Intelligent Bicycle Race Monitoring System Using IoT

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) plays a pivotal role in easing the work of people. Internet of Things is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals, or people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. The unique identifiers mentioned above are RF transmitters, which use electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. Using RF technology, we will decrease manually achieved workloads considerably and RF technology is universal, useful, and efficient. The microcontroller is used to extract information from the RF transmitter and send it to the system with the help of a Wi-Fi module. By incorporating these technologies, it helps us in tracking the bicycles and do the required analysis. This project is primarily designed to monitor bicycles in a bicycle club. It is used to identify the location of bicycles that are used within a particular area. The hardware architecture consists of a transmitter, RF receiver, microcontroller, Wi-Fi module, Web server, and database server. The web server and database server are located in the master station. The RF transmitters are distributed around an open area. They are programmed with a unique ID for each bicycle. The communication between the tag reader and the webserver is done via microcontroller and Wi-Fi modules.
