自行車作為人們常用的交通工具，隨著時代演變，自行車的功能早已不再侷限於基本的移動手段，而是逐漸延伸至休閒、運動、競賽乃至日常通勤等多元化用途。在此背景下，自行車煞車系統所承受的負荷亦同步增加，對其性能與可靠性的要求變得更加嚴格。良好的煞車效能不僅關乎騎乘者的安全，也影響整體車輛的控制穩定性。因此，煞車套件的性能檢測成為產品開發與品管流程中的關鍵環節。然而，傳統煞車套件的測試方式往往仰賴將產品實際安裝於測試機台或整車上，並透過長時間模擬真實騎乘情境進行測試，以評估其耐用性與效能表現。此類方法不僅耗時耗力，還需動用大量人力與設備資源，造成檢測成本偏高，且難以實現即時監控與快速回饋。
為了解決上述問題，本研究開發出一套創新的煞車性能檢測設備，能夠有效模擬自行車實際運行過程中的動態狀況，包括不同速度、負載、氣候條件（如濕滑、高溫或低溫）以及緊急制動情境。此設備搭載感測器模組與數位控制單元，可即時量測煞車力道、反應時間、溫升變化與摩擦係數等關鍵指標，並透過物聯網技術將量測數據同步傳輸至雲端平台或本地電腦進行分析。使用者可即時監控煞車系統的性能變化，快速做出調整或品管決策。此技術不僅有效提升測試效率與資料精度，也大幅降低了產品測試的時間與人力成本，對於自行車製造業者而言，是一項具高附加價值的工具，亦可望作為未來智慧製造與產品驗證的重要支援系統之一。

As a commonly used means of transportation, bicycles have evolved significantly over time. Their function is no longer limited to basic mobility, but has expanded to encompass diverse applications such as recreation, sports, competition, and daily commuting. Against this backdrop, the load borne by bicycle braking systems has also increased accordingly, resulting in more stringent requirements for their performance and reliability. Effective braking is not only critical to rider safety but also influences the overall stability and control of the bicycle.
As a result, the performance testing of brake components has become a key step in product development and quality control processes. However, traditional methods for testing brake systems typically rely on mounting the product onto a test rig or a complete bicycle, followed by prolonged simulation of real-world riding scenarios to evaluate durability and performance. Such approaches are time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring significant human and equipment resources, which leads to high testing costs and limits the ability to achieve real-time monitoring and rapid feedback.
To address these challenges, this study proposes an innovative braking performance testing system capable of accurately simulating the dynamic conditions encountered during actual bicycle operation. These include variations in speed, load, environmental conditions (such as wet, high-temperature, or low-temperature environments. The system integrates a sensor module and digital control unit to continuously monitor key parameters such as braking force, response time, temperature rise, and coefficient of friction. Measurement data is transmitted in real time to a cloud platform or local computer using IoT technology for further analysis.
The proposed system not only enhances testing efficiency and data accuracy but also significantly reduces the time and labor costs associated with product testing. For bicycle manufacturers, it serves as a high-value-added tool and holds promise as a key support system in the future of smart manufacturing and product validation.
