EXISITING MODEL
 DISADVANTAGE

• There is no suitable driving mechanism

• Difficult to operate
 INTRODUCTION

• Now a day’s vehicles have become an entity of

day to day life.
• Though there are some vehicles and add-ons in
market for physical challenged people but none of
it is suitable for Armless people.
• What can we do? Is it possible to control the
vehicle without arms.
 OUR IDEA

• Here we are going to use steering mechanism

which can be controlled by legs.

• The braking and acceleration can be controlled

by hinged joints type pedals.

• Extra set of rear wheels are to be added for

balancing purpose.
 CONSTRUCTION

• Slider is placed at the front boot space.(left side)

• Mechanism to convert the sliding motion to angular

motion is placed below front chasis.

• Two pedals are provided to control the acceleration and

braking system in the front boot space.(right side)

• Extra set of rear wheels are provided to balance the

vehicle. Accelerator and braking cables are connected to
the hinged point mechanism.
 WORKING

• Slider is moved to and fro .

• Slider motion is converted into angular motion.

• As a result the front wheel can be tilted right and

left from the centre axis.

• When pedal is pressed the hinged point will lift

the corresponding lever so that cable is drawn as
a result the acceleration / braking is controlled.

 METHODOLOGY

• Purchase of material.

• Fabrication of control mechanism.

• Assembly of accelerator and braking system.

• Installation of control mechanism.

• Experimentation.
 OBJECTIVE

The primary objectives of this proposed project are,

• Design and fabrication of control mechanism of

vehicle for armless people.

• Installation of mechanism on the vehicle and

experimentation.

 DELIVERABLES

• (a) Working model of vehicle.

• (b) Filing of design patent.
 FUTURE APPLICATION

• In the future, this mechanism can be used as an

add-on to be attached to the vehicles, so that the
arm less people can drive the vehicle with ease.
