Electric Load Driven Longboard DEGREE PROJECT IN TECHNOLOGY, FIRST CYCLE, 15 CREDITS STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2020 Electric Load Driven Longboard JOHAN ANDERSSON RICKARD HÖGLUND KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT Electric Load Driven Longboard JOHAN ANDERSSON RICKARD HOGLUND¨ Bachelor’s Thesis at ITM Supervisor: Nihad Subasic Examiner: Nihad Subasic TRITA-ITM-EX 2020:29 Abstract Keywords: mechatronics, longboard, brushless direct cur- rent motor, Hall effect sensor, load cell, Wheatstone bridge, LiPo battery, Arduino, ODrive This bachelor’s thesis aims to show an extensive overview of all the parts that build up an electric load driven long- board and see if a load controlled longboard can be seen as a safe, comfortable and convenient alternative to the more common remote controlled longboard. The thesis will also answer how weight can be measured on a longboard in the most effective way, what the most comfortable riding tech- nique is and what a good motor-battery configuration to be able to travel at 30 km/h and 10 km would be. The longboard measures the weight distribution with load cells located between the deck and the trucks. An Arduino translates the input from the load cells to a certain speed and then sends it to an ODrive which controls a BLDC mo- tor that is powered by two LiPo batteries. The results show that a load controlled longboard can very well be seen as a good alternative if right riding technique is used. The best technique is when the longboard acceler- ates when the rider tilts and keeps a constant speed when the rider stands straight. The best way to measure the weight is to fasten the trucks with hinges which lets the load cells register weight without anything interfering. Not all tests could be done because of Covid-19 but a measured top speed of 15 km/h with a high gear ratio is a promising result for the future when more suitable gear ratios will be tested to try to reach the goal of 30 km/h. Referat Elektrisk lastdriven longboard Nyckelord: mekatronik, longboard, borstl¨os likstr¨omsmotor, Hall effekt sensor, lastcell, Wheatstone brygga, LiPo batte- ri, Arduino, ODrive Det h¨ar kandidatexamensarbetet str¨avar efter att visa en omfattande ¨overblick p˚aalla delar som bygger upp en elekt- risk lastdriven longboard och se om en laststyrd longboard kan ses som ett s¨akert, komfortabelt och beh¨andigt alterna- tiv till den vanligare radiostyrda longboarden via handkon- troll. Det h¨ar arbetet kommer ocks˚asvara p˚ahur vikt kan m¨atas p˚aen longboard p˚aett s˚aeffektivt s¨att som m¨ojligt, vad som ¨ar den mest bekv¨ama ˚akstilen och vad ¨ar en bra motor-batteri konfiguration f¨or att kunna ˚akai 30 km/h och n˚a10 km skulle vara. Longboarden m¨ater viktf¨ordelningen med lastceller som ¨ar placerade mellan br¨adan och truckarna. En Arduino om- vandlar indatan fr˚anlastcellerna till en specifik hastighet som den sedan skickar till en ODrive som kontrollerar en borstl¨os likstr¨omsmotor som i sin tur ¨ar driven av tv˚aLiPo batterier. Resultaten visar att en laststyrd longboard kan mycket v¨al ses som ett bra alternativ om r¨att ˚akstilanv¨ands. Den b¨asta stilen ¨ar att longboarden accelererar n¨ar ˚akarenlu- tar sig och h˚alleren konstant hastighet n¨ar ˚akarenst˚ar rakt. Det b¨asta s¨attet att m¨ata vikt ¨ar att montera truc- karna p˚ag˚angj¨arn som l˚aterlastcellerna m¨ata vikt utan att n˚agotst¨or. Alla tester kunde inte utf¨oras p˚agrund av Covid-19 men en uppm¨att topphastighet p˚a15 km/h med en h¨og utv¨axling ¨ar ett lovande resultat f¨or framtiden n¨ar l¨ampligare utv¨axlingar kommer testas f¨or att f¨ors¨oka n˚a m˚aletp˚a30 km/h.

Due to its characteristics such as the length and the bigger and softer wheels it rolls a lot better and smoother and is therefore more often used for commuting and downhill riding. A longboard does require a bit of work from the user since the user have to kick to propel it forward. This can get quite exhausting after a while. Electric longboards already exists on the market. These make it possible to travel without having to kick but the rider has to use a remote controller to pilot it instead. The downsides of this is that the user can lose the controller, it can run out of battery and it can lose connection to the board. To be able to travel on a longboard without having to propel it by kicking or without having to use a remote controller presented itself as an interesting challenge, thus this project was chosen. 1.2 Purpose The purpose of this thesis is to examine how a load driven electrical longboard should be set up so a person can ride it comfortably and safe. The thesis strive to answer the following questions: • What is a good motor-battery configuration to have a top speed of 30 km/h and a range of 10 km? • What is a good way to consistently measure weight on a longboard? • How does a person control the longboard in the most comfortable way? • Can a load controlled longboard be seen as a safe, comfortable and convenient alternative to a remote controlled longboard? 1 CHAPTER 1.

