ARP - Instrumentation of the smart drawbar
FY 2025-26 · 2025-04-07
Summary
The firm designs innovative, clean, reliable, and efficient transportation solutions aimed at reducing car and truck use. The current project involves developing and testing a prototype smart drawbar for a motorized trailer pulled by a bicycle. This drawbar manages the motor’s power and braking so that the trailer’s inertia is imperceptible while driving. This project reduces the risks associated with this innovative concept, thereby optimizing control of the trailer’s propulsion system.

Description (French)
L'entreprise conçoit des solutions de transport innovantes, propres, fiables et efficaces visant à réduire l’utilisation des voitures et camions. Le projet actuel consiste à développer et tester un prototype de timon intelligent pour une remorque motorisée tractée par vélo. Ce timon permet de gérer la puissance du moteur et le freinage de manière à ce que l’inertie de la remorque soit imperceptible lors de la conduite. Ce projet permet de réduire les risques associés à ce concept novateur, optimisant ainsi le contrôle du système de propulsion de la remorque.
