This paper presents the implementation and characteristic analysis of a drive system for a three-phase permanent magnet motor with independent excitation winding that is applicable for electric bicycles. The design features improves the phase current waveform, output power, and torque by using advance angle control. This adjusts the phase angle of each phase current in relation to back EMF. In addition, a DC-side PI current control is performed through PWM generation circuit using a low-cost one-chip microcontroller and a CPLD chip, resulting in reduced system costs. Finally, the validity of this control scheme for driving electric bicycles and output/torque improvement characteristics are verified through analysis and experimental results.

This study was carried out to present design guidelines for developing electric bikes which could be used for more users regardless of gender and age. Through a survey with 336 male and female respondents in Seoul aged between 10s and 70 years or older, the convenience of bicycle use and image preference by gender and age were investigated. To evaluate convenience of bicycle use, the 7 principles of universal design made by Universal Design Center were customized to fit for accessing bicycles. The following are results of statistical analysis on 301 valid data: (1) of the 7 principles, conventional bicycles were identified to be the most inconvenient in principle 6(low physical effort), followed by in principle 5(tolerance for error) and 7(size and space for approach and use). Women appeared to feel more inconvenience than men in all evaluation criteria while using bicycles. The relation between the convenience of use and users' age was not identified. (2) Preferred images by bicycle users turned out to be those of 'simple' and 'light.' By gender, male preferred more 'technical' and 'dynamic' images than female. By age, users in their 10s-20s preferred more 'individual' image than 70 years or older.

In the former researches〔2〕〔5〕 for the unmanned bicycle system, we do only focus on stabilizing it by using the lateral motion of mass which plays important role in driving a bicycle system. In this papers, we suggest an algorithm for deriving steering angle and speed for a given desired tracking path. As you may see in this paper, load mass balance system plays important role in stabilization and it is also discussed. We propose a control algorithm for the autonomous self stabilization of unmanned bicycle by using nonlinear compensation-like control based on the Lyapunov stability theory We then propose a tracking control strategy by moving the center of load mass left and right respectively. From the computer simulation results, we can show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

최근 환경오염, 지구 온난화, 화석 연료 고갈 등이 범지구적 문제가 됨에 따라 녹색 에너지 기술 개발이 주목을 받고 있다. 이런 추세에 따라, 자전거가 다양한 스마트 에너지 기술과 결합하여 친환경 근거리 이동수단으로 발전하고 있다. 스마트 자전거 기술과 관련하여 많은 기술이 개발되고 있는데 이중 PAS(Power Assist System)는 사람의 힘과 전기의 힘을 효과적으로 결합하여 배터리로 구동되는 전기 모터를 제어하는 기술이다. 본 논문은 PAS를 구성하는 핵심 기술인 새로운 토크 센서를 제안한다. 이 기술은 기존 기술들과는 달리 자전거 뒤축에 스트레인 게이지를 부착하여 슬립링의 필요성을 없애고 사람에 의해 가해지는 구동축 토크를 측정 할 뿐 아니라, 현재 작동되는 기어의 위치를 근사적으로 추정 가능하게 한다.

Personal mobility, which was used exclusively for leisure activities, has recently been used as a means of transportation, and it is expected to increase its role as the next generation transportation. Sales of personal mobility are increasing rapidly, but the problem is that traffic accidents are also increasing. In this study, human body injury caused by various collisions between electric wheel users and road users that occur on bicycle or pedestrian roads mainly used by personal mobility is analyzed through collision analysis and collision risk analysis. In the case of the collision accident for electric wheel, it is analyzed that the road users are more likely to be injured on the pedestrian road than the bicycle road. In addition, the head hit each other or fall and hit the floor caused severe head injury.

Road photovoltaic power generation is a technology that combines photovoltaic power generation while maintaining the function of the existing road by installing special photovoltaic modules on it. In this paper, we developed three types of modules and structures suitable for sidewalk blocks and element technology for the development of a solar road module for a sidewalk and bicycle road. The road solar potential in Korea is 10 GW. After analyzing the daily data obtained after the construction of a 10 kW solar road testbed, it was found that its utilization rate compared to the general photovoltaic energy is 80%.

This paper presents for the torque characteristics and improving the efficiency of driving system of electric bicycle which applied IEWPM(Independently Excited Winding Permanent Magnet) motor. IEWPM motor can expand the number of phase from 3 phases to multiphase like SRM motor because stator windings are unconnected directly. BLDC motor raise rotor'-s electromagnetic torque per unit volume by using Spoke type permanent magnet. By using two photo sensor per phase and applying excited width, advance angle and bipolar control, we confirmed higher torque at a low speed, higher out-put at a high speed, and efficiency improvement at a wide speed control area.

In this paper, the battery charging device using DMFC(Direct Methanol Fuel Cell) for electric bicycle is proposed. In the proposed system, phase-shift full-bridge converter is used as a battery charger by boosting the 12V DMFC output voltage up to 36V. By using the phase-shift technique, the ringing of the transformer is reduced and the efficiency of the converter can be improved. The operation modes of proposed phase-shift full-bridge converter is analyzed and verified by the simulation and the experimental results.

A method to control the speed of DC motor with one-chip microprocessor PIC using PWM is discussed in this paper. This thesis deals with the DC motor speed control for electric bicycles which may be used as an alternative means of transformation in the future. We tried to design a stable system for controlling the speed of DC motor and materialized an electric bicycle loading this system. Now we are on the way to find out the problems this system has and work out the solutions.
