In contrast to current solutions, we want to be able to retrofit our system to existing crank sets, obviating the need to abandon parts that the bicyclist already owns. In principle, according to preliminary tests performed at the MMAE department, this can be done using sets of quite inexpensive strain gauges. However, being able to get accurate torque measurements will require some advanced processing of signals from the strain gauges. These signals can then be transmitted wirelessly to a bicycle computer like the Edge 705 that the global positioning system corporation Garmin released this spring. There is a defined wireless protocol, called ANT+Sport, which has been developed specifically for the purpose of transmitting exercise data, such as power output or heart rate, to small computers. Chipsets and development kits for this protocol are also available commercially. Therefore, our task will be to find an optimal configuration of strain gauges that will be attached to the crank set, and to develop an algorithm to process the strain gauge data in order to isolate a signal that is proportional to the applied torque. This signal will then be transmitted to the bicycle computer for display and storage Submitted by Vishal Patel (vpatel87@iit.edu) on 2011-03-24T20:31:22Z No. of bitstreams: 7 Power Measurements for Road Bikes IPRO 324 Project Plan F08.pdf: 121431 bytes, checksum: 2213a56499d7435f82a655e130539d78 (MD5) Power Measurements for Road Bikes IPRO 324 Poster2 F08.pdf: 2421814 bytes, checksum: 7e4a599369c5f2af60f66b37a7b9ce3b (MD5) Power Measurements for Road Bikes IPRO 324 MidTerm Presentation F08.pdf: 525417 bytes, checksum: 84ab294119fff75321e5636c466e73ac (MD5) Power Measurements for Road Bikes IPRO 324 Final Report F08.pdf: 1716384 bytes, checksum: 52b91e9559f1b3e32165c0e034f7d86e (MD5) Power Measurements for Road Bikes IPRO 324 Final Presentation F08.pdf: 699328 bytes, checksum: 4a7d4cfe7c4b0517248f63f648f195f7 (MD5) Power Measurements for Road Bikes IPRO 324 Ethics Statement F08.pdf: 65623 bytes, checksum: 1fa25a27a410649a49cc30b2c45c6e03 (MD5) Power Measurements for Road Bikes IPRO 324 Brochure F08.pdf: 952054 bytes, checksum: 43b1f9df55d793b5fd3e8984c8f7882b (MD5) Approved for entry into archive by Charles Uth(uth@iit.edu) on 2011-03-25T14:49:43Z (GMT) No. of bitstreams: 7 Power Measurements for Road Bikes IPRO 324 Project Plan F08.pdf: 121431 bytes, checksum: 2213a56499d7435f82a655e130539d78 (MD5) Power Measurements for Road Bikes IPRO 324 Poster2 F08.pdf: 2421814 bytes, checksum: 7e4a599369c5f2af60f66b37a7b9ce3b (MD5) Power Measurements for Road Bikes IPRO 324 MidTerm Presentation F08.pdf: 525417 bytes, checksum: 84ab294119fff75321e5636c466e73ac (MD5) Power Measurements for Road Bikes IPRO 324 Final Report F08.pdf: 1716384 bytes, checksum: 52b91e9559f1b3e32165c0e034f7d86e (MD5) Power Measurements for Road Bikes IPRO 324 Final Presentation F08.pdf: 699328 bytes, checksum: 4a7d4cfe7c4b0517248f63f648f195f7 (MD5) Power Measurements for Road Bikes IPRO 324 Ethics Statement F08.pdf: 65623 bytes, checksum: 1fa25a27a410649a49cc30b2c45c6e03 (MD5) Power Measurements for Road Bikes IPRO 324 Brochure F08.pdf: 952054 bytes, checksum: 43b1f9df55d793b5fd3e8984c8f7882b (MD5) Made available in DSpace on 2011-03-25T14:49:43Z (GMT).
