To suit the requirements of disabled drivers with these special circumstances, this high technology solution allows for the vehicle to be steered using the left leg through a rotating footplate. There is no use of the arms in using primary driving controls.NEED OF FOOT OPERATED STEERINGTHERE ARE HANDICAPPED PEOPLE WHO HAVE WEAK UPPER PORTION OF BODY.INNOVATIVE MECHANISM TO CONVERT THE EXISTING AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VEHICLE USEFUL FOR PERSON WITH DISABILITES TO USE UPPER PORTION OF BODY.MECHANICAL COMPONENTS SEAT: All mechanism is to be attached with the seat of the vehicle.FOOT STRAP: To hold foot in position. ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS: Switches, variable resistors, power unit, driving motors etc. used for transmission and manoeuvre of vehicle.STEERING MECHNISM: Various link arrangement for steering.

VARIOUS MOTIONS AND CONTROLSSTEER LEFT AND RIGHT LEFT PEDAL DOWN: STEER LEFT RIGHT PEDAL DOWN: STEER RIGHTACCELERATE BOTH PEDAL PRESSED FROWARD: FORWARD ACCELERATIONBOTH PEDAL PRESSED DOWNWARD: REVERSE ACCELERATION.BREAKS CENTRAL PEDAL PRESSED DOWN WITH BOTH PEDAL PRESSED DOWN: BREAKING ACTION

GEAR MECHANISM THERE IS NO GEAR MECHANISM RATHER THE VEHICLE HAVE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VIA VARIABLE RESISTORSADVANTAGEThis is very innovative idea for handicapped person with inactive upper limbs.The design is simple and easy to implement.Operation and handling is easy and can be learned with little practice.Automatic transmission makes it easy for handicapped person to drive vehicle.

DISADVANTAGESTHIS CAN BE IMPLEMENTED IN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (GEARLESS) VEHICLES ONLY.INITIAL PRACTICE IS REQUIRED TO BECOME HABITUAL OF NEW STEERING SYSTEM.MORE ANALYSIS AND EXPERIMENTS ARE REQUIRED TO MAKE DESIGN AND WORKING MORE RELIABLE AND SAFE.CONCLUSIONTHIS AMAZING INNOVATIVE IDEA OF IMLEMENTING

THANKYOU.!!!.
