In this papers, we derive a simple kinematic and dynamic formulation of an unmanned electric bicycle. We also check the controllability of the stabilization problem of bicycle. We propose a new control algorithm for the self stabilization of unmanned bicycle with bounded wheel speed and steering angle by using nonlinear control based on the sliding patch and stuck phenomena which was introduced by W. Ham. We also propose a sort of optimal control strategy for steering angle and driving wheel speed that make the length of bicycle\`s path be the shortest. From the computer simulation results, we prove the validity of the proposed control algorithm.

A new continuously variable transmission (CVT) for electric bicycles was developed using a traction drive mechanism with inner and outer spherical rotors. This electric bicycle CVT permits three propulsion modes: human-power only, motor-power only, or a combination of motor power and human power. In addition, the electric bicycle CVT has high power efficiency, large torque capacity, improved drivability, and good packageability. A prototype was manufactured based on a conceptual design, a performance analysis, and a detailed design. This prototype has a rated power of 250 W and input motor speed of 20 rad/s for an overall speed ratio in the range 0.3-1.2. A bench test was conducted to measure the power transmission performance of the prototype.

In this paper, research of unmanned electric bicycle based on autonomic traveling is discussed. We derived dynamic equation of bicycle and introduced control theory that bicycle´s tilt angle and velocity is stable in some region. We implemented system using DSP processor, accelerometer and DC motor. Then, we carried out an experiment based on studied Control theory.

In this paper, we propose the battery charging device for electric bicycle using photovoltaic power. DC voltage from the solar cells is low, it needs to be step-up by the power conversion device. The power conversion device applied to this paper is phase-shift full-bridge converter. This converter steps-up from 12${\sim}$22[Vdc] to 36[Vdc] for charging the battery of electric bicycle. Phase-shift full-bridge converter(PSFB) can obtain twice as much DC voltage compared with half-bridge converter, thus it has lower current stress less than half-bridge converter. It is simulated and tested the battery charging device using photovoltaic power.

The aim of this paper is twofold: The one is to design BLDC motors for an electric bicycle and the other is to develop a controller of the BLDC motors. A new BLDC Motor has a permanent magnet rotor in which the magnetic arrangement is radial to the shaft and integral to the rotor laminations instead of mounted on the perimeter of the rotor. This technique concentrates flux, giving a higher flux density than a surface-mounted PM motor and has the increase of reluctance torque. The stator of BLDC motor has parallel winding instead of interconnected wye-connection winding, allowing multi-phase separate independent controllability. It gets much more high power than wye-connection at same low voltage. The proposed controller has a technique of exited with modulation(EWM) and one H-bridge and two photo sensors per phase. Experimental results show the performance of the proposed BLDC motors for an electric bicycle.

In this paper, a drive system for multi-phase bipolar brushless DC (MPB BLDC) motor is presented. This drive system is used for an electric bicycle. In general, the maximum and minimum speed of electric bicycle are required by law. At first, the proposed controller is satisfied for the limited speed control. Secondly, the system has a technique of exited with modulation(EWM), bidirection control, and partial square wave control. Thirdly, the controller is designed for system stability Experimental results show the performance of the proposed controller of MPB BLDC motors for an electric bicycle.

In this paper, a solar energy powered bicycle linked to a wireless sensor network (WSN) which monitors the transfer of solar energy to an electrical energy storage unit and an analysis of its effectiveness is proposed. In order to achieve this goal, a solar-powered bicycle with an attached ZigBee and a far-end wireless network supervisory system is setup. Experimental results prove that our prototype, solar energy powered bicycle, can achieve enough solar energy for charging a two lead-acid battery pack. As a result, the user, through use of a wireless network in the parking period can be kept aware of the data on the amount of immediate solar radiation, the degree of illumination, the ambient temperature, and electrical energy storage capacity information of the bicycle through an internet interface.

우리나라를 비롯한 선진국 국가의 대부분은 기존의 탄소 자동차 대용으로 전기 자동차, 메탄올 자동차, 수소 자동차 등 저탄소 자동차 개발에 막대한 투자를 계속하고 있다. 그러나, 궁극적이고 현실적인 무공해 교통수단은 자전거가 유일하기 때문에 각국의 중앙 정부 및 지방 정부들은 자전거 전용 도로를 개설하고 공공 임대 서비스 시스템 구축을 서두르고 있다. 현재 운영되고 있는 거의 모든 자전거 관제 시스템들은 자전거 보관소에서의 대여 및 반납과정의 자동화를 이루고 있으나, 보관소를 떠난 자전거의 이동 경로 및 소재를 모니터링하지는 않는다. 이 연구에서는 자전거 공공 임대 서비스를 위해 CDMA 모뎀과 결합된 GPS 단말기 및 이를 사용하는 위치기반 자전거 관제 시스템을 개발한다. 이 관제 시스템은 이동통신을 통하여 자전거에 부착된 GPS 관제 단말기로부터 위치 정보를 수신하고, 그 이동 경로를 GIS 연동 맵에 표시함으로써 자전거의 회수 및 재분배를 용이하게 하고, 도난 및 고의 파손을 최소화 시키며, 이용자들에게는 가까운 곳에 위치한 자전거 보관소를 추천해 줄 수 있다.
