Abstract:The concept of this paper “Technical Analysis and
solar vehicle race, which covers all about 3960 km from Austin, USA to Calgary, Canada. With the flow of the time, the design and construction of General motors have come to picture and made its place in society. And these technologies have remained as untapped resource. The study of electric vehicle has been developed which can be applied in many fields to provide a pollution free environment.
Assessment of Automated Hybrid Electric Vehicle” is based on the combination of both automation and manual operation on this vehicle which is a major advantage of this paper. For the automatic operation arduino and two sensors are being installed in the vehicle. A battery is used to store the energy and charge the system. The main objective behind this application is to achieve the low energy consumption, low fuel costs, obstacle detection, reduction in emissions with photovoltaic modules as the main electric source. Keywords: electric motor, arduino, sensors, automation, solar panel.
1. Introduction This paper discusses about the usage of solar energy to power up the vehicle and the automation operation applied on it. In order to achieve the required voltage for power up, the Photo Voltaic (PV) Module can be connected either in parallel or series, but it is costly. Thus to make it cost efficient, charged batteries have been used. The electrical charged batteries are connected to the PV panel and are directed to the output terminals to produce low voltage i.e (Direct Current).According to the state of use of the battery, the charging is done to avoid overcharging. The voltage produced by the solar PV panel makes the DC motors run which is used to drive the vehicle efficiently. In this paperwork, the features of these components: solar panel, charge controller, battery, arduino, sensors and DC motors are required for the vehicle automated application were studied.

3. Working The working principle of solar electric vehicle is given below. It is a two wheeler device in which the solar energy is extracted from the sun through the PV panel to charge the batteries. The output power of this solar PV panel is 10W and batteries of 12V. Here the motors used are of DC geared. When motors run at constant speed, a direct motion is transferred. In this system, one arduino along with two sensors and a motor driver are used for automatic operation. Arduino is powered by the batteries. The sensors started sensing the obstacles after taking the respective commands from arduino. Sensing operation is in the sense of detecting unwanted obstacles coming to it. The overall working can be done with low energy consumption.
2. History of Solar electric vehicles Going through the history of PV electric vehicle, it is started in 1970.For more publicity in solar vehicle transportation, Hans Thol strup organized a 1865 mile 3000 km race in 1987 which is called World Solar Challenge(WSC) where many competitors were invited from research group and universities. In 2005, the race has set a record for the longest
