Description
Summary:Having a specialized car for the disabled is a relatively new concept in Malaysia. Previously,disabled people in Malaysia had to import the system to be installed in their cars, where the cost of importing and installation is a big issue. Moreover, most control device used by physically handicapped drivers, especially people without lower limbs, are difficult to install and must be carefully adjusted to provide satisfactory performance. The main objective of the present study is to develop a new system in a way to modify the existing conventional car so that a disabled person without lower limbs can drive safely and properly.
