Control unit of a docking station for light electric vehiclesfull text in English

摘要

In the context of growing interest and importance for the development of modern and efficient solutions using electric vehicles, the concept of bike and car sharing is getting more interest. The management of such a docking station implies several functional aspects as: user-friendly, secure access management of vehicles; lock/unlock by authorized users; self-diagnosis and defect/failure detection mechanisms; remote control and supervision via Ethernet. The paper presents the structure, basic architecture and functionality of such a docking station, based on a 16-bit ARM-core microcontroller.Keywords: docking station, electric, vehicles, bike, control unit, Stellaris, Ethernet
