Design of a High Performance Hybrid Tricycle (THAR) to assist people with motor disabilities
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In Mexico, there is a delay in the mobility process of people with motor disabilities. At the same time, in our country there are nearly 3 million people with motor disabilities according to what INEGI reports in its 2020 census. Therefore, a virtual prototype is being proposed as a result of the first stage of its own methodology for the design of a hybrid tricycle to transport people with motor disabilities, which offers versatility in terms of transport configurations in the facilities of the Polytechnic University of Guanajuato (UPG). In a second stage, it is proposed to build a scale prototype using additive manufacturing to identify areas of opportunity before building the final prototype and carrying out its real physical tests in order to obtain sufficient data to implement a commercial model that can be reproduced. reliable way.
