The purpose of the project is to fabricate a Personal Transporter (PT).This vehicle is designed to overcome the cost of the actual Segway Vehicle and to provide zero pollution within the campus or industries and this transporter doesn’t use the gyroscope unit and sensors to keep the vehicle in the flat position, Instead this is achieved by the supporting wheels. The project aims at fabricating a vehicle which can reach a maximum speed of 20kmph (can be programmed up to 50kmph) and travel a distance of approximately 8- 10 kms. The time for which the vehicle runs is roughly 2 hours and vary depending on the speed at which the vehicle travels. The torque and power of the motor and are selected from the various configurations available in the market and which satisfies our requirements also. The wheels used are hub motor type wheels in which the motor is situated inside the hub of the wheel at the center. These wheels are not generally available in India and need to be imported. These wheels require less torque and power when compared to motor driving the wheel. The input to the wheel is given through an accelerator and is controlled using an electronic controller. Brakes can be applied to any wheel and turning the vehicle can be done by applying brakes on any of the side required depending on the direction of turn to be taken. For the vehicle to stop completely both the brakes need to be applied.

In this paper, we are concerning about the growing demand of energy all over the world, which motivate us to switchover renewable resource of energy. There are many different ways by which we can save energy in different sectors. Our main focus is on automobile sector where we are converting old petroleum bike to electric bike. In these electric bikes we use Hub motor instead of combustion engine as there is less pollution, low maintenance cost, reduces noise. These bikes utilize chemical energy stored in the rechargeable battery packs. This paper deals with the design and development of electric bike which make use of electric energy as primary source. There is a distribution for charging the battery emitting it from the main system.

Conventional vechicles running on fossil fuel causes more global pollution and it creates an adverse effects on the environment. To bring out solution for this problem electric vechicle is introduced. To make it more effective regenerative braking system is implemented in this project. To reduce energy consumption regeneration is used, when brake is applied by the user regeneration occurs, the energy produced by the regeneration is stored in the battery. Among various categories of electric motors, normally permanent magnet synchronous motor, brushless dc motor, induction motor and switch reluctance motor are widely outed for the electric vechicle. Here we have used dc motor for regenerative braking.

Die zur Neige gehenden Erdölvorräte lassen einen schrittweisen Umstieg auf elektrische Antriebstechnologien aus heutiger Sicht langfristig unausweichlich erscheinen. Jedoch bedingt die starke Pfadabhängigkeit politischer Steuerung in der Verkehrs- und Wirtschaftspolitik einerseits, aber auch das habitualisierte Mobilitätsverhaltens der Bevölkerung andererseits, dass Elektromobilität noch zu sehr in der Kategorie des konventionellen PKW mit seinen überkommenen räumlichen und sozialen Nutzungsmustern gedacht wird.

The primary goal of this research was to model the potential of a bike sharing
program (BSP) in Portugal and more specifically within the city of Porto. For many
years, the topic of BSP has been heavily debated as the preferred mode of transportation
for many urban cities across the globe due to several reasons, such as that they are
environmentally friendly, cost-effective, convenient, safe, and more.
While the derived benefits of BSP are not yet clearly justified in academic
research, many politicians believe that BSP is good for locals as well as tourists. As a
result, several major cities such as New York, Paris, London and more have justified this
public policy when it comes to the adoption of various schemes of BSP.
While other cities around the world are finding ways to manage an overgrowing
tourist population, the trend is something fairly new for Portugal and the city of Porto. In
order to alleviate these problems, an introduction of a green mode of transportation like
BSP, if implemented successfully, could help the city of Porto to better manage its global
popularity as well as solidify the city as a sustainable tourist destination.
The research questions addressed by this thesis were: Under what conditions
could the expansion of BSP in Porto, Portugal become financially successful when
looking at future conditions and possible technological advancement? What are some
predictive factors of success beyond the baseline and alternative scenario models?
Hypotheses include: 1) There are predictive variables associated with past BSP case
studies and 2) BSP can be financially viable for the city of Porto. Ultimately, the
iv
implementation of a successful bike sharing scenario would improve the well-being of
the citizens of Porto, as well as help to mitigate the influx of international tourists, by
providing them with a viable mode of transportation which in the end will result in
various sustainable and economic benefits to the city of Porto.
In order to measure the potential of BSP in Porto, case studies from various cities
around the world with similar characteristics to Porto were collated into a large database
for a comparative analysis. From the published data and primary sources, a system
dynamics model was created in order to predict the feasibility of implementing BSP in
Porto. These data were assembled into two spreadsheets. The primary spreadsheet
includes various scenarios regarding BSP implementation over a period of 15 years while
the secondary spreadsheet focused on multiple factors in order to provide additional input
as well as emphasize the outcome relating to detailed study of BSP in Porto.
Bike sharing in the city of Porto has the potential to become economically viable
but only through the implementation of the 4th Generation Electric Dockless Bikes with
Parking Stalls. This scenario is the most effective because it is the only one that is
profitable with a net profit at approximately $5.2 million after a 15 years projection. In
addition, a multiple regression analysis was performed on historical data from 23 cities
around the world which resulted in no significant effect of different variables in driving
the success of BSP. Upon completing a quantitative as well as a qualitative analysis of
the situation, I determined that the implementation of BSP in Porto has the potential to
succeed; however, more tailored research as well as transparency when it comes to
business operations and financing are needed in order to ensure optimal success.

