Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 電機工程學系所 === 97 === In this research, we propose a novel design that allows for the versatile use of the navigation systems for bicycles. Implementation an embedded hardware platform is combined with a global positioning system and a geographic information data base for navigation of the cycling path to obtain elevation profile allowing the cycler to pre-plan the cycling paths and estimate information of calorie. With this design, the rider is able to pre-plan his/her cycling path based on the self-assessed physical condition. During cycling, the system is also able to provide the cycler, his/her heart rate and a variety of real-time information. This navigation system can be used for recreation, training, cycling path planning and field investigation. The scope of the use of this system is expected to be extended to tourism, public health, weather, traffic, land management, agriculture, etc.
