  • Abstract:
  • This paper concentrates on explaining the engineering behind designing and fabrication of an electric kart which is a low ground clearance vehicle, usually runs over flat racing circuits considering a safer, rigid and torsional free frame, well-mounted gear system along with braking and steering mechanism. We proceed towards our design and modelled its various components in Solid works & PTC Creo and Whenever required finite element analysis (FEA) was also done on the continuously loaded components. Four simple objectives must be met through the iterative design process, and they must be applied to every component of the vehicle: durability, safety and ergonomics, light weight, and high performance. We also introduce a very New Concept of “Intelligent Braking System” (IBS) which can stop the vehicle within 3 to 4 seconds running at a speed of around 50 KM. The intelligent braking system is a completely autonomous system. Intelligence braking system is an advanced braking system in which a very natural and gradual braking is practiced.The complete IBS circuit is designed using several speed and object detection sensors and micro controller to activate the solenoid valve. when the solenoid valve is activated, the compressed air passes to the double Acting Pneumatic Cylinder and pushed the pneumatic piston towards outwards exerting a required force over the master cycler of the hydraulic braking system. The braking arrangement is used to slow down the wheels gradually or suddenly due to the piston movement.
