Abstract
Electric three-wheeler vehicles are getting popular in many progressive countries and Bangladesh is one of them. Based on the study of current vehicle systems in Bangladesh novel design of a four-wheeler low cost safe electric vehicle has been approached in this research paper for daily uses. Double wishbone independent suspension system with high performance shock absorber helps the design to ensure a smooth movement. Implementation of CAN Bus system minimizes wire management and ensures a flawless data transfer with interactive control system. Sensor node based forward collision avoidance algorithm has been proposed to assuring safety and introducing a semi-autonomous control system. Custom designed integrated GPS tracking system diminish the chance of unwanted theft threat and maintain a strong navigation system. Different software-based simulation with a couple of real-life experiments in different road condition justify the sustainability and accuracy for all the designed systems.
