Human Transporter(E-Porter)

The function of a human transporter is basically used for transferring a single person from one place to another in a short period of time. It is a device that acts as an alternative to traditional transportations options like cars and motorcycles that are commonly used today. With the development of a human transporter, it can overcome the problem of commuting great distances between places faced by the students inside the university. To use the human transporter as an alternative means of transportation inside the university, the vehicle must be created with the advantages of being lightweight, energy efficient, durable, user-friendly, economical and safe. The project scopes that are involved to achieve these objectives includes researches on current technologies inside existing human transporters, conducting survey form to Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) students and doing an extensive research on the source of energy that drives the human transporter. The methods that are being used inside the project are planning the project work for the whole time frame allocated, do the literature review and research at the beginning stage, collect data for available source of clean energy and mechanical mechanism that can enhance the performance of the human transporter, produce technical drawing during the design stage and finally, construct the prototype. The research and design stage is completed during the first semester while the fabricating stage for the prototype is done during the second semester. Through the development of this human transporter, the project delivers a good optional solution for UTP students to overcome the commuting problems they face in the university. A part from that, by promoting the use of clean source energy, this device will be much an environmental friendly product as it produces no pollutant emissions compared to other fuel combustion vehicles nowadays.
