Smart Bike Monitoring System for Cyclist via Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract

This project presents a smart bike with monitoring system for cyclist via internet of things (IoT). The system is designed for real time monitoring of cyclist in terms of health condition and cyclist’s performance. The whole system consists of various sensors such as heart rate sensor, pulse oximetry sensor, magnet reed sensor and GPS module. The sensors are connected to the microcontroller and Wi-Fi module that can be accessed through an IoT platform which is blynk application. The data of the cyclist in terms of health condition and cyclist’s performance can be monitored by the cyclist as well as their coach. First, heart rate sensor was used to monitor the heart rate of the cyclist within time whereas pulse oximetry sensor was used to measure the oxygen saturation inside the cyclist’s body. Meanwhile, magnet reed sensor was mounted to the frame of the bike to measure the speed and distance travelled by the cyclist. Plus, GPS module was used to track and trace the position of the cyclist. The data that have been transmitted can be synchronized or displayed on smartphone via blynk application. Therefore, GUI interface of blynk application displayed the parameter such as heart rate, pulse oximetry, speed, distance travelled and position for the cyclist and coach to monitor their health condition and cyclist’s while in training or tournament.
