Final Year Project

Project Title

Power Train of an Electric Vehicle

Description

The objective of this capstone design project is to build an experimental electric vehicle. The essential element is to build a power-train, which would be responsible for the transmission of mechanical power from DC machine to vehicle’s moving shafts. The electrical part consists of a user-controlled drive for a compound DC motor to achieve variable speeds, and to start the vehicle from rest to a predefined set of speeds. The second objective is to build an adaptive cruise control mechanism owing to which the vehicle would be able to maintain a certain distance from other vehicles in an automatic fashion. This is a joint project with Tariq Ismail and Osama Younis.
