Design & Fabrication of 360* Rotating Vehicle

The design and fabrication of 360 degree wheel rotation vehicle using DC motor and steering is done to reduce time to turn from one direction to other direction. Main function of this vehicle is easy to rotate the wheels of vehicle in all 360 degree angle position. Increase in population of India, society resulted in increase of vehicle on the road due to space constraints is major problem of the country. Present study aims for development of a system to reduce the turning radius of vehicle. In this system at first vehicle is stopped and wheels are then turned in the required direction with help of steering system and DC motor. It has turning radius nearly equal to negligible of length of the vehicle itself. This vehicle used to carry the goods in various areas such as, railway platform, hospital, industries and market. The purpose of this paper is to develop an alternative solution for conventional two wheel steering system. In modern era, the major characteristics of the vehicle like steer ability and handling have become major aspects. Conventional steering involve either the Ackerman or Davis steering system which has major disadvantage is it cannot take minimum radius turn. Providing zero turn steering without any compromise in steer ability and handling of the vehicle is a major concern for automakers. The main intention is to improve the zero turn steer ability of the vehicle without wheel wandering problems. The number of vehicles are continuously increasing It causes the problem of traffic congestion, pollution (noise and air). To overcome problem like vehicle maneuvering on narrow roads and during parking this system has been proposed. We have developed an innovative idea about four wheel steering design to implement a mechanism that can take minimum radius turn about its gravitational axis. Zero turning is done by turning drive wheels at the same rate in opposite direction. By steering the rear wheels in the direction opposite the front wheels at low speeds, the vehicles turning circle radius is greatly reduced. Zero turn vehicle system is used in jeep hurricane.