  • Let the People Ride Singletrack: Understanding Mountain Bike Trail Usage
    Let the people ride singletrack: Understanding mountain bike trail usage University of Bath: Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering MEng Civil and Architectural Engineering with year long work placement AR30315 Dissertation 3rd May 2020 Student: Octavia Lewis Academic Supervisor: Chris Blenkinsopp Abstract Mountain biking is a global sport with millions of participants. The sport has grown from a high-risk activity, undertaken by a handful of individuals in extreme environments, to one that can be enjoyed by many. Technological developments have made mountain biking increasingly accessible, in particular the advent of e-bikes. The most fundamental element to mountain biking is the location in which it is carried out. Although terrain can vary significantly, trails are integral to participation. The objective of this study was to understand mountain bike trail usage within the UK through investigation of when trails are used, the demographic of mountain bikers, their motivations for riding, and the impact of refurbishment on trail use. Usage was considered for a popular singletrack trail in Bristol, UK, quantified through analysis of data from rider counters installed in the trail. Demographic, motivations and refurbishment impact were evaluated through an online survey made available to anyone who had ridden the trail in the previous 12 months. The survey was advertised to users by installing a sign on site, distributing leaflets and sharing on online platforms. The format and design of the survey ensures that it is transferrable for future application to allow comparison and for use at trails elsewhere. Results from the analysis of rider counter data have identified temporal variations in trail usage dependent on time of year, day of the week, time of day, school holidays and events.

    CITY OF GOLDEN PARKS & RECREATION SURVEY RESULTS JUNE 2016 TABLE OF CONTENTS METHODOLOGY & SELECTED FINDINGS DEMOGRAPHICS CURRENT FACILITIES FUTURE FACILITIES, AMENITIES, & SERVICES FINANCIAL CHOICES/FEES OPEN-ENDED COMMENTS METHODOLOGY & SELECTED FINDINGS INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to gather public feedback on Golden parks and recreation facilities, services, and programs. This survey research effort and subsequent analysis were designed to assist the City of Golden in updating their master plan regarding existing and possibly future enhancements, facilities, and services. METHODOLOGY The survey was conducted using two primary methods: 1) a postcard sent to a random sample of Golden residents (the “invitation sample”) inviting residents to complete the survey online or request a paper version of the survey; and 2) an open- link online survey for members of the public who were not part of the invitation sample. The analysis herein primarily focuses on responses from the statistically-valid invitation sample. The primary list source used for the mailing was a registered voter list purchased from Jefferson County. Use of the registered voter list includes renters in the sample who are frequently missed in other list sources such as utility billing lists. METHODOLOGY A total of 4,000 postcards were mailed to a random sample of City of Golden residents in May 2016. After accounting for undeliverable addresses (121 total), 3,879 postcards were delivered and 363 responses were received, resulting in a response rate of 9.4 percent. The margin of error for the 363 statistically valid responses is approximately +/- 5.1 percentage points calculated for questions at 50% response.

  • Heart Rate Effects of Longboard Skateboarding
    HEART RATE EFFECTS OF LONGBOARD SKATEBOARDING John Amtmann, Department of Applied Health Science/Safety, Health and Industrial Hygiene, Montana Tech, Butte, MT Kyle Loch, Department of Biology and Environmental Engineering, Montana Tech, Butte, MT Charles S. Todd, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Montana Tech, Butte, Montana William Spath, Department of Applied Health Science/Safety, Health and Industrial Hygiene, Montana Tech, Butte, MT ABSTRACT The longboard skateboard has a longer, and usually wider, deck than the standard skateboard to provide greater support of the rider during the higher speeds attained on this version of the skateboard. Fourteen volunteer subjects participated in downhill and uphill longboarding trials. Heart rates were monitored during both trials, and the downhill and uphill average heart rates were compared with resting heart rates and then compared with accepted intensity recommendations for health and fitness benefits.The study questions were: Does longboarding have an acute effect on heart rates? If so, will longboarding uphill and/ or downhill cause heart rate changes to levels recommended to improve cardiorespiratory health and fitness? With these questions as guidance we developed four hypotheses. With an average resting heart rate of 59.9 beats/minute, average downhill heart rate of 131.4 beats/minute and average uphill heart rate of 167.8 beats/minute statistical analysis showed statistically significant p values < .0001 and each null hypothesis was rejected in favor of their respective research hypotheses. Based on average age and average resting heart rate, average age-predicted maximum heart rate was 193.2 beats/minute and heart rate reserve was 133.2 beats/minute.
