Android-Based motorcycle safety notification system

This paper presents the Android-based Motorcycle Safety Notification System that focuses on the motorcycle safety precaution. Motorcycle safety maintenance is more than just fixing the motorcycle when broken. Regular checking on the condition of the motorcycles and performing general maintenance is a must to always keep the motorcycle in a good condition. The more regular the maintenance is done on a motorcycle, the safer it can be used, since breakdown while riding the motorcycle can cause great danger to the rider. In this context, the aim of this system is to remind riders to check and replace their motorcycle components once they start to degrade. Using sensors placed on the motorcycles' important components, the readings of components' condition were gathered on a microcontroller. It then will be processed and transmitted to the smartphone via Bluetooth connection. As most people own a smartphone, it would be perfect for riders to be able to view their motorcycle's condition records on their phones. Since most Malaysian motorcycle riders own low-end motorcycles, low-cost sensors are used so that the notification system is affordable to most riders. Having such a system will ensure that the riders will be able to keep track of their bikes' condition based on the readings gathered from the sensors. Benefiting from such reminders and alerts from the phone app, the riders will be able to perform appropriate maintenance work on their bikes, thus preventing unexpected mishaps while on the road.
