Numerous systems have been proposed to reduce the chance of theft and other security issues relating to bicycle rental systems, including a key-operated portable locking device with a built-in alarm, a remote-controlled bicycle lock, and an alarm system for bicycles. However, such solutions have limitations and raise the issue of weak security against theft and tampering. Thus, this study proposes a novel design scheme for the intelligent lock on bicycles. The system will employ an accelerometer, gyroscope, hybrid design, and potentially a magnetometer to create an inertial measurement unit for motion detection if theft or tampering occurs. Individually, the accelerometer and gyroscope provide substantial benefits to a navigation system. Because these sensors gather data on the same phenomenon, this method combines sensory data from multiple sources to deliver information with less ambiguity or greater accuracy. Furthermore, the added feature of the voltage generator gives this project novelty from previous patented bicycle security systems since the alarm is not the only feature that may have deterred bike thieves. The current passes through the skin, activating nerve pathways at a relatively high frequency and low current, just beyond the sensation threshold. voltage generator refers to the conventional mode as constant pulsing at a fixed frequency.
