E-CARGO BICYCLE

Abstract

The previous year's research offered a model for forecasting parcel demand and simulating parcel delivery tours utilizing cargo bicycles. This year, the concept has been upgraded to include new components that improve the efficiency and sustainability of the cargo bicycle system.One of the newly additional components is the battery, which powers the cargo bicycle's engine. This allows the cyclist to go longer distances and carry larger weights while exerting less physical effort. The motor is controlled by a throttle, which allows the rider to modify the pace of the cargo bicycle as needed.Another new addition is the solar power tracker, which uses the power of the sun to replenish the battery when the cargo bicycle is parked or in use. This eliminates the need for external charging sources while also promoting sustainability through the use of renewable energy sources.The revised research highlights the benefits of employing cargo bicycles in urban delivery systems by modeling alternative shares of cargo bicycles and motorized vans, as well as changing micro depot densities and parcel demand intensities. According to the study, the newly added components improve the cargo bicycle system's efficiency and sustainability, making it a viable alternative to motorized delivery trucks in metropolitan settings.Overall, the new project is useful for urban planners and politicians interested in supporting sustainable mobility options. It demonstrates the use of cargo bicycles, particularly when integrated with cutting- edge technologies such as batteries, motors, throttles, and solar power trackers.
