dc.descriptionFinal report and team photo for Project 20 of ME450, Winter 2009 semester.en
dc.description.abstractAt the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi, Ghana, locally made mortuary trucks are used to transport deceased bodies from the crowded hospital rooms to morgues that are in separate buildings. Multiple bodies are usually transported during a single trip to the morgue. Currently the trucks in use are difficult to maneuver, difficult to operate, and create sanitation issues. We have designed and fabricated a new truck that is inexpensive, easy to maneuver, controls bodily fluids, conceals bodies from public view, and performs well in an indoor and outdoor environment with minimal maintenance.en
