Design and Analysis of Wheelchair Lifting Mechanism for Public Bus

The project’s aim is to create a mechanism that will facilitate the transportation of people with disabilities in bus. This will encourage the integration of disabled people in the community and will also consist a technical challenge for the design. In this project the lifting mechanism in which the platform is lift vertically with the help of scissor mechanism. The main objective of the use of scissor mechanism is to reach the desire height or level. Now a day many disable people, old people and wheelchair have face the problem for getting on or off from the bus. This lifting mechanism will be help full for those disable people. The required data for the design of lifting mechanism will be collected from the bus such as ground clearance and chassis distance etc. with the help of measuring device. This study deals with the design and development of lifting mechanism used to lift wheelchair. In this project we will be creating CAD model of the mechanism and performing FEA on mechanism it will assist us to know the stresses and displacement.
