| Summary: | Metrokapsul is one of the modes of transportation produced by PT. Teknik Rekayasa Kereta Kapsul, as one of the solutions to congestion problems in the city of Bandung. Metrocapsules are expected to be public transportation that can save time for commuters, especially in big cities where time is very valuable. Before it can operate, a series of technical analysis is needed to ensure the feasibility and safety of the vehicle. One of them is bogie kinematics analysis.
The research begins with a study of literature, discussion, collection of vehicle specification data from PT. Teknik Rekayasa Kereta Kapsul, and formulation of cases of metrocapsule movements. From the formulation of the case movement, mathematical calculations are carried out and also measured graphically. Mathematical calculations make use of basic theories in the form of vector-loop methods to find motion relationships between components by creating several equations with various kinds of input variables and output variables. The calculation results from this vector-loop method will then be compared with the measurement graphically to validate the level of truth. In this study, the input variable is the angle and length of plate A and plate B (plate connected with knuckle), and the output variable is the left wheel angle, right wheel angle, and also the turning radius formed.
The minimum turn radius value of metrocapsules obtained from this study is 6838.652 mm. This value is a satisfactory value because the planned development of the metrocapsule line has a turning radius of 15 meters, so the metrocapsules can still operate at the turning radius. It is hoped that this research will continue to calculate the age of the wheel due to friction on the sharpest turns. |
