E-Rickshaw Simulation in SIMULINK Software

Abstract

Electric Rickshaw also known as E-Rickshaws are sustainable and cost-effective mode of transportation used in these days. These Rickshaws are highly efficient for short distance travelling and are famous in urban and semi-urban regions. The use of e-rickshaws aids in the global shift to sustainable energy in transportation and lowers carbon footprints. Through infrastructure construction, incentives, and policies focused at sustainable urban mobility, governments and commercial groups are encouraging their use. In this article, an electric rickshaw is modeled using Simulink software, and its performance is examined throughout two distinct driving cycles with variable dc motor specifications. This analysis is necessary to ascertain how motor characteristics relate to vehicle performance, which factors enhance vehicle performance, and how this can be accomplished. The research offers guidance on how to optimize motor characteristics to improve the dependability and efficiency of vehicles. This method aids in the creation of economical and energy-efficient solutions by highlighting the connection between motor design factors and the overall performance of electric rickshaws. For producers and researchers aiming to create sustainable transportation systems, the results provide insightful advice.
