Problem Definition
Challenge: College campuses face a pressing challenge in providing efficient and environmentally sustainable
transportation solutions for their students, faculty, and staff.
Current Shortcomings: Traditional golf carts, often utilized on campuses, are powered by lead-acid batteries,
resulting in short battery lifespans and inefficiencies in energy usage.
The Sustainability Imperative: In light of the increasing importance of sustainability, there is a critical need to
realign campus transportation methods with eco-friendly practices to reduce carbon emissions and minimize energy
wastage.
The Proposed Solution: The project seeks to address these challenges by designing and developing a specialized
caddie tailored explicitly for college campuses, surpassing the limitations of conventional carts
Integration of Advanced Technologies: This proposed caddie will incorporate state-of-the-art technologies,
including electric propulsion, lightweight materials, and efficient energy management systems.
Smart and Safe Features: Furthermore, the caddie will be equipped with smart features to enhance safety.
