Abstract :
With the ever-increasing traffic congestion
in urban areas, efficient and safe management of
vehicles at traffic signals has become paramount.
Motorcycles, being one of the most popular modes of
transportation, pose unique challenges at traffic
signals, especially when riders fail to engage neutral
or shut off the engine, leading to accidental throttle
engagement and safety hazards. This abstract
presents an innovative solution :an Automatic Gear
Lock System(AGLS)for motorcycles designed to
engage the gear lock when the traffic signal turns red,
enhancing safety, reducing fuel wastage, and
minimizing air pollution. The AGLS comprises a
microcontroller, sensors, and an actuator system
integrated into the motorcycle's trans mission system.
When the motorcycle approaches a traffic signal and
the red light is detected by the system's sensors, the
microcontroller sends a signal to engage the gear lock
mechanism. This mechanism prevents the motorcycle
from changing gears and ensures it remains in
neutral. The gear lock disengages automatically when
the signal turns green or when the rider applies
throttle pressure. Moreover, the system incorporates
safety features to prevent unintended activation and
ensures rider control is prioritized.
