Diseño y construcción de un prototipo de seguridad para parqueadero de bicicletas, basado en la red celular.

Abstract

The current research was aimed to design and build a security prototype for bicycle parking based on the cellular network. The prototype includes five blocks with specific functions: sensor block, actuator block, control block, storage, and monitoring block. Firstly, the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor and HC-SR501 motion sensor were implemented in the sensor block. The actuator block was made up of an audible alarm and an electronic lock; these elements are in charge of reading information about the parking cycle events and delivering this information to the control block. In the control block, the Arduino mega and the GSM SIM900 module were incorporated, all the programming was carried out in the Arduino mega. The Thingspeak Platform established the storage block in the free public service cloud. The mobile application is carried out in the monitoring block, which was made up of the intelligent terminal with the Android platform; this app is in communication with the IoT platform where all the functions were programmed to interact with the users with the parking cycle. Once the system was designed, installed, and tested in the cycle-parking lot, it is concluded that through the cellular network by using a SIM900 module, the average response times of the Thingspeak server are 47.97ms practical and 3.32ms theoretical, with which the established requirements are met. It is recommended to expand the prototype's functionalities by incorporating new options such as an IP camera, specific actuators, and solar panels.
