Dissertations / Theses on the topic 'Bicycle line'

In this thesis entitled ,,Analysis of motion of the bicycle when riding in a straight line”, I deal with the history of the bicycle, classifications and descriptions of the various parts of the bicycle and the analysis of accidents. The main objective is to analyze the movement of cyclists (bicycle) in a straight line in the implementation of tasks, typical for him - pedaling, showing a change in direction, or looking back for him. In conclusion evaluation, which can then be used in the processing of judicial opinions by experts.

Recycling and recovery of materials and energy from waste is a key factor to mitigate virgin material demands and reduce resource consumption by utilising waste as a resource for new products. However, some critical materials, such as neodymium, are barely recycled because of missing information on amount and disposition of these critical materials within the waste streams. The goal of the study is to quantify recycling potentials from small and electric motors originating from end-of-life vehicles (ELV), electric bicycles and industrial machinery in Germany and the EU with focus on currently lost rare earth elements. Furthermore, innovative approaches to improve recycling of these motors shall be investigated. Therefore, a calculation model to predict current and future waste streams and the incorporated recycling potentials has been developed. The results show an increasing trend of recycling potentials from small and electric motors for all waste streams. The recycling potential of neodymium is estimated at a range of 150 t to 240 t in 2020 in Germany. However, data inaccuracy and the calculation model are likely to cause overestimation of actually available recycling potential and have to be interpreted carefully. In conclusion, disassembly of small and electric motors from ELV and electric bicycles in combination with a subsequent specific recycling process has been identified as promising to improve utilisation of the recycling potentials of rare earth elements from small and electric motors. However, in case recycling quotas are the prior goal of improvement, the application and further optimisation of post shredder technology is more relevant.

La cycloaddition [2+2] du dichlorocétène sur le 7-méthylcycloheptatriène conduit, après expansion de cycle au diazométhane et déshydrohalogénation, à une -chlorotriénone, ceci de manière très sélective. Cet intermédiaire s'est montré très efficace par le passé dans la synthèse de sesquiterpènes naturels possédant le squelette bicyclo[5.3.0]décane (guaianes, guaianolides, azulènes...). Nous avons utilisé cette méthodologie dans une approche synthétique des thapsigargines, des guaianolides naturels à la structure complexe dont un dérivé est à l'étude contre le cancer de la prostate. Nos recherches et notre savoir-faire nous ont permis d'accéder à un intermédiaire avancé pouvant mener à cette famille de composés, il possède les groupements, insaturations et configurations clé nécessaires. Il peut par ailleurs servir de plateforme idéale pour accéder à des azulènes naturels. Nous avons alors en paralèle synthétisé des azulènes bleu, violet et rouge (dont il s'agit de la première synthèse pour ces derniers)

The diploma thesis was preceded by a specialized atelier focusing on the urban – architectural design of the area of „Vsetín – Ohrada“. During this project, I was mainly focusing on the analysis of the area and the basic design. The project focuses on the area in the southern part of Vsetín. Its borders are formed by Vsetínská Bečva from the northwest side, the 1st class expressway from the northeast side and the waterworks building from the south. The main goal of the project is to attract more visitors to the quiet nature oriented area, who will be provided with a large number of outdoor and indoor activities that can be done in the area. The area is separated by a bridge and an industrial zone from the outskirts of the city and thus lacks a connection to urban development. The project is therefore designed as a separate urban unit, reflecting the natural aspects of the whole area. The advantage of the place is the previously mentioned river Bečva flowing directly through the area and a bike path lining the right bank of this river. Buildings with added soil to create slopes with hangout areas form, among other things, a noise and aesthetic barrier from the city, turning attention to the river and nature. The grass-covered slopes will be made of soil obtained from the current slopes of soil under the auditorium around the spartakiad stadium as well as the excavation work of the newly designed buildings. These slopes also visually unify the buildings, contribute to the organic and natural appearance of the entire design, create hangout areas for spectators and add back the grass areas that were taken away because of the construction of the buildings.

While there has been considerable research regarding the role of Mobility Hubs in cities and transport networks, significant investment is required to develop these facilities. It is the correlation between investment, new users’ attraction and revenue generation that is the key for a sustainable development of Mobility Hubs and this investment must, therefore, be correctly assessed and targeted. This study aims to develop a methodology to determine the viability of investing in Mobility Hub features, weighing the investment on different Hub features and services against expected potential benefits and revenue generation, addressing the question: Can investment in Mobility Hub features be justified and, if so, which features maximize its expected positive impact? Based on a review of literature and definition of possible Hub features as variables, secondary research data was compiled to enable the analysis of expected impacts of each variable/feature in terms of new user’s attraction and revenue generation, which was then used to develop individual Net Present Value analysis of each feature. The result of these analysis demonstrates and concludes that different Hub features have the potential to generate substantially different investment outcomes, and that each feature should be analyzed individually prior to investment decision. It was also concluded by this research that the proposed assessment methodology can be used for future research on other listed Hub features, albeit with the constraint that primary data will be required when secondary research data is not available.

