Design of automated vehicle for handicap using artificial techniques
Project Area of Specialization Artificial IntelligenceProject SummaryThis project comprises of facilitating the handicapped people in driving vehicles. We use majorly artificial intelligence by use of various electronic equipment and form a mixed reality system in which the user( the handicapped) can manueavor and drive the vehicle by using only one hand and therefore we are a building a vehicle for a person who has atleast one hand functioning. We will incoroporate various driver asssist systems such as lane assist, departure systems, automatic parking but these all depend on the funding available.
Funding would also enable us to for the electric route which would cost a bit more than the mechanical but would provide much more room for technical developments.
We are planning our system with conventional engine, about 128cc with F1 styled body in which we are also trying to incoroporate a system in which a handicapped person could directly join his/her wheelchair and start driving the car.
For controls we are incorporating flex and various sensors inside a glove type control that enables all the necessary controls for the car.
This project is more of a pathway for us to incorporate AI related technology in todays automotive industry and by doing this project would enable us to furthur come up with new and more innovatice ideas
Project ObjectivesMain Objective:
Our Objective is to design and develop a Hand-Gestured Controlled Car for a Handicapped Person having Only one Hand Using a Flex Sensor having Obstacle-Detection Sensor to avoid Collisions.
Other objectives include
1: Ease and comfort with the required functioning capability of a normal car for the hancdicapped
2: Use of artifical intelligence and electronic equipment for the assist in daily driving
3: Create safety procedures and equipment if a failure occurs with the present equiment
4: Driver is quick to learn of the vehicle's response and the vehcle's controls are uniform
5: To bring new technology and be a moral booster for the handicapped society.
6: To implemnt all that we have earnt in all four years
7:Make a car that is cheap to make and has technology that present cars in our country lack for the average and more than that for the disabled
Project Implementation MethodFirst of all we've to complete PCB Design Relate with Accelerometer, Flex Sensor, Transmitter with respect to Glove and Car as well as Mechanical Design of Car. Programming is the important part of project one have to make a initial programme for controlling of System according to Design. Then, we've to check the outputs of accelerometer, flex Sensor using Oscilloscope and Bread Board respectively and Figure out the Installation of Battery Connections and Power Supply Circuitry. Build and test the data transfer Between each Module and Micro-Controller. Then we've to Assemble all the Components, Test Modules and Functionality On Car. If there's any error in Functionality we've to fix and Troubleshoot the all the Errors and Bugs and take a Required Output.
Benefits of the ProjectFreedom and self-reliance are essential to keeping an individual with a disability in good health psychologically. Having to rely on others for everything, including transportation, can really make disabled people feel helpless, and this can lead to a defeatist attitude and a poor quality of life. A great way to build up a sense of self-reliance and freedom in a disabled person is to use handicap accessible vehicles for transportation.
Our project’s provides benefits including
1-Relief From the Physical Struggle
This project is totally based on artificial intelligence thus it provides relief from physical struggles ,such as to apply brakes, accelerator and clutches . Less efforts provide required maximum performance .
2-Easier to Get in and Out of the Vehicle (More Comfortable)
Smaller cars, trucks, and even minivans can make getting in and out very difficult for someone in a wheelchair. No more folding, unfolding, or cumbersome seat transfers handicap vehicle project make the process so much easier, with ramps and lifts that enable wheelchair passengers to safely and easily enter and exit the vehicle. Transferring a wheelchair passenger into a vehicle that is not wheelchair accessible can be painful and exhausting for both passenger and caregiver. It can put pressure on the shoulders, back, or both, depending on how the transfer is performed. A handicap vehicle project eliminates these issues with ramps and lifts for easy access. Tie-downs keep the wheelchair in place. And since disabled passengers can remain in their wheelchairs, the ride is more comfortable.
3-Saves Time
Our Handicap vehicle is of less weight and small size , which make it able to access through every type of route and traffic situation making it easy to move without facing trouble while saving time compared to other vehicles.
4- More safe and Secure
Our project is Artificial intelligence based, which make it more efficient and responsive to any condition as compare to other vehicles .less time of action and less physical struggle makes our project very useful to prevent injuries and accident from happening.
5- Low cost
This vehicle accommodates only one passenger therefore it has small size and lesser weight thus it’s manufacturing cost will be lower as compare to other transport which will be affordable for everyone.
6- Economic importance
Our project is need of future , we can manufacture our own handicap vehicles and initially operate them locally with affordable prices to grow our local industry , with the passage of time we can export to the world as well. Hence this will play key role to economy of country.
The Technical Details of our Project Includes (i) Glove Module and (ii) Car Module mainly which will correlate working of all components to require output.
Glove Module:
First of all, the Glove will be activated which will give signal to Controller from the Curl of the Flex Sensor on Glove, and in this way the Controller will generate a speed signal for Accelerometer which will be given to motor.
Car Module:
The Module will be activated from Car side then Ranging Sensor(HC-SR O4) which is working as an obstacle Detecting Sensor, will see that the car is at distance from obstacle or not; if not the sensor will not allow to get signals From Glove, otherwise it’ll read the Signal from the glove and then turn the motors according to the requirement or signal given by gloves.
