DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A feasibility study for the development of a friction drive inclined platform lift will be conducted. The proposed approach will utilize a twenty-year old design that was never sold commercially due to cost ineffectiveness, and nonconformance to safety regulations. This project's main technical innovation will be to replace the major cost component of the twenty-year old lift, the steel rack and pinion drive, with a low cost friction drive. The friction drive is expected to cost close to one tenth that of the current rack and pinion drive for materials, machining, and installation. In addition, the lift is not currently designed to meet commercial safety regulations. In order to meet these regulations, several technical design changes will need to be made. The costs of each of these design changes will result in a final cost estimate that will be used to determine overall cost feasibility. These design changes, along with replacing the rack and pinion drive, will lead to an initial prototype design ready for phase two, Product Development and Testing.

描述（由申请人提供）：将进行摩擦驱动倾斜平台升降机开发的可行性研究。所提出的方法将利用一个20年前的设计，该设计由于成本低和不符合安全法规而从未在商业上销售。该项目的主要技术创新将是用低成本的摩擦驱动器取代使用了20年的旧电梯的主要成本部件，即钢齿条和小齿轮驱动器。摩擦传动的材料、加工和安装成本预计将接近目前齿轮齿条传动的十分之一。此外，电梯目前的设计不符合商业安全法规。为了满足这些规定，需要进行几项技术设计变更。这些设计变更中的每一项的成本将产生最终成本估计，用于确定总体成本可行性。这些设计变更，沿着更换齿条和小齿轮传动装置，将导致为第二阶段产品开发和测试做好准备的初始原型设计。
