GUI for the performance analysis of pedelecs

Modeling the behaviour of electric bicycles

Description

When measurement data for bicycle speed, pedal torque and traction force are available for a given PEDal ELectric Cycle (=pedelec or E-PAC: electrically power-assisted bicycle) this graphical user interface analyses the performance of this pedelec.

The GUI is to be used together with the LS-SVM toolbox. This toolbox can be downloaded for free from http://www.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/sista/lssvmlab/
The pedelec toolbox is equipped with all the function files and required manipulations for the visualisation and interpretation of the measurement data. These both toolboxes should be stored in the `matlabroot/toolbox' path in order to let the GUI work properly.
The GUI is set-up around 5 programfiles or m-files, preferably executed in the given order:
Models_Creation.m for the creation of the LS-SVM models, Performance_Plots.m for the creation of the performance plots, DriveCycle.m for the creation and analysis of a user defined drive cycle, Performance_Parameters.m for the calculation of the performance parameters and Comparison.m for the comparison of the performance of different pedelecs

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.1.0 (R14SP3)
• Other requirements: LS-SVM toolbox

Very, very good