This study aims to find out the old frame data with a new frame so that the data obtained from these two frames can be used as a comparison of the results of the data in both frames and to obtain data optimization by choosing a lighter frame. With a lightweight frame can save electricity on the battery because of the use of electric power that is not as big as a heavier frame. The author tries to find alternative models of lightweight frames and saves energy on electric motorbikes with calculations such as simulation analysis, calculation of frame volume, calculation of gravity, calculation of center of gravity, calculation of stability, calculation of strength and analysis of calculation of energy consumption horizontal and uphill paths. HK-40 material has proven to be better, the difference in both materials when the road is horizontal distance of 300 m, there is a power difference of 0,14 W and when the road climbs 60 m distance, a power difference of 0,07 W. occurs in HK-40 material can save power of 0,14 W on the horizontal road and 0,07 W on the uphill road. Then the difference in power produced will be even greater. So that there is a considerable power efficiency if used in a considerable distance.

Bereits vor ein paar Jahren ist das Pedelec (Elektrofahrrad) neu auf den Fahrradmarkt getreten und hat das Spektrum unserer möglichen Verkehrsmitteloptionen erweitert. Verschiedene empirische Studien haben bereits festgestellt, dass Pedelecs einen Beitrag zur Reduktion des Autoverkehrs leisten können. Pedelecs bieten eine Vielzahl verschiedener Einsatzmöglichkeiten und ihre Nutzung ist keinesfalls auf eine bestimmte Altersklasse beschränkt (wie z.B. die sog. „Silver Ager“). Insbesondere die Zielgruppe Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene hat bisher jedoch nur wenig Beachtung erfahren. Im Vordergrund der wissenschaftlichen Begleitforschung des Azubi-E-Bike Projekts stand daher die Analyse der Akzeptanz und des Potenzials von Pedelecs bei der Zielgruppe „Junge Auszubildende und Erwachsene“ in der Region Neckaralb.
Insgesamt haben 1214 Personen an der Studie teilgenommen, davon 881 Azubis, Schüler und Praktikanten bis zu 26 Jahren. Wie die Erhebungen zeigen, weist das Mobilitätsverhalten der Zielgruppe Azubis und junge Erwachsene eine stark ausgeprägte Autoorientierung auf, während das Fahrrad bisher nur eine sehr geringe Rolle spielt.
Im Rahmen des Projekts hatten die Azubis die Möglichkeit eine Woche lang ein Pedelec auf ihrem Weg zur Arbeit zu nutzen. Die intensive Probemöglichkeit würde als überaus positiv bewertet. Zudem zeigen die statistischen Analysen, dass die Testerfahrung einen signifikanten Einfluss auf Einstellungen gegenüber Pedelecs ausübt. So wurde beispielsweise nach der Testerfahrung der Faktor Spaß am Pedelecfahren wesentlich höher bewertet als noch zuvor. Ebenso lassen sich signifikante Unterschiede in der Bedeutung von Ladesäulen feststellen, denen nach der eigentlichen Nutzungserfahrung wesentlich weniger Bedeutung für die weitere Verbreitung beigemessen wird.
Die Ergebnisse der Befragung liefern wertvolle Ansatzpunkte für eine pedelecorientierten Radverkehrsförderung. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei nicht nur Marketingaktivitäten, die ein modernes Image schaffen und die Vorteile von Pedelecs bewusst machen, sondern zentraler  Aspekt ist das Erleben und Ausprobieren der neuen Technik sowie die Gestaltung von Sozialisierungsprozessen und Entwicklung innovativer Finanzierungsmodelle.

Electric Vehicles (EV) have gained interest over the past decade. Accordingly, to support EV technology installation of charging stations are required. A Photovoltaic Charging Station (PV_CS) can generate clean electricity from the sun for charging electric bikes but as can be exposed to harsh weather conditions and faults, which can result in deviations of system characteristics from their normal operating conditions. Reliability of these charging stations is extremely important for supplying adequate charge to EVs, and therefore it must be maintained at all times. This paper presents a systematic approach to electrical reliability issues for PV_CS, by establishing an experimental test bed, which will ultimately allow the examination of a number of electrical faults scenarios that can occur in PV_CS systems. The design and installation of the PV_CS system, as well as assembly of different measurement sensors are presented to distinguish the electrical and thermal characteristics of...

Now days supply of fossil fuel are limited. In addition world population increases the energy demand is also increasing day by day. The basic need of human life is power and it can manipulate major development in any country. Bicycle are known as rich source of kinetic energy. It is the main mode of transportation for many Indian villegers. It helps to improve physical fitness and also helpful for restraining environment pollution. Electrical energy harvested by using bicycle will be clean, renewable and sustainable. This will be very beneficial for the countries that are facing serve energy crisis.
