6.   WORKING:

•   When the vehicle is stationary in an inclined surface, it is impossible to operate 3 foot pedals by 2 foot to start the vehicle from rest to forward motion with ease.

•   This error in the conventional working system is neglected by adding a ratchet and pawl mechanism along the wheel rim.

•   The ratchet is mounted on the rim whereas the pawl is fabricated on the chassis of the vehicle.

•   The pawl is pivoted in such a way that when the first gear of the vehicle is implied it engages with the ratchet.

•   Thus a driver can leave the brake pedal free while resting at a gradient or at a mountain road.

•   So the driver could just place the foot on the clutch and accelerator pedals and could move the vehicle with ease.

•   Thus accidental uncontrolled reversal of vehicle is also avoided.

•   This is the overall working principle of our project.
