4、 Physical Disabilities Terminology1. ScopeThe terms included in this SAE Information Report have been collected during the development ofSAE documents related to standards for the adaptation of vehicles for use by persons with physicaldisabilities. It includes only those terms that are pertinent to
5、the adaptive devices discipline, leaving to otherauthorities more common automotive engineering terms. Where several terms have a common meaning inthe practice, the Terminology Task Force has attempted to select the most appropriate term.The Terminology Task Force recognizes that there will be a nee
6、d to expand and update current terminologyas advances in the industry occur, and as related standards documents are completed. Accordingly, they willcontinue to develop and maintain this document to reflect those changes.1.1 PurposeThe purpose of this document is to define those terms which apply to
7、 adaptive devices utilized invehicles by persons with physical disabilities in order to facilitate and encourage:a. Utilization of consistent and understandable terminology in the preparation of related standardsdocuments, and;b. Communication between individuals from diverse backgrounds involved in
