Abstract:
According to census made in 2011 there were approximately 54 lakh patient suffering from
movement disability. Our aim is to design & fabricate 3wheeler dual controlled system vehicle
which will be driven by both escort as well as the handicap person. This vehicle will help to
increase the travelling range of handicap persons by increasing their mobility. The side-car was
designed on Solidworks & after all sorts of analysis positive results were shown. The side-car
will be coupled to the aprilia sr150. The handicap person travelling on wheelchair will be
entering into the side-car with the help of motorized ramp. This vehicle will be driven by
handicap person using joystick which will be controlling basic things like steering, acceleration
& brakes. For safety of the handicap person we will be using special E-Z lock & seat belt
arrangements. In case of emergency separate kill switch arrangement will be given. Our project
will change the travelling sense of handicap people to live a better & normal life & help them
travel across the society.
