A high-performance electric motorcycle (HPEM) integrated charger-inverter (ICI) with an induction motor (IM) is proposed in this article. Typical components are shared drive and charge modes, resulting savings of weight, volume, cost. two-stage ICI for AC powertrain power factor correction (PFC) battery charger functions considered. Despite high voltage ripple on the DC link, a bandwidth nonlin...

Augmented reality technology in the field of education can be used as an interactive learning media that minimize boredom during conventional teaching and process, namely by using books containing text pictures.The advantages augmented technology, it to explain basic motorcycle introduction materials, which usually require a complete explanation not only from writing pictures. Therefore, this s...

This work aimed to test the long-lasting effects of learning acquired with a virtual motorcycle-riding trainer as a tool to improve hazard perception. During the simulation, the rider can interact with other road actors and experience the most common potential accident situations in order to learn to modify his or her behavior to anticipate hazards and avoid crashes. We compared performance to ...

Traffic simulation can help to evaluate the impact of different mobility behaviors on traffic flow from safety, efficiency, and environmental views. The objective this paper is extend SUMO (Simulation Urban Mobility) road simulator model motorcycles vehicular traffic. First, we go through diverse aspects models for in SUMO. Later, opt most suitable motorcycles. Finally, motorcycle kinds vehicle...

In this paper we present a new robust approach to extract moving objects in traffic scenes. It allows moving obstacles (cars, motorcycles, ...) to be detected from a moving car without any a priori information about the shape or location of these moving objects. This technique is based on the concept of tracking color blobs in image sequences.

In response to political pressure, the state of Florida repealed its mandatory motorcycle helmet-use law for all operators and passengers older than the age of 21, effective July 1, 2000. Using monthly data and a multiple time-series design, the authors assessed the effect of this law change on serious injury and fatality rates for motorcycle riders aged 21 and older. Controls for serious injur...
