Diseño y construcción de un prototipo que permita controlar la carga aplicada a la suspensión de un bus urbano para registrar el exceso de capacidad en la unidad.

Abstract

The following investigation's project specific the design and construction of an electronic prototype that allows measurement of the displacement of the suspension of an urban passenger bus, for which the design in SolidWorks of the chassis was previously made using technical manuals for the construction of the maker. The bodywork and power train were made based on the INEN 1323 technical standard, on the other hand, to find the deformation of the leaf spring with respect to the chassis, the finite element method was used, considering all the factors that intervene in the deformation of the suspension is to say the maximum permissible dead and dead loads, finally it has achieved the deformation value of the leaf spring, it build an electronic device using a laser distance sensor, in addition, a global positioning system that will allow knowing the exact location of the unity. The implemented system generates a pair of data every second depending on the date, time, geographical location, speed and excess load, when there is a value outside the driving range a signal of the violation will be sent and a link with the exact coordinates executable with Google Maps to the cell phone that is linked and thus have a database stored on a removable card within the prototype, therefore It has a reliable system of alert and data collection driving cycle of the unit for a later analysis. For the respective system installation, the specific construction parameters of each unit must be taken based on the construction of the frame and the chassis.
