Design of an innovative retrofitted tricycle for a disabled person Ajit A Mohekar
A specifically designed platform and automated ramp, which allowed the wheelchair to be wheeled up or down. The prototype was designed using Computer-aided design (CAD) which helps to increase productivity by allowing the visualization of the desired component through the use of a large array of tools for analysis and design. Prototype testing including bump testing and steering testing has been carried out and the results obtained were quite satisfactory. The finalization of the design of the tricycle has been done by performing safety tests as per the ARAI scheme. This work targets a unique, cost-effective, and convenient mechanism in providing smooth transfer and mobility for the people who have disabilities.
