Gear app: automated bicycle rooftop storage system for smart homes

Paper in proceeding, 2015

As the amount of bicycles in large cities rises and outdoor space is becoming increasingly insufficient, a need for alternative storage spaces has emerged. Bike theft is also a major issue and is more frequent because of the huge number of bicycles. A secure automated rooftop bicycle storage system is proposed in the theme of “Smart homes”, enabling people to easily store and retrieve their bikes through this system with the use of a mobile application and RFID identification to establish safety and convenience.
