Toppling

This document proposes a toppling prevention mechanism for trucks, forklifts, and compact dumpers. It consists of mechanical linkages and tilt sensors that would open when the vehicle reaches unsafe angle limits to stabilize the vehicle and prevent toppling. The objectives are to identify overturning risks and reduce accidents. When activated by the tilt sensors, the linkages would quickly open to stabilize the vehicle and prevent damage or injury from toppling. The mechanism aims to improve safety for passengers and vehicles at construction sites and on roads.

Toppling Prevention mechanism
Proposed by: Shabnam, Viraat Mahendra
Constructed by: Shabnam, Viraat Mahendra
ABSTRACT:
Nowadays,the problem of toppling of trucks, forklift trucks,
compact dumpers have become so common at construction sites
and workplaces. Also, many mishaps occur with vehicles driving on
road due to toppling. So, to solve this problem by ensuring safety
to passengers and preventing damage of goods and vehicle due to
toppling we come up with Toppling prevention mechanism.

OBJECTIVES:
• To identify risks of overturning of these heavy vehicles and to
avoid them.
• To reduce the cases of accidents at road and workplace due to
these heavy vehicles.
EXECUTION:
This mechanism basically consists of mechanical linkages and tilt
sensor. Mechanical linkages will be very compact in folded mode
and it will be mounted on the lower periphery of chassis of vehicle
(wheel base side).Further tilt sensors will be installed at the base
of vehicle. A tilt sensor or Tilt Switch is an inertial device which
monitors the angles in longitudinal and lateral directions of any
platform to which it is attached. When the platform is oriented the
sensor in the device generates a signal proportional to the
orientation. This signal is processed inside a microprocessor and
the digital output of the angle is given out on serial interfaces.
The Tilt Switch offers an option for configuration of safe operation
angle limits - the relay is activated when the platform
angle/booming angle reaches these safe operation angle limits. On
the signal of tilt sensor mechanical linkages will open with
immediate effect. The mechanical linkage will help stabilize the
body as soon as the vehicle comes on the verge of toppling.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:
• Designing, analysis and calculations of various mechanical
components used in the project.
• Simulation required in this project.
• Developing the co-ordination skills among teammates.
• Improves problem solving skills.
• Various concepts of Stability of a body.

SOCIAL BENEFITS:

• Helps to prevent the overturning of heavy vehicles at Road and


workplace.
• It ensures the safety of passengers at workplace and road.
Therefore, it can save lives as well as prevent the damage to the
vehicle.
