Design and Development of a Solar Powered Vehicle for Physically Challenged People with Voice Recognition

Abstract

In the current scenario, transportation has become one of the most important requirements for humans. However, there is no suitable platform for physically challenged individuals to commute independently. For them, traveling is very difficult and challenging as they often have to depend on others to fulfill their transportation needs. Moreover, with the increasing utilization of vehicles, the consumption of fossil fuels like petrol and diesel keeps on increasing. This high consumption and demand for fuel result in enormous prices and also have adverse effects on the environment. Hence, we decided to solve both of these issues with a single concept. We have designed and developed a vehicle that helps physically challenged individuals to commute easily without others' help. The vehicle is powered only by solar energy, and we introduced a new technique to start and stop the vehicle using voice recognition.
