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.
