Abstract

Malacca is one of the historical places in Malaysia that have a lot of tourist from inside and outside of the country and have a lot of tourist attraction.One of them is the unique trishaw that decorate with a lot of accessories to make it looked attractive which used to take the tourist around Malacca City.But we can see that that some of the trishaw rider is very old enough to rider the trishaw.In addition,the energy needed to cycle a trishaw is going to increase when the load or passenger weight is increase.So,we take some initiative to help the rider of trishaw to reduce their energy to cycle the trishaw by doing this project.We know that trishaw is made from part of bicycle.So,for this project the bicycle will be fabricated with a system which contain DC Motor to control the rotation of the rear wheel,Rotary Encoder to manipulate the desired speed and current speed,Arduino Mega ADK as a controller and Motor Driver.Even though this project is about an electric bicycle,but the original concept of bicycle is going to be maintain.For this project,the operation system will start by cycling the pedals,from there the speed will be collected by the Rotary Encoder and send to Arduino Mega ADK to compare the speed of pedals cycled and rotation of rear wheel which had been recorded by Rotary Encoder too.When both data collected,the comparation will be done.If the speed of pedals cycled is faster than the speed of rear wheel, the speed of DC Motor will increase until it reaches the speed of pedals cycled,if the speed of pedals cycled is slower than the speed of rear wheel,the DC Motor speed will be decrease.But if both speed of pedals cycled,and rear wheel are same,the speed of DC Motor will maintain the same.To do all those comparation of speed, Proportional Integral Derivative is used to ensure that the current speed can reached the desired speed as fast as possible.
