Abstract
Transporting documents between buildings is traditionally accomplished using vehicles, which results in energy waste and pollution. Moreover, the delivery of urgent documents outside the regular schedule necessitates staff involvement, thereby disrupting their regular duties. This research presents the development of a prototype tram system specifically designed for document transport between buildings. The system features a single-track design, facilitating easy installation in confined spaces. The electric trams are governed by algorithms that allow for real-time commands and tracking through wireless technology. The drive system employs a closed-loop Proportional-Integral (PI) controller to maintain the desired speed profile. Experimental results demonstrate that the vehicle can be effectively controlled wirelessly and adheres to the prescribed speed profile, both with and without a load.
