System design of a two wheeler self balanced vehicle

Abstract

The project is about the designing of a two wheeler self balanced car. The two wheeler vehicle would be able to balance itself and can be stabilized against any impact and in zero velocity as well. We used two heavy rotating disks with hub motors at the chassis to compensate the tilt of the vehicle and get it stabilized. An android device is used to measure the tilt angle of the chassis using orientation sensor. The data then is sent to a bluetooth receiver that is connected with an arduino. An android application is developed which takes the angle of tilt of the vehicle as data input from the phone and sends a control signal to the arduino accordingly. Using the signals the vehicle is balanced by controlling the motor from the arduino which determines the tilt direction of the rotating disks. This vehicle is designed to provide the safety that two wheeler vehicle does not have during an impact. Our aim is to design a safe, cost effective and fuel efficient vehicle.