碩士<br>大葉大學<br>機械與自動化工程學系<br>102<br>Bicycle is extremely popular and provides a very important means of transportation in Taiwan. The biggest threat to bicyclist is the head injury in a bicycle accident. Annually, there were 800 deaths and 17 000 hospitalizations resulting from bicycle accidents in USA. In Taiwan, there were around 304 head injury cases related to bicycle accidents every year. Bicyclists are urged to protect themselves in the event of a bicycle accident by wearing helmets. A bicycle helmet should maintain the desirable performance, which is reducing the head acceleration during impacts. Therefore, bicycle helmets are tested to ensure a minimum level of performance by the helmet for a range of criteria that affect safety. To test the energy absorbing capabilities of helmet, the results of the linear acceleration of the headform is measured during the impact test. Firstly, this study constructs a finite element model of helmet impact test using LS-DYNA software based on the EN 1078:2006、CPSC and SNELL B95 standard. To verify the accuracy of the proposed numerical model to simulate impact test, simulation results are compared with those obtained from experimental tests. The comparison results indicate that the proposed numerical model of impact test has considerable potential for evaluating the performance and safety effectiveness of helmet. During an accident, the main part of a helmet responsible for shock absorption is the energy absorbing liner. To determine a structure of liner that reaches high effective protection, helmet models with new liner material were considered. A comparative study of different liner materials on the impact performance has been performed using FE simulation based on three standards. The analyzed results indicated that the Expanded Polypropylene(EPP) liner material dominates over other liner materials. This new helmet liner material demonstrated high energy-absorbing capabilities. The design guideline obtained in this study may serve as a useful reference for designers on future development of helmet safety technologies. Furthermore, the finite element model of helmet impact test can be useful to evaluate the shock-absorption abilities.

碩士<br>僑光科技大學<br>全球運籌管理研究所<br>98<br>After 2008, Taiwan&apos;&apos;s bicycle heat wave, the demand for bike commuter move into the stage of recreational sports. Two years later, media reports bike hot fever is cooling down while the number of participants in Taiwan&apos;&apos;s major cycling events have increased every year. This trend spread to the parents and children cycling around the island, cycling rite ... and so on, cycling seems to have become the dream of life, the performance of self-realization. This study explors six different geographic areas of consumer life style, whether the acts of buying a bike are different, and whether demographic variables on consumer behavior impact, and provides marketing aspects of the proposal for the industry. Lifestyle variables in this study are divided into three clusters of respondents (warm pleasure group, home group, and the courage to challenge groups of men and women), with different clusters, demographic and geographic variables as independent variables of the marketing strategy. The scope and object of the six geographical regions based on six areas of Taiwan whom have purchased a bicycle or consumers would like to purchase in the future. Written questionnaires with a total of 720 copies were distributed, 488 questionnaires were valid. Statistical software used SPSS12.0 for grouping the variables after factor analysis of information on lifestyle variables, and data reduction. One Way ANOVA to test the hypothesis. Analysis of Correlation of demographic variables to test hypotheses, and One Way ANOVA of geographical variables to test of the research hypothesis. The research results indicate as follows: 1.Different cluster of consumers for marketing mix strategy (product, price, place, promotion and public relations) were significantly different. 2.Gender and product, price and public relations show a high degree of correlation; education and promotion are highly related; annual income are highly associated with the distribution channel. 3.Consumers with different geographic variables in the marketing mix strategy (product, price, place, promotion and public relations) are significantly different.

碩士<br>淡江大學<br>建築學系碩士班<br>97<br>The purpose of this research is to review the problems faced by Taipei’s current bicycle-life development through the author’s personal experience as a bicycle lover and the discussion about bicycle development plans in the Netherlands and the municipality in the Netherlands, in the province of Utrecht – Houten. The primary research motivation came about when the researcher, who has long cycled between home and Taipei, discovered that the development of the city’s modern bicycle policy was overly rigid and still secondary to a planning concept centered around motor vehicles, resulting in the needs and expectations of city cyclists not being fully met. The structure of this research can be divided into three parts: First, according to literature analysis and the researcher’s experience, the three factors affecting city residents’ bicycle riding can be summarized as “safety,” “comfortability,” and “convenience.” After individual inspection, it is apparent that Taipei’s current developments are lacking in each factor, thus making it difficult to attract residents to ride their bikes in the city. Secondly, it was discovered through case discussion that the primary reason the Netherlands is able to successfully promote bicycle riding among citizens is that it has an advantageous policy, economy, social culture, and natural environment, and their government clearly places bicycles at the forefront of transportation development policy. Comparing the experience of the Netherlands and Taipei, it is apparent that the problem with Taipei’s current bicycle policy implementation lies within its lack of a comprehensive planning concept and its hardware construction being mostly in the experimental phase. At the same time, ordinary citizens’ over-reliance on motor vehicles is the root of the problem. Finally, experimental prospective planning and design operations are being implemented in downtown Taipei and put forward the concept of “bicycle-life area” to provide relevant organizations new ways of thought and methods of planning in future bicycle policy development. Therefore, this research concludes that if Taipei is to truly carry out the goal of “bicycle-integrated life,” it must grasp the following main points: 1. Take into consideration the station distribution of Taipei’s mass transportation system and the length/habits of city residents’ daily bicycle rides, and build a “bicycle-life area” for cyclists to safely ride by re-adjusting the road transportation system and the boundaries of where daily life activities occur. 2. The bicycle road network should be connected to public places and areas frequented by people in their daily lives, such as schools, mass transportation stations, parks, etc. Use the strategy of establishing transfer areas to supply people with convenient and highly effective travel methods. 3. Encourage businesses and government organizations to plan restrooms in public areas and the workplace in order to improve the comfortability of cyclists after their ride.

