Clutch Pedal Acceleration
Karthikeyan Rajendiran, Mohammed Sameer H.M.
Abstract: The design modification proposed is that of integrating acceleration and clutch mechanism under a single pedal control. By this modification the major out turn is that the vehicle accelerates as and when the Clutch Acceleration Pedal is released, instead of acceleration by pedal pressing as in the case of conventional cars. In this design the clutch mechanism is operated when the Clutch Acceleration pedal pressed to the maximum. At the end of pedal by having mechanical linkage, acceleration mechanism is neutralized and a further force extends the rod which operates the clutch. This way we bring two mechanisms under a single pedal.
