With the increased trends of industrialization and global economic growth leading to the everchanging petrol prices and other price hikes, private transport system has become a costly affair. All these problems can be addressed with innovation. One of the most feasible solutions is turning towards renewable energies to solve the issues i.e., increasing the use of renewable energies like solar power in the place of fossil fuels. Everyone’s dream of owning a commercially viable solar vehicle is slowly becoming a reality. Electric vehicles are now available at an affordable price. This opportunity is taken towards the design of a Solar powered two-wheeler. Designing a solar vehicle is a multidisciplinary subject that covers the broad and complex aspects from various subjects. In the designed vehicle, solar panel is used as the power source and developed voltage, stored in the battery, is used to the drive the permanent magnet DC motor which drives the rear wheel of the vehicle.
When compared with the olden day’s life span of a human is decreased. The death rate due to accidents is extremely increased because of the rise in the number of vehicles. This automatic braking system will positively lessen the number of accidents due to brake failures. An Ultrasonic sensor is positioned in front of the vehicle and that system consists of an emitter and a receiver. The signal to the ultrasonic sensor module is based upon the distance of the object it actuates the motor shut down or brakes. Concerning the distance of the object from the vehicle the brakes are applied at long-distance input and the motor is shut down at shorter range input. Brakes are actuated by using the 12 V wiper motor. The movement of the vehicle is powered by a 24V DC type box motor which is directly connected to the wheels by a chain-driven mechanism. In addition to the smart stop technology, an IR sensor also detects the movement of the eye and switches off the motor if no movement is found for 3 seconds or more. Even in the case of Autonomous vehicles, this will prevent accidents at the time of unintentional inputs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
