 1. Standards used in the project:

i. Acceleration of a Vehicle
According to the American Standards for motorized vehicles, the acceleration of a vehicle to
move in a city must be at least 1.5m/𝑠 2 . We have kept in mind this standard value during the
designing and calculations of our vehicle.
Reason:
To make the vehicle applicable and comparable in the urban areas along with the other ICE
(internal combustion engine) based vehicles.

ii. Mass of the Vehicle

The standard mass of a bio-hybrid electric vehicle is 100kg for a single person. We have used
this standard as it is also single person driven vehicle.
Reason:
Weight should be considered in designing the vehicles as it directly has an impact on the
speed of the vehicle by overloading the motors thus damaging the vehicle.

iii. Measurements
All the measurements taken during calculations and designing are based on SI units like
lengths, mass, time, temperature of the batteries in the vehicle etc.
Reason:
SI units are easier to deal with and during calculations to meet the international standards we
have used this system of unit for measurements.

2. Identify the tasks that must be completed to meet the standards.

• The acceleration of a vehicle to move in a city must be at least 1.5m/𝑠 2 .

• The standard mass of a bio-hybrid electric vehicle is 100kg for a single person.
• All the measurements taken during calculations and designing are based on SI
units like lengths, mass, time, temperature of the batteries in the vehicle etc.

3. How much does your FYP conform to the industrial standards?

Highlight any deficiencies.

• The standard mass of a bio-hybrid electric vehicle is 100kg for a single person
and we have achieve and it’s of industrial standard.
• Deficiencies: Wheel of vehicle are not fully aliened.
