360 Degree Rotating Vehicle

Description

DESCRIPTION

A 360-degree rotating vehicle is a unique type of vehicle with the remarkable ability to rotate fully around its vertical axis, aligned with the vehicle’s center of mass. This extraordinary mobility grants it a zero-degree turning radius, allowing the vehicle to pivot in place without needing to move forward or backward. In this comprehensive examination, we present a model of a simple 360-degree rotating vehicle, featuring a combination of DC gear motors, servo motors, and a control unit expertly managed by an Arduino-driven motor driver. Moreover, the control unit interfaces seamlessly with an Android Bluetooth application via a Bluetooth module, enabling intuitive remote operation.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Continuous improvement and progressive development of modern technology has brought about the increment of vehicles on streets in a large scale. Besides, due to rapid increase of financial stability, many people use their personal vehicles in their daily life. Most often they need to deal with the issues like short parking places, taking more time to park the vehicle or to take risky U-turns and so on. In that case, 360-degree rotating vehicle is probably the sole solution to park as many cars as possible in small, tight parking spaces with a short amount of time as this vehicle is capable of moving through all directions with respect to the vertical axis.

OBJECTIVES

1. To design and fabricate a model of vehicle that will rotate 360-degree
2. To reduce the turning radius of a vehicle in order to ensure trouble-free U-turn
3. To establish four-wheel steering mode and parallel parking mode in the vehicle
4. To ensure the proper controlling of the vehicle model by Arduino & Bluetooth Module

METHODOLOGY

In this design, the vehicle model will be powered through a rechargeable battery. The control system of this vehicle consists of Arduino, Motor Driver and a Control Unit. Arduino provides the necessary signals to the motor driver first. Motor driver transmits the signal to the four DC motors which are attached with servo motor horns as well as connected with the four wheels of the vehicle. Horns are operated by Servo Motors as they are directly connected with Arduino. With the help of these servos, horns are capable of having specific angular turn (i.e. 30°, 45° or 90°) and this new position of the horns will be locked up. Then the wheels would start to rotate with the help of DC motors.
