Motor vehicles have become essential and important part of our daily life when it comes to mobility. It is necessary to own a car as it reduces distances. But disabled persons who are physically incapacitated always face difficulty when it comes to mobility. As per census year 2011, out of 1.21 billion population, 26.8 million are disabled which is 2.21% of the total population. Commercially available products offer control of clutch to the user by means of hand interface, however these products are expensive and invasive. Thus, it is needed to develop a better mechanism for disabled (people with one leg disability) person which is more cost-effective and agronomical. In this paper, a mechanism is developed which provides control of clutch at two points by hand instead of leg. Modelling, assembly and simulation using CATIAV5 and structural analysis using ANSYS workbench are presented. Design, fabrication and working of the developed mechanism are explained.
