According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Mobility is an essential factor in improving the independence and quality of life for physically challenged individuals. Conventional vehicles require coordinated use of both hands and legs, making them unsuitable for persons with upper limb disabilities. The present invention relates to a Single-Hand Drive Electric Vehicle designed for a single user. It employs a joystick-based drive-by-wire mechanism that integrates steering, acceleration, braking, and directional control into one interface. A battery-powered BLDC motor is controlled through an embedded controller and motor drivers. The system ensures safety, stability, affordability, and ease of operation. This invention provides an inclusive, efficient, and sustainable mobility solution that enhances independence and supports accessible transportation for differently abled users in daily activities. The design simplifies control architecture while maintaining reliable performance and reducing physical effort required for navigation. It further promotes social inclusion by enabling independent travel and improving user confidence and convenience during regular usage conditions."
