Your Bicycle and You Correctly
BICYCLE GEAR KNOXVILLE REGIONAL BICYCLE PROGRAM Helmets Lights Clothing It’s quite simple. Wear one. Headlight: A handlebar mounted light makes you visible Your clothing should be comfortable and not get caught in BICYCLING 101 to others (it’s also required by law when riding in the OK, so we’ll expand a little on that. Wear one, and wear it your bike. For short commutes, regular clothing can be just dark). If you are riding where there aren’t street lights (e.g. Your Bicycle and You correctly. Remember “eyes, ears and mouth.” fi ne. Just be sure to strap your right pants leg to keep it from greenways), you’ll need a strong beam. getting caught by the chain or get a chain guard for your bike. Rear Refl ectors: Get one at least For longer commutes, many prefer to wear cycling clothing, Eyes: Your helmet should be level 3 inches wide, and make sure it’s such as jerseys and cycling shorts. Experiment with what works on your head, not tilted back. pointed straight back, not up or for you, and invest in a few quality pieces. The right clothing There should just be room for one down. Refl ectors only work if they can provide you with added visibility during dark or low light or two fi ngers between your eyes are clean, so make sure to wipe yours conditions. You can buy clothing with refl ective panels and/ and the helmet. off occasionally. or piping or add refl ective tape to existing items.

Study of Lighting Systems for Safety Bicycle Rides
WSEAS TRANSACTIONS on ADVANCES in ENGINEERING EDUCATION A. Sivert, F Betin, B. Vacossin, Ph. Dondon Innovative sustainable development teaching at university: Study of lighting systems for safety bicycle rides (1) A. SIVERT1, F BETIN1, B. VACOSSIN1, Ph. DONDON2 (1) Institut Universitaire de Technologie de l’Aisne Département Génie Electrique SOISSONS Laboratory for Innovative Technologies (L.T.I), Team Energy Electric and Associated System (2) Université de Bordeaux, IPB Av Dr A. Schweitzer 33405 Talence Abstract: Numerous countries are nowadays trying to reduce pollution in the cities, in particular noise and CO2 emission. New alternating means of transportation (other than cars) are now encouraged. Bicycle is one of those. However, one of the key points for promoting bicycles downtown is safety rides whatever the traffic and weather conditions. In that way, lighting systems are mandatory to been seen and to see correctly. Unfortunate- ly, reliable technical data is missing. Only a very few commercial data is available on retailer’s web site or in specialized shops. So, in this paper, we propose firstly a didactical scientific “cooking guide” for students, teachers and bicycle users, who want to choose and design their own lighting based on LEDs (light-emitting diode). Optical, thermal, electronic and power management aspects are discussed. And a set of basic answers to the following questions is provided: What is a simple way of measuring brightness? How does one choose an LED and its optics according to the desired lighting? How is the performance of an LED checked? How does one choose a heatsink? How is the regulation of one or more LEDs managed? Secondly, our didactical experi- ence and feed-back of student’s groups in our electrical department is reported and discussed. -

Glowing Colors Lesson
Glowing Colors Overview: Students explore how different materials absorb and emit light of different colors Essential Question: How can materials make light of different colors? Background: White light is composed of lights of different colors. Each color is carried by a light moving as a wave. Different materials reflect light of different colors, or they absorb light of other colors. If an object appears red, it because all the other colors besides red are absorbed and only red light is reflected. Some materials create light when they are energized by light, electricity, heat or by chemical reactions. This is called fluorescence. Some dyes or day-glo colors absorb light and emit a bright light of a new color like orange or yellow. Each wavelength of light carries energy. Ultraviolet light has the most energy and that is why it can give you a sunburn. A fluorescent light converts electricity into light which excites other chemicals coating the inside of the bulb which in turn create white light. Phosphorescence is a release of light that lasts for a period after the energy source is removed. Chemiluminescence is the emission of light from a chemical reaction for example the reaction of luminol with hydrogen peroxide in light sticks. Research Connection: Researchers spend much of their time manipulating chemicals and materials so they absorb or emit light in way that is needed for a device. It is desirable for solar cells to absorb all wavelengths of light so they can make full use of the solar spectrum. Similarly, LEDs can be adjusted so they emit light that matches our needs. -

MADE IN GERMANY. Busch + Müller is the leading brand for bicycle lighting. All groundbreaking innovations such as IQ light technology, daytime running light, brake light function, universal headlights for e-bikes and much more originate here. Our new- est headlights pass the 100 Lux mark for dynamo-powered products, while battery-powered headlights even reach 150 Lux. Busch + Müller is Made in Germany. The production facility of the family-owned enterprise has always been in Meinerzhagen, Germany, from its founding in 1925 up until current day. ON or OFF, that is what bicycle light used to be in the past. Today our head- lights contain highly complex electronics. They increase light output and use software to control the LEDs – e.g. for daytime running light, beam boost, standlight, sensor automatic or light at close range. Pictured left is the electro- nic core of our IQ-X headlight with 100 Lux light output. All engineering achie- vements as well as the software originate at Busch + Müller. The circuit board is supplied by a specialist in our immediate neighbourhood. Every headlight is assembled and all its functions are individually tested in Meinerzhagen.

Abstract Most State and many other transportation departments in the U.S. maintain roadway and/or work zone design manuals containing State specific regulations, policies, and design guidance for their designers and consultants to use. However, those manuals vary widely in the depth of coverage and the work zone design topics offered. National work zone design guidelines are lacking. This series of guidelines for work zone designers covers various work zone safety design topics for states, design manual decision makers, editors, and subject matter experts to develop or enhance their own guidance materials. “Guidelines for Work Zone Designers – Pedestrian and Bicycle Accommodation” provides guidance covering the topic of safely accommodating pedestrians and bicyclists in work zones and is not intended to be a stand-alone document for designing work zone traffic control plans. -

The The high efficiency, simple driving, incandescent bulb has sufficient environmental protection and long life of high illumination and good color rendering, but power white-light diodes have attracted a lot of the power consumption is as much as attention from industry and academia. High- 40W~60W with high heat generation, low efficiency white LEDs have the potential to efficiency, short life and other replace traditional lighting such as incandescent [1-2] bulbs and fluorescent lamps, and can be used in disadvantages . Although fluorescent residential environments, industry and lamps are more energy-efficient than commercial advertising. Because of the incandescent bulbs, have lower heat output advantages of light-emitting diodes, such as and longer life span, the spectrum of power saving, environmental protection, long fluorescent lamps is intermittent, and the life and fast response time, they will replace color rendering is poor, and the pale light is traditional light-emitting elements as the new not pleasing. Especially its strobe effect, lighting source in the future.
