AUTOMATED SIDE STAND FOR MOTORCYCLE HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION

Abstract

Motorbikes are popular because they are easy to move around and park takes up very little space.
However, accidents often cause severe injuries and even fatalities. The internal and environmental factors that
contribute to these occurrences are diverse. One of the reasons is people forget to lift the side and get up but there
are technological fixes that can assist. This study presents a new type of motorbike side stand that is capable of being
raised after the bike is in motion and lower when it comes to a stop. The design is controlled by an Arduino UNO
code that manages the sensors, relay switches, and regulators. There is no need for any other kind of energy storage
or complicated wiring because the system is meant to draw power from the motorcycle's batteries.
Theft of bicycles of all kinds is a widespread problem that occurs worldwide. It is critical that we safeguard our
bikes against theft because most cycle owners whose have lost their vehicles may never be able to retrieve them. The
fact that bike stands must be handled manually, which may be particularly unpleasant for women, is a huge
problem for bike owners. Thus, the concept of protecting bicycles from theft, as well as the motorised motor biking
stand slider developed for this project, are both addressed. This project uses Arduino, a fingerprint reader, and
GSM to create a system that only allows approved users to power up the bike. If an authorised finger is placed over
the scanner , the Arduino based main processor recognise the user and activates the motor by providing power
through a relay. A green light will illuminate when the power to the relay is turned on, indicating that only
authorised individuals are riding the motorbike. When the bike is turned on, the side stands will rotate to a stable
position automatically. The key turns off the motor or cycle, and the side stand drops to a certain position so that the
bike may be parked. In order to show this notion in action, a prototype model similar to the one shown with this
abstract will be constructed and used in a live presentation. When the bike is shut off, the permitted person must
once again show his identify using biometrics technology called as before the bike may be turned on. Imagine that a
person who has not been authorised to ride the bike tries to steal it by showing his finger through a scanner, which
triggers an alarm and sends data to the relevant mobile phone.
