Desarrollo de un vehículo recreativo eléctrico sostenible implementando sistemas de seguridad avanzada

Abstract

This document contains theoretical information of the Technical modality degree project, prior to obtaining the title of Mechatronic Engineer. The topic arose from the need to improve ride karts in aspects of safety for the user and care for the environment, therefore, it consists in the development of a sustainable electric recreational vehicle using advanced safety systems. To decrease the environmental impact, the use of an electric motor has been taken as a basic measure because combustion engines are usually used for this type of vehicles, which causes, first of all, a high demand of fossil fuels and consequently this directly affects the massive consumption of natural resources, they also have a high emission of polluting gases such as carbon monoxide. In terms of safety, there are also many deficiencies in the conventional models of this type of vehicle, causing recurrent fractures in sensitive areas of the body such as hips, neck, arms and legs, that is why advanced safety systems have been implemented and consist of 2 driving modes, which are the conventional mode and the safe mode designed mainly for children, the conventional mode has a limit of up to 45km/h and uses sensors on the sides of the vehicle that will emit an audible and light alarm if threats are detected at a short distance, on the other hand, the safe driving mode consists of limiting the speed of up to 15km/h, it also uses sensors in the front of the vehicle that will have a certain range for the detection of immobile objects, there will be a limit distance for the detection of those objects that will cause the sensors to act at a certain moment, causing the engine to stop completely.
