Abstract

This paper presents cyclist monitoring system that tracks cyclist path and shows the cyclist training condition. Cyclist monitoring system is using NI myRIO-1900 that integrates the sensors and modules and then monitors the cyclist data using Ubidots web interface. In this system, heart rate sensor, magnetic sensor, GPS module and GSM module are connected to NI myRIO-1900. Heart rate sensor was used to calculate the heart rate of cyclist from time to time. Magnetic sensor was attached to the frame of bicycle to calculate the speed of bicycle. GPS module was used to track location of cyclist. GSM modules was used to send SOS message if there has an accident happened on cyclist. At the first, NI myRIO-1900 initialized the state of the GPS signal. After initializing, NI myRIO-1900 received the signal from magnetic sensor and heart rate sensor. After receiving all of the signals from those sensors, the data was uploaded to the GUI in LabVIEW and the web interface that run by Ubidots. The parameters such as speed, heart rate, distance travel and power were displayed on the GUI and Ubidots for cyclist to monitor their condition of body during cycling. The S.O.S button was installed on the bicycle. If the cyclist is in dangerous situation, cyclist can press this button to send the emergency signal to police or the person that is important to them.
