• Area of the system is taken in such a way that length of the system is 174 cm and width as 40 cm thinking that cyclist is sitting on the bike. So total area of the system is (1.74*0.4) 0.696 m^2. The taken dimensions are real time measurements which are taken after me sitting on the bicycle.
• Total mass of the system is the combined mass of the cyclist and e-bike. Which are taken as 75kg for cyclist and mass of E-bike is taken as 37kg. On the whole it is 112kg(4).
• Wheel Diameter is taken as 26 inch (0.6604 meter) so radius of the wheel is taken as 0.33 meter.(5)
• Drag co efficient is taken as 0.9 from book High-Tech Cycling by Ed Burke.(6)
• Wheel Inertia is calculated by assuming the mass of the E-Bike tire which is 1.2 Kg and radius is 0.33 meter so the inertia of the wheel becomes 0.13068 and for two wheels it is taken as 0.2613 Kg.m^2.
• Motor torque, Brake torque, Gear Torque values are taken my team mates who are designing Motor, Brake, Gear.
Use Cases
In the below graphs the X-axis represent time in seconds, 1st Y-axis (Top) represent the Angular Speed, 2nd Y-axis (Middle) represent the Measured Speed to ECU, 3rd Y-axis (Bottom) represent the Current position/Distance travelled by cyclist in 10 …show more content…
The bike’s angular speed and measured speed increases linearly from 0 to 35 rad/s and 12 m/s respectively. The bike travels 60 m in 10 seconds in this Use case.
Use case 3: In case 3, I have taken flat road and now the bike is travelling from Emmerich to Kleve where we go against the wind (20 km/h i.e, 5.5 m/s). The bike’s angular speed and measured speed increases linearly from 0 to 26rad/s and 8.5 m/s respectively. The bike travels 50 m in 10 seconds in this Use case.
Use case 4: In case 4, I have taken slope of the road as 5 with no wind speed. The bike’s angular speed and measured speed increases linearly from 0 to 21rad/s and 7 m/s respectively. The bike travels 36 m in 10 seconds in this Use case.
Use case 5: In case 5, I have taken slope of the road as 10 with no wind speed which got me negative graph so I increased motor and gear torque to 25 N.m and tail wind (-20km/h). The bike’s angular speed and measured speed increases linearly from 0 to 6.5 rad/s and 2.1 m/s respectively. The bike travels 10 m in 10 seconds in this Use
