Abstract

The aim of this research project is to design and test a motor speed controller for use in
medium sized electric vehicles such as golf carts and forklift trucks. The adjustable speed
drive provides control of a series motor in four modes; forward motoring, forward
regeneration (i.e. braking), reverse motoring and reverse regeneration. A low-cost design
approach was taken, with a microcontroller forming the heart of the design. Most of the
driver's features are implemented in software. Power stage design was also considered, and a
suitable power electronic circuit to interface to the control system was designed.
