Abstract
Providing a user-friendly campus for all persons is important for providing an equity justice system. To investigate the feasibility of upgrading affordable and commercialized products that were developed for the convenience of able-bodied individuals while incorporating safety protocols designed to prevent hazardous conditions that may occur to individuals who are physically challenged. We plan to develop an open-source hardware interface by integrating the controller area network (CAN) and safety monitoring/responding circuitries to upgrade the safety of devices designed for use by the physically challenged.
