Abstract

Indian three-wheeled Auto-ricckshaws are built in a Delta configuration, and it remains almost the de facto standard mode of travel for most of the people. Three-wheelers with inverted Delta or Tadpole configuration are known to be theoretically less tendency tot roll over. The objective of this work is to examine an auto-rickshaw concept with tadpole shape, with almost the same vehicle parameters and compare the rollover stability performance with Delta.
