Abstract/Executive Summary
This research aimed to propose a sustainable ferry design for the MMDA Pasig River Ferry System using AutoCAD and evaluate its performance under varied weather conditions with MATLAB Simulink, addressing the Pasig River's specific sustainable transportation needs. Employing a descriptive-prototype approach, the study assessed mechanical design aspects and performance metrics like speed, power, and stability under different weather conditions. The ferry's design included a catamaran-shaped hull of aluminum alloy steel, a 180kW motor, and weighs 8350kg, achieving a speed of 12.5 knots, power demand of 139.019kW, and a battery capacity of 80Ah. The study underscores the importance of solar-powered ferries in urban waterways, highlighting their potential as eco-friendly transportation solutions and the significance of sustainable transportation in urban river systems. Future researchers should consider the study's limitations, focusing on the MMDA's Pasig River Ferry System, and tailor recommendations to address this constraint, exploring additional factors like passenger capacity and operational aspects for a comprehensive understanding of solar-powered ferry performance, guiding the development of sustainable transportation solutions in urban river systems.
