Smart E bicycle: an efficient and effective way to greener future

This paper presents and proposes a smart electric bicycle(SeB) leveraging the power of wireless technologies, artificial intelli- gence and cloud computing in order make its user’s experience smooth, safe and enjoyable hence encouraging the user to choose SeB over other modes of transportation. The proposed system introduces an Electric Bicycle connected with a smartphone in one variant or with “smartphone and cloud†in another variant for smart decision-making and efficiency and other related tips for the user. The range of bicycle is predicted based upon the user profile (weight, age etc.), route details (inclinations, distances of al- ternative routes), State of Charge(Soc) and State of Health(SoH) of the battery used. Multiple user profiles and minute details of the route (slope, speed breakers etc.) are captured using sensor like accelerometer and basis on these data smart decisions for pow- er saving and range extensions are made. Also, safety critical and predictive maintenance features are presented.
