Development of the electric vehicle type personal transporter

Abstract

The article presents the construction of a Segway two-wheeled electric vehicle, starting on the design of each of its parts and the application of reverse engineering, for its development in Ecuador. The selection of sensors, controller and actuators is made from references used in other investigations. The for-mulation of Lagrange-Euler is used for the dynamic model of the system; in the selection and dimensioning of the motors the power and torque-speed ratios are taken into account to overcome the resistance in an inclined plane. For the evaluation of the prototype tests were performed in slope situations, acting in a stable ma-nner with speeds higher than 4 km/h and lower than 20 km/h. The autonomy of the vehicle is approximately 4 hours for a route of 40 kilometers and the discharge of the batteries between 25.2 and 20 volts. The design of the vehicle meets the requirements for this type of personal transport.
