A Motorcycle Monitor and Control System for Teenager Riders

Abstract

Motorcycles have enormous benefits in supporting transportation. However, they also have negative effects, especially for teenager riders. A motorcycles smart system is required which can improve their rider safety, called Driver Control. Driver Control is built using Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller, an ADXL345 accelerometer for detecting motorcycles fallen and measuring its speed, an U-blox 6 GPS for locating motorcycles, a GPRS Sim900 for communicating with server, and a relay for controlling motorcycles power system. The data obtained from the system will be delivered to server to be stored and presented to users via web browser or mobile application. The test results show that system is capable to perform motorcycle data acquisition in real time, including its speed, location, and fallen state. The system can also access motorcycle power system as it can turn off or turn on the engine controlled by user request.
