TRANSPORTATION DESIGN TO TRANSPORT BASE TRANSCEIVER STATION OPERATION NEEDS IN URBAN

Abstrak

The development of telecommunications technology and the increasing use of mobile phones in urban areas have led to an increased demand for telecommunications infrastructure. Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) are crucial infrastructure for meeting telecommunication needs in urban areas. However, difficult access to BTS and limited availability in certain areas often pose challenges to BTS operations. Therefore, there is a need to design an efficient and flexible transport device to meet the operational requirements of BTS in urban areas. The aim of this research is to design an electric-based trike for transporting the operational needs of BTS in urban areas. This study employs a design approach that includes needs analysis, ergonomic analysis, material selection, component design, drive system design, and control system design. The result of this research is a design of an electric-based trike that can be used to transport the operational needs of BTS in urban areas. The trike is designed with lightweight and corrosion-resistant materials, and equipped with an efficient electric drive system. Furthermore, the trike is designed ergonomically to ensure comfort for the driver and passengers. The cargo-carrying trike is a new innovation created to maximize the effectiveness of goods delivery. In the design of the three-wheeled cargo-carrying trike, a separate tilting trike system will be incorporated, where the body of the trike tilts towards the direction of the turn. The research methods used include interviews, direct observations, and card sorting. The research findings show that the designed trike can be used to transport various types of operational needs for Base Transceiver Stations, such as batteries, cables, inverters, and other technical equipment. This trike is expected to facilitate access to BTS and improve operational efficiency of BTS in urban areas.
