Iranian Specialists Make Smart Parking System to Prevent Motorcycle, Bike Theft
“The product is a device for organizing bikes during parking which can also prevent theft of bicycles and motorcycles,” Sadeq Goliani, the director of the technological unit, told ANA.
“After placing the bicycle or motorcycle inside the device, the user can lock all the stealable and important parts of the bike or motorcycle by using the steel cable mounted on the back of the device. Once it is locked, the alarm is activated,” he said.
The traffic in the parking lot is detected by motion sensors, and a warning siren sounds to prevent damage or curiosity,” Goliani said.
“Any damage and cut of the steel wire will cause the long-term alarm system to sound, and when the building's electricity is cut off, the system will automatically switch to a low-consumption mode by the device's power source and continue to work for up to 6 hours, and any unusual contact or movement is detected by the sensors and the alarm is activated,” he underlined.
In a relevant development in April, Iranian researchers at Islamic Azad University’s Isfahan branch had also succeeded in designing and building a hybrid-electric-gas-mechanical bicycle with multiple energy management capabilities.
“This hybrid-electric-gas-mechanical engine with multiple energy management capabilities can be installed on any bicycle and turn it into an electric and automatic bike,” Shahin Mamouriani, one of the researchers, told ANA.
“This bike has a hybrid mode, that is, the cyclist moves, pedals, and when you are on the downhill, you can put the bike in charging and production mode and charge the bike while generating electricity. If you get tired of pedaling, you can put the bike in electric mode,” he added.
Noting that if the bike's battery has run out and the cyclist is tired of pedaling and is not going downhill, he/she can put the bike in ‘Move Hybrid Gas’ mode, Mamouriani added, “In this case, a 100-gram PR gas capsule that is mounted at the back of the bike is automatically turned on and by creating a spark in the housing, it ignites the gas and starts the Stirling engine.”
“This device is able to return nearly 60% of the energy and its Stirling cycle efficiency is about 28%,” he said.
