INTRODUCTION
1.1 HISTORY
Automobiles have become a basic necessity in present world of
industrialization and fast growing population. An automobile is a self propelled
vehicle, which is used for road transportation of passengers and goods. The self
propelled vehicle is that contains its own source of power for the propulsion, e.g., car,
jeep, bus, truck etc. World’s first automobile was produced in 1892. General Motors
India Ltd. Started their factory in Mumbai in 1928 for assembling cars and trucks. In
1930, Ford Motor Corporation of India Limited started assembly shop in Madras and
in 1931 at Mumbai and Calcutta [1]. The first Indian owned motor vehicle plant
started working in 1947 when Premier Automobiles Ltd. under the management of
Aero Auto brought out Dodge, De Soto and Forgo trucks and buses. Soon thereafter,
Hindustan Motors Ltd. managed by Birla’s started assembly of CKD parts of
Studebaker trucks and buses. Maruti Udyog Limited (MUL) was incorporated as a
public sector company in 1981. Agreement with Suzuki Motor Corporation of Japan
was signed in 1982 to make it a joint venture of Govt. of India and Suzuki and
produced many new models of cars [2].
steering but can’t reduce the turning circle radius of vehicle or the minimum space
required for the turning of the car. Now-a-days peoples are preferring the bigger cars
that are powerful, have better aesthetic and ergonomic features and easy to drive like
Ford Icon, Maruti SX4, Tata Indigo, Honda City, Mercedes Benz, Volks Wagon,
Nissan etc. Till recently all vehicles were steered by turning the front wheels in the
desired direction, with the rear wheels following. Conventionally the front axle is the
dead axle. However, these days this is true for heavy vehicles only. In four wheel
drive vehicles and most of the cars, front axle is a live axle. Due to increasing demand
and supply of cars, roads are over flowed by vehicles. There is severe problem of
parking at home, parking at public places and multiplexes, traffic jam etc.

THEORITICAL BACKGROUND
2.2 NEED
This project aims for development of a system to reduce the turning radius of a
car. The indigenously developed system consists of screw jack, gears and mechanism
with arrangement of the various kinematics links. The developed system was electric
motor driven. In this system at first car is lifted and then turned in the required
direction. The mechanism will be sufficiently capable in turning the car in any
direction without steering and has turning radius equal to the half of the length of car
itself. The car can be turned back in 40 second. This system can be useful in better
parking, traffic jam, back turning on narrow roads, changing of punctured wheels etc.
vehicle such that when the vehicle turns only the wheels turn in the said direction
initially not the chassis hence the lamps remain focused in a different direction other
than desired turn this makes driver blind momentarily for the road conditions in the
direction of turn this may lead to accident incorporating the above said facility will
reduce the chances of accident.
2.4 OBJECTIVES
1. This project aims for development of a system to reduce the turning radius
of a car, so it can be parked at any available space.
2. The automatic lifting system of the car is very helpful in changing the
punctured wheel of car on road.
3. In hilly areas, where roads are very narrow and reversing of the vehicle is
very dangerous, so it can be turned back using the developed system.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS
4.1 DESIGN
Design consists of application of scientific principles, technical information
and imagination for development of new or improvised machine or mechanism to
perform a specific function with maximum economy & efficiency.
Hence a careful design approach has to be adopted. The total design work has been
split up into two parts;
System design
Mechanical Design.
System design mainly concerns the various physical constraints and ergonomics,
space requirements, arrangement of various components on main frame at system,
man + machine interactions, No. of controls, position of controls, working
environment of machine, chances of failure, safety measures to be provided, servicing
aids, ease of maintenance, scope of improvement, weight of machine from ground
level, total weight of machine and a lot more.
In mechanical design the components are listed down and stored on the basis of their
procurement, design in two categories namely,
Designed Parts
Parts to be purchased
For designed parts detailed design is done & distinctions thus obtained are compared
to next highest dimensions which are readily available in market. This amplifies the
assembly as well as postproduction servicing work. The various tolerances on the
works are specified. The process charts are prepared and passed on to the
manufacturing stage.
The parts which are to be purchased directly are selected from various catalogues &
specified so that anybody can purchase the same from the retail shop with given
specifications.
V. Chances of Failure
The losses incurred by owner in case of any failure areimportant criteria of
design. Factor safety while doing mechanical design is kept high so that there are less
chances of failure. Moreover periodic maintenance is required to keep unit healthy.
The parts to be purchased directly are selected from various catalogues &
specification so that anybody can purchase the same from the retail shop with the
given specifications.
I. Motor selection
Selection of motor is done from standard motors available in geared motors
form:
The Geared motors are basically DC motors 12 Volt DC coupled to planetary
gear set to amplify the torque available at the shaft end.
Motor selected for above application is:
Motor: 12 Volt DC motor, 18 rpm, 20watt---1:55 RATIO GEARED

V. DESIGN OF SCREW
Power screw is mechanical device meant for converting rotary motion into
noiseless service.
Square thread profile is favorably used in applications like vices; clamps etc due to its
We shall design a screw jack having a single start, square threads screw with
no collar friction.

In design of nut the major dimension is the height or length of the nut. It is
decided by considering the bearing criterion. Nut is also required to be safe under
shearing . The failure of nut in shearing takes place at its core diameter and the area of
core diameter of screw resisting shear is less than the area at the core diameter of nut.
Secondly the materials for nut & screw are different to avoid greater friction at
contacts.

RESULTS
5.1 RESULTS
The developed model of car was tested in various conditions for different
applications. It was lifted by 18 cm in 10 seconds, turned back in 20 seconds and
lowered in 10 seconds. So in all, it required 40 seconds in lifting, turning back and
lowering. The developed system is most suitable in parking at home and multiplexes.
Car can be easily removed from the tight parking of the vehicles, on the crowded
roadside and in the traffic jams (Figs. 5.1 and 5.2).

CONCLUSION
6.1 CONCLUSION
Automobile industry is very fast growing industry and day-by-days developing the
new technologies/systems that are mainly related to safety, ergonomics and efficient
drive. The developed model was tested in various conditions and effectively reduced
the turning radius to its minimum in thedeveloped model. The reduced turning circle
diameter (nearly about zero) has lots of advantages in daily life, such as-
Better parking at home in narrow space and at multiplexes.
Easy removal of vehicle from the traffic jams.
Easy changing the punctured tyre.
Turning back at narrow roads.
Use in service and maintenance etc.
The system can be developed using the hydraulic system. This can give fast response
and less space is required. The developed model is recommended for inclusion in the
cars.
The model will also be added with steering operated tilting headlight mechanism this
also will be motorized .This is feature adds to the safety feature of the vehicle such
that when the vehicle turns only the wheels turn in the said direction initially not the
chassis hence the lamps remain focused in a different direction other than desired turn
this makes driver blind momentarily for the road conditions in the direction of turn
this may lead to accident incorporating the above said facility will reduce the chances
of accident.
