Multi-purpose EV for Physically challenged people and old age: A Survey

– This survey paper explores the transformative potential of a multi-purpose, three-wheeled electric vehicle (EV) in revolutionizing local mobility, particularly for local vendors and individuals with physical disabilities. Central to this innovation is the incorporation of dual batteries with solar charging capabilities, which provide sustainable power solutions. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with cutting-edge antitheft security systems and a compact trolley for versatile use. A ground-breaking feature of this EV is the rotating seat, designed with anthropometry principles to ensure optimal comfort and accessibility for all users. The vehicle’s advanced AR-based maintenance applications facilitate easy upkeep and battery health monitoring, reflecting a strong commitment to user-centric innovation. The trolley, enhanced by a scissors jack lifting system powered by a linear actuator, can handle loads of up to 350 kg. This feature simplifies the storage and handling of goods, specifically aiding physically challenged and elderly users. The emphasis on practical, inclusive solutions is a key theme throughout the paper. Furthermore, the technical superiority of essential components, including the Motor Controller, Motor, Solar Controller, Battery, and Throttle, ensures enhanced operational efficiency. By examining the mobility challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, the paper underscores the societal importance of inclusive transportation solutions. This research lays the groundwork for future advancements, such as the integration of electric, solar, and hydrogen cell engines, underscoring a forward-looking approach to sustainable and transformative mobility solutions. The envisioned innovations carry the promise of substantial societal impact, paving the way for a more inclusive and sustainable future in local transportation. This comprehensive survey highlights the potential of these technological advancements to profoundly reshape the mobility landscape for various community segments.
