Design and installation of additional control system of side-car scooter and chassis modification for stability improvement

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.
