Özet:

 In recent years, the bicycle industry has experienced remarkable advancements through the incorporation of innovative technologies and transformative design principles. In this context, the Automated Manual Transmission AMT system, widely adopted in the automotive sector, represents a critical technological milestone. These systems have offered many advantages such as increased fuel efficiency, reduced operating costs, and increased user comfort in motor vehicles by automating traditional manual transmissions through advanced electronic components and actuators, and have thus gained wide acceptance in the sector. Despite this proven success in the automotive industry, the applicability of a similar system in bicycles remains an under-researched area, which constitutes a significant gap in the development of technological innovations in the bicycle industry. This study presents the development of an innovative gear-shifting system that automates the traditional manual gear-shifting process on bicycles with an intelligence-based system. The system, which autonomously determines optimal gear shifts by processing data obtained from sensors and implements these decisions with an integrated actuator mechanism, enables manual transmission bicycles to be practically converted to automatic transmission. Notable for its compact design, low cost, and user-friendly assembly, this system also optimizes performance and comfort by offering multiple driving modes that dynamically adapt to user preferences or changing riding conditions. The developed system has been integrated into a manual transmission bicycle and thoroughly tested, with its ability to perform automatic gear shifts with high accuracy scientifically proven.

 Son yıllarda bisiklet endüstrisi, yenilikçi teknolojilerin ve dönüştürücü tasarım ilkelerinin bir araya getirilmesiyle kayda değer ilerlemeler kaydetmiştir. Bu bağlamda, otomotiv sektöründe yaygın olarak kullanılan Otomatikleştirilmiş Manuel Şanzıman AMT sistemi, önemli bir teknolojik dönüm noktasını temsil etmektedir. Bu sistemler, gelişmiş elektronik bileşenler ve aktüatörler aracılığıyla geleneksel manuel şanzımanların otomatikleştirilmesiyle motorlu taşıtlarda yakıt verimliliğinin artması, işletme maliyetlerinin azalması, kullanıcı konforunun artması gibi pek çok avantaj sunmuş ve sektörde geniş kabul görmüştür. Otomotiv sektöründeki bu kanıtlanmış başarıya rağmen, benzer bir sistemin bisikletlerde uygulanabilirliği yeterince incelenmemiş bir alan olarak kalmakta ve bu durum, bisiklet endüstrisinde teknolojik yeniliklerin geliştirilmesi açısından önemli bir eksiklik oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışma, bisikletlerde geleneksel yöntemlerle manuel şekilde gerçekleştirilen vites değiştirme sürecini, zekâ tabanlı bir sistemle otomatikleştiren yenilikçi bir vites değiştirme sisteminin geliştirilmesini sunmaktadır. Sensörlerden elde edilen verileri işleyerek optimal vites geçişlerini otonom bir şekilde belirleyen ve bu kararları entegre bir aktüatör mekanizmasıyla uygulayan sistem, manuel şanzımanlı bisikletlerin pratik bir şekilde otomatik vitese dönüştürülmesini sağlamaktadır. Kompakt tasarımı, düşük maliyeti ve kullanıcı dostu montajıyla dikkat çeken bu sistem, aynı zamanda kullanıcı tercihlerine veya değişen sürüş koşullarına dinamik olarak uyum sağlayan birden fazla sürüş modu sunarak performansı ve konforu da optimize etmektedir. Geliştirilen sistem, manuel şanzımanlı bir bisiklete entegre edilmiş ve kapsamlı bir şekilde test edilmiş olup, otomatik vites geçişlerini yüksek doğrulukla gerçekleştirebildiği bilimsel olarak kanıtlanmıştır.
