Design and Development of IoT-Based Hybrid Bike with Multiple Modes of Charging

Abstract

To overcome the energy crisis of the country and to make an advancement in the field of the automotive industry, hybrid vehicles are the need of the future. Advancement in this industry will make the environment less polluted and it also enhances the efficiency of the vehicles as they are fuel-efficient and cost-effective. The hybrid system is a combination of more than one energy source which increases the overall performance of the system. In this paper, IC engines have been used with the integrated effect of hub motor which operates on electrical energy. The multiple modes of energy are used as the input power of the proposed hybrid bike. The electrical energy will be generated from different sources like solar, WAPDA 220V, bike generator, and also from the electric motor which acts as a generator when hub motor operates on engine model. The proposed model of hybrid vehicles can cover up all these deficiencies because of its environment-friendly and cost-effective behavior. The fuel consumption of this hybrid bike after testing is much lower and it can also travel more distance as compared to other traditional bikes. The use of the internet of things (IoT) in this field makes the proposed system much secure as a proper tracking system has been made for this. The performance parameters of the bike can also be monitored which makes it more sustainable user friendly.
