Abstract: This project describes the design and fabrication of Segway transporter vehicle. The Segway is based on the principle of inverted pendulum that will keep an angle of Zero degrees with vertical at all times. The Segway is an intelligent vehicle which uses accelerometer to detect the motion of wheels, so that rider can accelerate, brake or steer the vehicle. This Segway is eco-friendly industrial transporter which carries load upto100kg including rider and load in trolly attached at front end. This kind of vehicle is interesting since it contains a lot of technology relevant to an environmentally friendly and energy efficient transportation industry. This thesis describes the development of a similar vehicle from scratch, incorporating every phase from literature survey to planning, design, vehicle construction and verification. The main objective of the project is the cost reduction of existing system with added user interface of real time clock, load in the trolley, direction and battery level indicator. The rider also gets warning with alarm on low battery .The rider controls are supposed to be natural movements leaning forward, backward and right-left; tilting of the handlebar and switch buttons also.
