Abstract

A tentative construction has been herein proposed to develop a parking device to be attached to motor vehicles. the device is simple in design, ma-nufactured to suite various types of aukimotives & based on a special gear train powered by 12V D.C. motor. The device can be controlled by the driver to park safely in a minimum manoeuvring distance, also can be used for car jacking and trailing in case of emergency. Based on a study of 3-Wheeled vehicle dynamics, a formula has been derived to estimate proper steering power and to put some bases for further opti-mization processes.
