Project Description:

The IoT Smart Bicycle Tracker is a GPS- and sensor-enabled system that allows bicycle owners to track the real-time location, movement, and status of their bicycle through a web or mobile application. Designed for urban commuters, delivery riders, and fitness enthusiasts, this system combines IoT sensors, GPS, and a cloud-based dashboard to ensure safety, theft protection, and performance monitoring of bicycles.

Core Objective:

To develop a smart IoT-enabled system that helps users track their bicycle in real-time, monitor ride data, and receive security alerts if the bicycle is moved or tampered with.

Key Features:

1. Real-Time GPS Tracking:

   • Continuously monitor the bicycle’s live location on a map.

   • Route history stored for each ride session.

2. Anti-Theft Alerts:

   • Motion detection alerts sent to the user if the bicycle moves unexpectedly.

   • Geo-fencing: Sends alert when bicycle leaves a defined area.

3. Ride Metrics Dashboard:

   • Distance traveled, average speed, calories burned.

   • Ride logs and analytics per day/week/month.

4. Battery Status Monitoring:

   • Check IoT device’s battery level remotely.

5. Lock/Unlock Integration (Optional):

   • Control smart bike lock from the app.

6. User Interface:

   • Responsive web dashboard or mobile app with location map, stats, and alert settings.
