Design of semi-automatic electronic gear shifting mechanism

In an automobile, gears are used to manually control the power output of the engine and utilize it according to the requirement. In motorcycles, the sequential type of gearboxes are used which are operated by means of a foot pedal. Due to this mechanical linkage, the shifting of gears takes time and can be a deciding factor in a motor racing environment. Use of electronically actuated system can significantly reduce the gear changing time and address the issue. Many events like FSAE, BAJA and SUPRA are organized all over the world in order to provide Mechanical Engineering students a platform to showcase their talent and engineering skills. The University of Petroleum & Energy Studies has been a consistent performer in such events and has great recognition. The use of electronically actuated gear shifters can provide a significant edge over the rest of the field and may turn into a winning idea.
