An Electric Vehicle( EV) is a vehicle that includes an electric motor and runs on electricity. Propulsion in these vehicles occurs by one or more electric motors that are powered by rechargeable batteries. Unlike fossil-fuel powered vehicles, the electricity for EVs can be generated from a wide range of sources including nuclear power, solar power, tidal power, wind power and combination of these. Three main types of EVs include:

Vehicles that are directly powered by an external source of power,

Vehicles that are run on the electricity stored by an external source, and Vehicles that are powered by an on-board electric generator Based on these categories, electric vehicles includes four ...

Introduction.

In the automotive industry, today, electronic systems and mainly semiconductor technologies have really helped improve vehicle performance and harness numerous capabilities that were not present years ago. Key among these technologies are microcontroller chips which are involved in a wide array of functionalities ranging from braking, engine control, air bags, chassis control, entertainment, lighting and even infotainment among other functions that are now part of modern “smart cars”. In modern microcontroller chips, new functionalities can be implemented using software by leveraging the improved performance and memory features seen in modern designs. On the other hand, technology standardization and the ...

Technology 1: Hybrid Electric Vehicle

Introduction In 1997, Toyota rolled-out its sedan which was powered by both the conventional combustion and electric power trains. Effect on Daily Life People who have bought hybrid cars enjoyed lesser fuel expenses. Hybrid cars reduce the emission of CO2 which causes global warming. Owners have also felt a sense of pride and higher self-esteem knowing that they are doing something positive about global warming.

Needs

It has addressed the need for fuel economy, an alternative to fossil fuel and the planet’s protection from pollution damage. Fossil fuel will eventually run-out and in that event, electric ...

Abstract

The study uses the Posner paradigm to determine whether the condition of the cue can affect the reaction time of the subject. Most importantly is that the eye movement was prohibited. Using the data of 143 subjects, the ANOVA method and Bonferroni corrections, we have found out that the condition does influence the reaction time, however the difference between the cues is not significant Nonetheless the reaction time was far off from the target 100 ms due to inexperience and not understanding of the task set before the subjects. The results of the study have shown us two processes ...

Background

The past several years have been graced with an increase in the production and use of hybrid cars. Numerous automobile companies are exploring and introducing hybrid electric vehicles to the market, with several other companies to follows soon given the demand. It is imperative to outline that the introduction and the fast embrace and use of hybrid electric cars over the past few decades have been stimulated by several factors. Apart from the increasing demand for hybrid cars based on their advantages, the increase in production of these vehicles has been stimulated by the declining fuel reserves and concerns ...

Summary

While all the components of a brake system are important, it is imperative to acknowledge that some components play significant roles in the system as compared to others. One such component is the brake pad. In most cases, the brake pad is referred to as the friction material. It is responsible for generating the friction which opposed the movement of the wheel thus causing a stop to the movement of the automotive. This report is aimed at selecting a section or component of the brake system and presents its modification. As a consequence, the report highlights and discusses the ...

Feasibility Study on Solutions to efficiently power an electrical vehicle Abstract “Feasibility Study on Solutions to Efficiently Power and Charge Electrical Vehicles” The future of electric vehicles needs to shift toward the use of solar charging stations which can increase the feasibility of electric vehicles outside of urban areas. The solar powered charging stations can revolutionize the way the world views vehicles powered by renewable energy sources. These solar stations can be placed in rural areas which can allow the drivers to store and charge their vehicle, which will minimize the prevalence of vehicles being stranded without access to ...

SUMMARY

Global warming is a serious issue that threatens the survival of future generations. Various methods are being devised to reverse the effects of global warming such as the use of green energy. Motor vehicles running on fossil fuels produce greenhouse gases which are a major cause of global warming. Therefore, it’s almost impossible to address the issue of global warming without considering emissions from the transport industry. Electric vehicles are a viable and environmentally friendly alternative to internal combustion engine vehicles that combust fossil fuels. The vehicles are powered by a rechargeable battery that drives an electromagnetic motor. ...

A brake is a device that produces artificial resistance to the moving part of a machine to stop or slow down its motion. Any machine or its part that is in motion possesses kinetic energy. As per physical laws, energy cannot be destroyed; its form can only be transformed. The brake system converts the kinetic energy of the moving machine or part into thermal, potential or chemical energy. Brake systems are of various types utilized in different applications in industries, home appliances, vehicles, railway trains, and other sectors. This paper has focused on the brake systems used in vehicles, ...

Introduction

Tata Nano is a cheap, back-engined, small-sized car with a capacity to carry four passengers built by Indian based automotive company known as Tata Motors. Tata Nano was first introduced in January 2008 during the 9th annual Auto Expo in India (Tata Motors 2011). The exterior of Tata Nano is 8% smaller as compared to the second smallest car, Maruti 800. Currently, Tata Motors has managed to design three models of Tata Nano: Tata Nano STD, Tata Nano CX, and Tata Nano LX (Tata Motors 2011). At the time of its introduction in the Indian market, the car priced approximately US$ ...
