba er en stor trille for barnehager og barnehagelignende institusjoner, utviklet for å transportere flere spedbarn på daglige turer og under evakuering. Rammen begrenser krafttapet som følge av strukturell deformasjon, og karbonfiberarmert plast reduserer den totale vekten. Store dekk, ekstra trinn og håndtak gjør det lettere for vognen å komme seg over ujevnt underlag. Håndtakenes posisjon ble fastsatt gjennom bevegelsesanalyse basert på publiserte gjennomsnittsmål for kroppsdata hos ansatte i barnehager. Gaaba måler 1470 x 670 x 1010 millimeter og veier 25 kilogram. Målet er å beskytte barna og redusere den daglige belastningen på de ansatte.

Unique Properties
A large stroller designed as a disaster prevention and evacuation device that enhances survivability by improving rough road running ability and safety as evacuation equipment in the event of a disaster, reducing the burden on childcare workers in normal times, and pursuing ergonomic ease of use. 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.
