Smart Solar Electric Tricycle

Abstract

The transport sector in Marrakesh city has known significant increasing in the number of tricycle. This latter has become used in different areas such as transporting goods or for tourist uses. This fact however, has a disadvantage of the bad impact on the environment, since, till now, all the circulating tricycles in the city are fuel-based ones. In this paper we propose a study to realize a solar electric tricycle with including the smart vehicles concept in such way to increase the autonomy of this tricycle. Reaching this goal will be by avoiding braking phases in the traffic lights. This control will depend on the GPS position of the tricycle and that of the traffic lights, in addition to their state when communicating (Green or red, still 30 s. . . etc.). The simulation results, using a regular path of the tricycles in Marrakesh city will be discussed.
