  • CMG Method of Designing Self-Balancing Bicycles: a Review
    International Journal of Advance Science and Technology Vol. 29, No. 10S, (2020), pp.5928 -5937 CMG Method of Designing Self-Balancing Bicycles: A Review Avinash Kumar1, Adeel beg2, Pulkit Jain3 1,2Pursuing bachelor degree program in mechatronics engineering in Chandigarh University,India 3Assistant Professor in Mechatronics engineering in Chandigarh University, India Email:[email protected], [email protected] Abstract In recent years researchers are busy in concept of electric vehicles and the driverless cars. Now compared to the automated cars, autonomous bicycles are more affordable and environment friendly in nature which do not produce any harmful effect to the environment. The autonomous bicycles reduce human effort and are also considered best for the physically disabled person. This review paper explains the benefits of autonomous bicycles and its various methods of balancing. The biggest challenge in automating bicycle is the inherent problem of staying balanced. This paper gives knowledge about the modifications which can be carried out on conventional bicycles to make them autonomous. Various electrical components and their uses are also described in this paper. The design of the autonomous bicycle using Control Movement Gyroscope (CMG) to make it self-balance also described in this paper. The hardware and software development of autonomous bicycles are described in this paper. Keywords: CMG; driverless bicycles; self-balance; Autonomous; balancing; development. 1 INTRODUCTION Self balancing and driving bicycles or autonomous bicycles becomes a most searched topic on internet in this year. It has many benefits on normal bicycles ,bicycles usually lead many injuries but it can reduce injuries. Generally everyone think that why not we try to make 4-wheeled or 3-wheeled autonomous vehicles rather than trying to make autonomous bicycles.

Vorankommen ist im physischen wie auch im metaphorischen Sinn dem Menschen innewohnend. Der Mensch bewegt sich zuerst auf seinen vier und dann auf seinen zwei Extremitäten, wobei das Herantasten an die Routine und dann auch die routinierte Bewegung selbst immer wieder von Stürzen begleitet ist. Kommt es hierbei nun zu einem Sturz (v.a. in der Ebene), dann sollte solch ein Unfallereignis selten in schwere und kaum in tödliche Verletzungen münden. Dem Menschen freilich ist die Bewegung auf den eigenen Beinen schon immer zu wenig gewesen und die Erfindung des Rades führte zu ungeahnten Möglichkeiten. Kleinstkinder sind bereits mit dem Rutschauto, Kleinkinder mit dem Laufrad oder Kinder und Jugendliche mit dem Fahrrad unterwegs.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ScholarBank@NUS DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A SELF-BALANCING BICYCLE USING CONTROL MOMENT GYRO Pom Yuan Lam (B.Eng. (Hons.), NTU) A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE 2012 i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author wishes to express his heart-felt gratitude to his supervisor, Associate Professor Marcelo H. Ang Jr for his guidance through the years. He is grateful to Professor Ang for providing him with a lot of opportunities to extend his knowledge and to develop his skills. ii SUMMARY Bicycles provide transportation for leisure, recreation, and travel between home and work, throughout the world, in big cities as well as in small villages, supporting human mobility for more than a century. This widespread vehicle is the least expensive means of wheeled transportation. The bicycle was continually developed during the last quarter of the 19th century and the 20th century, leading to the high-performance modern wheeled transportation of today. An account of bicycle evolution can be found in [1] as well as in the Proceedings of the International Cycling History Conference, held every year since 1990 [2]. Modelling, analysis and control of bicycle dynamics has been an attractive area of research. Bicycle dynamics has attracted the attention of the automatic control research community due to its non-intuitive nature, for example, the fact that it depends strongly on the bicycle speed. The bicycle displays interesting dynamics behaviour. It is statically unstable like the inverted pendulum, but under certain conditions, is stable in forward motion [3].

  • SRTS Adapted Guide
    Traffic Safety Supplemental Guide for Teaching Grades Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety to Individuals with K-8 Disabilities The Supplemental Guide for Teaching Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety to Individuals with Disabilities was designed to be used in conjunction with the Florida Safe Routes to School Traffic Safety Education Guide. Florida Safe Routes to School (SRTS) is funded by the Florida Department of Transportation. In addition to the Florida SRTS staff, we thank the following professionals who provided valuable information and feedback: Scott Adolf Roger Dibrito Daisy Eddins Lisa Ruby Christine Stopka, PhD Keith Young 2 Supplemental Guide for Teaching Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety to Individuals with Disabilities Thank you for choosing to make your community a healthier and safer place! The adapted Florida Safe Routes to School Traffic Safety Education Guide was developed to help educators teach pedestrian and bicycle safety to individuals with disabilities. This guide is a resource that educators can use when implementing pedestrian and bicycle safety education, and can be tailored based on the needs of individuals, and the time, equipment, and facilities available. A growing health risk for children is physical inactivity which can lead to diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and other preventable diseases. Teaching children to be physically active through safe walking and bicycling can promote the skills necessary to live a more active and healthier life. Although walking and bicycling are viable forms of physical activity and transportation, they may pose added risks to students who have not been educated in safe traffic practices. Pedestrians and bicyclists need proper training in safe behaviors, use of equipment, and rules of the road.
