ABSTRACT

This project studies the design and development of safety pedal lock for

manual gears‟ car. The purpose of the project is to design and analysis an anti-theft

device, Safety Pedal Lock, which to prevent the vehicle theft occurred frequently

today. Since according to the General Insurance Association of Malaysia (PIAM),

the Proton car theft was reported as 51% of the total 2436 private cars reported stolen

to insurer during the period. Therefore, it‟s to design, fabricate and assembly of

Safety Pedal Lock for manual gear car, which can provide additional security to the

users‟ vehicle because it can prevent the stolen in very shorten time. The method to

be used in the designing was Solidworks software. The software used to create a 3D

modeling and analysis the product structural such as stress, stiffness and safety factor.

A prototype was created with the helped sketching drawing. There was also had to

fabricate and assembly of the Safety Pedal Lock. Thus, the mechanical processes like

milling, drilling, welding and painting were involved. Finally, it was carried out with

a completed Safety Pedal Lock. In addition, the methodology for the development

was divided into five phases, which included planning, concept development, detail

design, fabrication and assembly, and structural analysis. At the end of each stage, its

will come out with the output like sketching, drawing detail, real modeling, complete

product and structural analysis results. This Safety Pedal Lock had more advantages

than existing such as friendly usage, easy to lock-up and release, easy for storage,

and lower cost.

ABSTRAK

Projek ini mengkaji tentang rekabentuk dan perkembangan bagi Alat Kunci

Injak untuk kereta manual gear. Tujuan utama projek ini adalah untuk merekabentuk

dan menganalisis alat kunci injak kereta yang berfungsi supaya dapat mengelakkan

kes kecurian yang semakin berleluasa hari ini. Mengikut analisa yang dilakukan oleh

Kesatuan Insurans Malaysia (PIAM), sebanyak 51% daripada 2436 kereta Proton

telah dicuri dan diloporkan kepada syarikat insurans pada tahun tersebut. Oleh yang

demikian, satu Alat Kunci Injak telah direkabentuk dan dibina untuk menjana satu

keselamatan lebihan bagi mengelakkan kes kecurian dalam masa yang singkat.

Program komputer yang akan digunakan untuk menjayakan projek ini adalah

perisian Solidworks. Program komputer ini akan digunakan bagi mengilusasikan

imej produk dengan lukisan kejuruteraannya dan juga untuk tujuan analisa tentang

ciri-ciri strukturnya seperti daya mampatan, ketegangan, dan kekerasan. Satu

prototaip telah dihasilkan sebelum proses pembentukkan produk dengan

berpandukan lakaran produk. Selain itu, produk Alat Kunci Injak perlu dibentukkan.

Jadi, proses-proses pemesinan seperti milling, drilling, kimpalan dan pengecat

diperlukan untuk projek ini. Dalam pada itu, kaedah yang digunakan telah

dibahagikan kepada 5 bahagian seperti pelan, konsep perkembangan, perician lukisan,

pembuatan produk dan analisa struktur. Selain itu, setiap peringkat akan

mengeluarkan keputusan seperti lakaran, lukisan kejuruteraan, produk sebenar dan

keputusan analisa. Akhir kata, satu Alat Kunci Injak yang berfungsi telah dihasilkan

pada hujung perkembangan pemrekabentuk ini.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

This project focuses on designing and developing of safety pedal lock for manual

gear car. The Solidworks software was used to design the safety pedal lock because

the Solidworks software is easily to sketch and design however it can be used to do

analysis processed besides sketching. Furthermore, there was fabrication and

assembly work; thus the relevant machining processes such as millings, drillings, and

welding were involved. Meanwhile, there was some analysis by Solidworks software

which to improve the productivity of product. This safety pedal lock is an additional

lock for manual gear car besides gear‟s locks and steering locks.

According to the General Insurance Association of Malaysia (PIAM) analysis,

the vehicle theft was a serious problem in society today. Based on the latest statistics

from the General Insurance Association of Malaysia (PIAM) had shown that Proton

has had the highest number of cars reported stolen for the first half of the year. Theft

of Proton cars accounts for about 51 per cent of the total 2,436 private cars reported

stolen to insurers during the period [22]. This means, on average, about 7 Protons are

reported stolen every day. However, the theft prevention studied of United State

showed that the vehicle theft was the nation‟s number one property crime, which will

be occurred every 25.3 seconds and costing over 8.4 billion dollar each year [23].

Page 19: DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF SAFETY PEDAL LOCK …eprints.utem.edu.my/1747/1/Design_And_Development_Of_Safety_P… · DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF SAFETY PEDAL LOCK FOR MANUAL ... A prototype

1.2 Objective

The aim of this project is to design and development of safety pedal lock for manual

gear car. While the main objectives are:

1. To design and develop the safety pedal lock for manual gear car.

2. To design 3D modeling using Solidworks software.

3. To analysis 3D modeling using Solidworks software.

4. To fabricate safety pedal lock.

1.3 Scope

This safety pedal lock is helpful because it can provide an additional security to the

users‟ vehicle, which can prevent the stolen in a very short period. Besides that, the

product was advantage than the concurrent gear and steering lock because most of

the locking system solutions were being decode, therefore the safety pedal lock can

provide more security to the users.

