Abstract

Lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles face challenges in terms of energy conversion efficiency and thermal resistance. One of the main factors affecting battery performance is the variation in engine speed, which has an impact on current consumption, voltage changes, and an increase in battery temperature. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the effect of engine speed variation on the electric current consumption, battery life, and thermal characteristics of a 60V/23Ah lithium-ion battery in a 3000W electric motorcycle prototype. In addition, this research also evaluates the durability of the battery under varying operational conditions to identify potential optimizations of the battery management system. The methods used in this research involved MATLAB-based experiments and simulations. Tests were conducted by measuring battery current, voltage, and temperature at six different engine speed levels, and then compared with simulation results developed using a mathematical model based on motor efficiency and battery internal resistance. The results show that an increase in engine speed is directly proportional to the current consumption and a decrease in battery voltage. In addition, the battery temperature increases steadily, with relatively small differences between experimental and simulation results. This research contributes to a better understanding of the energy dynamics of electric vehicle battery systems and offers a simulation model approach to optimizing the design of battery management systems. The results of this study can be used to improve energy conversion efficiency and extend battery life in electric vehicles. Further research can be conducted by considering more complex environmental parameters, such as cooling effects and vehicle dynamic load variations.

Abstract

Purpose: Prolonged static sitting for ≥6 hours among online motorcycle taxi drivers increases lumbar load, reduces flexibility, and contributes to non-specific low back pain. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the Three Exercises program in reducing pain intensity in this population. Materials and Methods: This study used a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design involving 30 online motorcycle taxi drivers aged 22–60 years who met the inclusion criteria. Participants were randomly assigned to an intervention group receiving Three Exercises (knee to chest, pelvic tilting, and child pose) or to a control group. The intervention was performed 3 times per week for 12 weeks, with two sets of 10 repetitions per session, maintaining each position for 7 seconds with 3 seconds of rest. Pain intensity was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) before and after the intervention. Statistical analysis used Wilcoxon paired tests and Mann–Whitney tests for between-group comparison. Result: The intervention group (n=15) showed a significant reduction in VAS scores from pretest (3.93 ± 1.48) to posttest (p = 0.001). The control group (n=15) also showed a more minor but significant reduction in VAS from 4.46 ± 1.06 (p = 0.025). The between-group comparison revealed a significant difference in posttest VAS values (p = 0.001), demonstrating superior improvement in the intervention group. Participant characteristics, including age, BMI distribution, work duration, and educational background, were comparable between groups. Conclusion: The Three Exercises program significantly reduces pain intensity compared with standard care in online motorcycle taxi drivers with low back pain. Its simple structure and feasibility support its use as an effective therapeutic exercise to improve lumbar comfort and functional capacity.
