Throttle Pedal Design Challenge by Microtechnologies There is a trend of transition from mechanical to electronic indirect control pedals. We can reduce the number of pedals. One pedal can function as the gas and brake. There is no need to migrating the foot off the gas pedal to brake. This pedal have the following advantages: • It decreases the time before braking; • the driver's foot is in the natural position of the feet on the floor; reduced driver fatigue at long trips; • shoes with high heels do not interfere for driving comfort and safety: • excluded the situation entanglement pedals or foot slip on the brake pedal; • by pedal can be switched on and off Turn Signals; • the position and angle of the pedal is regulated within wide rande; To improve safety using two rotation sensors. If the sensor readings do not differ by more than 10% (for example) is applied arithmetic mean. If the difference is greater the hazard alarm vehicle speed is limited to 30 kilometers per hour (for example).
