Abstract

The Connected Bike project combines several technologies, both hardware and software, to provide cycling enthusiasts with a modern alternative solution for training. Therefore, a trainer can monitor online through a Web Application some of the important parameters for training, more specifically the speed, cadence and power generated by the cyclist. Also, the trainer can see at every moment where the rider is with the aid of a GPS module. The system is built out of both hardware and software components. The hardware is in charge of collecting, scaling, converting and sending data from sensors. On the software side, there is the server, which consists of the Back-End and the MQTT (Message Queues Telemetry Transport) Broker, as well as the Front-End of the Web Application that displays and manages data as well as collaboration between cyclists and trainers. Finally, there is the Android Application that acts like a remote command for the hardware module on the bike, giving the rider control over how and when the ride is monitored.

Highlights

  • As times change, technology evolves and people migrate from fieldwork to deskwork, a new health threat arises: the sedentary lifestyle

  • Authorization tokens for Back-End, restricting access to MQTT channels by username and password and implementing SSL certificates on the server for both Back-End and MQTT broker; The Redux library was used to manage the entire state of the application and its persistence in the local memory of the browser so that it is not reset between refreshes

  • Securing the application by working with sessions, authorization tokens, SSL certificates, and Securing the working with sessions, authorization tokens, SSL certificates, and credentials forapplication the MQTTby clients credentials for the MQTT clients. This connected bike project was born out of a real issue encountered among both amateur and

Summary

Introduction

Technology evolves and people migrate from fieldwork to deskwork, a new health threat arises: the sedentary lifestyle. To fight this phenomenon, fitness seems like a handy solution, especially for the advantage of having a personal trainer that can monitor the activity and offer guidance throughout the training. The electric bicycle is a trendy solution, as it is presented in [1]. This paper proposes a technical solution meant to overcome this issue, by using sensors, microcontrollers and microcomputers to read, send, save, and display data. Any trainer can monitor relevant cycling data gathered from the bike in real time
