Abstract

The rise of eco-friendly personal electric mobility is a worldwide trend and the first Korean-made IT convergence electric skateboard, Youth Board, is developed to lead the trend. Youth Board is remotely controllable using either Youth Wearable Controller or Youth App through Bluetooth v4.0 communication, can speed up to 25 km/hr, and operating time is approximately 1.5 hr. A LED display located in the front side of Youth Board deck shows three different states to a rider for user convenience: remaining battery SOC, current driving speed, and braking amount. Indoor EMC test results between Youth Board and Youth Wearable Controller and outdoor Youth Board driving test results are analyzed. In particular, driving test results show the maximum current output is about 15% lowered compared to the other competitor electric skateboard and it lessens the power burden of the motor ESC. These results show Youth Board's usefulness as a personal mobility in the sense of small, light, and inexpensive aspects.

환경 친화적인 개인 이동수단의 부상은 세계적인 추세이며, 국내최초 IT 융합 전기스케이트보드인 유스보드가 트렌드를 선도하기위해 개발되었다. 유스보드는 블루투스 v4.0 통신을 통해 유스웨어러블컨트롤러 또는 유스앱을 사용하여 원격으로 제어 가능하며, 최고 시속 25 km/h 속도를 낼 수 있고, 최대 운행 시간은 약 1.5 hr이다. 유스보드 데크 앞면에 위치한 LED 디스플레이는 라이더에게 세 가지 상태, 즉 배터리 잔량 SOC, 현재 주행속도, 그리고 제동량을 표시해 준다. 유스보드와 유스웨어러블컨트롤러 간의 실내 EMC 테스트 결과와 실외 실주행 테스트 결과가 분석되었으며, 특히 실주행 테스트로부터 타사 전기스케이트보드 대비 최대 전류를 약 15% 낮춤으로서 모터제어기의 부하 부담을 줄였다. 이러한 분석 결과들은 유스보드가 타사 전기스케이트보드들보다 작고 가볍고 저렴하며 이는 개인 이동수단으로 유용함을 나타낸다.