碩士<br>淡江大學<br>國際商學碩士在職專班<br>98<br>Due to Taiwan People are paying more attention to well-being and health-care these years, many citizen ride bicycles as a leisure activity. As a result, the demands for bicycles are rising as well. This research focus to examine whether the lifestyles of consumers have been influenced on their purchase decisions of bicycles also sets to explore whether demographic variables exhibit any influence on the purchase decisions of consumers. Finally, this research provides more suggestions for marketing efforts in the bicycle market. This research refers to lifestyle variables and demographic variables as independent variables and applies the AIO lifestyle variables as the classification reference. It then describes the consumers’ behaviour by using purchase decision variables, such as purchase decisions, purchase motivations and purchase evaluation criteria, in order to analyze the characteristics of consumers. This research samples mainly the consumers who have bought bicycles in Taipei City and County. Questionnaires are released in hard copy and through the Internet. A total of 251 questionnaires are issued and 216 effective ones are recovered. This research runs SPSS12.0 (a statistical software package) to conduct a factor analysis on lifestyle variables, purchase motivation variables, and variables concerning assessment criteria. Data is condenses and variables are grouped before the research hypotheses are validated with Regression Analyses, One-Way ANOVA and Chi-Square Tests. According to the research, the consumers who have purchased bicycles can be classified into two lifestyle types, i.e. regimen and fashion pursuing. Purchase motivation variables are grouped into two types, i.e. health-oriented and convenience-oriented. There are four purchase assessment variables, i.e. prices-oriented, functions-oriented, services-oriented and discounts-oriented. There are correlations between the variables concerning lifestyles, purchase motivations, purchase assessment criteria and demographics.

碩士<br>大葉大學<br>設計暨藝術學院碩士班<br>103<br>Riding a bicycle is booming in Taiwan in recent years, and more and more people ride a bicycle for commuter tools and recreational sports. According to the market demand in Taiwan, all kind of industry start to go towards sports and recreation. Types of bicycles becomes more popular in Taiwan. The leisure bicycles are a representative of the bicycle, and they are both mean of transport and motor function. The leisure bicycles are become of Taiwan culture with the changing patterns of modern society. This research will explore in-depth analysis. This research investigates the user riding the bike for a leisure activity and commuter tools by the expert interviews. For designing a bike in the lifestyle of Taiwan, the design direction comes from case study and questionnaire survey. It is found out people riding a bicycle as a leisure activity is the same way as commuters. Both of them are for the happy live in purpose, and they usually choose Motocross and the leisure bicycles. After an investigation, the following are five questions about the user: 1 The operational problems when folding bikes. 2 Feel dangerous when using 3C products. 3 Feel anxiety when parking the bicycle. 4 Have glove compartment but no burdens. 5 Haven’t a sense of security riding because of poor road conditions. The user prefer the style of pared-down and simple. They also want the bicycles can be cleaned easily. At last, the result of the research putting the work together with the help of computer graphics.

碩士<br>大葉大學<br>運動事業管理學系<br>98<br>The purpose of the study was to analyze the behavior of bicycle consumer, including their life style, product involvement and how the above factors contribute to bicycle purchasing decisions. A questionnaire survey was conducted, on a basis of 332 bicycle consumer from central Taiwan, to identify key elements which influence consumer’s decision-making. Life Styles, Product Involvement and Purchasing Decisions are the three dimensions to analyze the behaviors of the target consumer. The researches find that Opinions accounts for a major factor in the dimension of Life Style. In the dimension of Product Involvement, Recognizing Risks yields the highest score while The Importance of Bicycles is considered as a relatively minor factor. Program Evaluation, which achieves an upper average score, outperforms the other factors in the dimensions of Purchasing Decisions. Purchasing Option provided by bicycle channels gains the lowest mark in this dimension. Specifically, gender, age, education, and income levels of the consumers indicate a significant difference in Product Involvement. It is also notable that marriage status, age, and occupations of the consumers show a significant difference in Life Style. Finally, results suggest that both Life Style and Product Involvement of the consumers have substantial impacts on making purchasing decisions. In particular, the factor, Activity, shows a significant influence on the Life Style of consumers. As for Product Involvement, Pleasure Value has a strong favorable effect on it. For future implementation, customization of the product and segmentation of the market based on the lifestyle of bicycle consumer are discussen
