Abstract:
According to census made in 2011 there were approximately 5,436,604 patient
suffering from movement disability. Our aim is to design and install additional control
system of side-car scooter which was designed by previous batch students and
chassis modification for stability improvement 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.Additional Steering system
is mounted in side-car compartment along with a lever to accelerate and decelerate
the vehicle.The side-car will be coupled to the aprilia sr150. This vehicle will be
driven by handicap person using electric power steering (EPS) mounted in side-car
compartment which will reduce the effort to steer to a greater extent. In case of emergency
separate kill switch arrangement is given which will avoid any mis-happening
while driving. .
Our project will change the travelling sense of handicap people to live a better and
in-dependency life and help them to travel across the society with ease.
