MODELLING AND ANALYSIS OF SOLAR POWERED SMART WHEEL CHAIR WITH BLUETOOTH CONTROL FOR PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED PEOPLE

Abstract

This project presents the modelling and analysis of a solar-powered smart wheelchair with Bluetooth control designed for physically challenged individuals. The system aims to improve mobility, independence, and energy efficiency by integrating renewable energy with smart technology. Solar panels are used to capture sunlight and convert it into electrical energy, which is stored in a rechargeable battery to power the wheelchair. A microcontroller-based control system is implemented to manage the movement of the wheelchair, while Bluetooth technology enables wireless operation through a smartphone. This allows users or caregivers to control directions such as forward, backward, left, and right with ease. The modelling includes mechanical design, electrical components, and energy management, while analysis focuses on battery performance, charging efficiency, and system reliability. The proposed system is eco-friendly, cost-effective, and enhances the quality of life for users by providing a smart and sustainable mobility solution.