1.4 Problem Statement

In 1989 the NRMA evaluated ten locally-made and three imported cars to test how

easily they could be stolen [24]. The statistics of Filed under cars showed that in the

first six months the year alone, 35,888 vehicles were stole, leading to RM357 million

in losses. Vehicle theft contributed 45%, which almost half of the countries overall

crime index for the first half of the year [25]. Based on the statement, the

professional thieves have spent their whole live learning how to crack alarms and

anti-theft devices. Thus, they can easily bypass even the most sophisticated theft

prevention systems. Therefore, the typical theft prevention devices were not able to

stop cars‟ theft. Even worse, the car thefts were usually not reported for hours or

even days after the crime occurred. Therefore, without any witnesses, suspects, or

other leads to investigate, car theft victims were left helpless in finding their stolen

vehicle [23].

CHAPTER 2

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Introduction

Nowadays, the vehicle theft was the nation‟s number one property crime; therefore

there were several of safety devices such as alarms system, gear lock, steering lock

and door lock that had been created to car theft.

Traditionally, car alarms were the primary resource in protected vehicle from

thieves. These alarms had been developed from silent to talking alarms; meanwhile

the car alarm industry has invented everything under the sun to put the car owners‟

minds at ease about the safety of motor vehicles. Unfortunately, car alarms were not

enough to prevent thieves from seizing a car or truck [23]. However, in the United

States a study by General Motors found that cars fitted with alarm systems as

standard equipment were 20% less likely to be stolen than equivalent cars without

alarms (Clarke 1987) [26].

In the United Kingdom, United States, West Germany and other countries,

regulations require the standard fit of a mechanical device for preventing the car

being driven away. Although a few manufacturers have opted for transmission

locking, the majority preferred the steering column lock. Based on the studied, the

steering column lock was introduced in 1970 as a standard feature on all cars

manufactured or imported into the United Kingdom. Besides, Home Office

investigations in the mid-70s found that cars without steering column locks were

three times more likely to be stolen (Home Office 1985) [26]. Similarly, the car

thefts dropped by 60% after steering column locks made compulsory on all vehicles

Page 21: DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF SAFETY PEDAL LOCK …eprints.utem.edu.my/1747/1/Design_And_Development_Of_Safety_P… · DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF SAFETY PEDAL LOCK FOR MANUAL ... A prototype

in West Germany in 1963 (Mayhew et al. 1976). Figure 2.1 and Figure 2.2 were

showed the common lock for car steering and car door [12].

Figure 2.2: New Lock Designs

Furthermore, a designing of car in the manufacturing today should be considered

the factors such as safety improvement and theft prevention. Figure 2.3 shows the 14

elements that have had to consider in designing a car [13], which reproduced by

permission from Daily Mail (London) on 7th

December 1988.

2.1.1 Pedal Lock

Pedal lock was a technology that to improve the cars‟ safety and theft prevention due

to the additional safety device that can prevent the car theft in shorten time period.

Figure 2.4 shows the common car pedal lock that being marketed today [37]. This

lock had a lot of lock properties; it was a combination of eight types of lock system.

Page 23: DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF SAFETY PEDAL LOCK …eprints.utem.edu.my/1747/1/Design_And_Development_Of_Safety_P… · DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF SAFETY PEDAL LOCK FOR MANUAL ... A prototype

The first lock as shown in Figure 2.4 was 9 rings core code key system that 100%

protection from any unauthorized keys. Then, second lock has had a key hole which

is specially designed to spin around if drilling was attempted. It was followed by

third lock that the hardened steel padlock protected from hack-sawing or damaged by

jack. After that, the slide arm that used to lock by just pull the arm, then the first and

second locks will be engaged simultaneously within a second. Besides that, lock

body for the device was manufactured from high grade tensile steel and the lock

casing fabricated by high-grade tensile steel that with firearm grade. Finally, the lock

was fitted on floor to prevent the exhausted of steering column if attempts were made

to force entry. However, this lock was not familiar to be used because it was very

complexity and higher cost. Therefore, it was not recommended for some vehicle.

Figure 2.5 shows the main structure and function of the lock while Figure 2.6 shows

how the lock was being installed onto pedals‟ side [37].

In addition, Figure 2.7 shows the pedal that being used in market today. This lock

had a handle of first lock, security ring of second lock, and locks for clutch and break

pedal arm. Figure 2.8 was showed the summarization of common types of safety

devices that were applied in automobile technology today [39].
