Desarrollo de dispositivo IoT para la evaluación de rendimiento energético, a partir de la adquisición y procesamiento de datos de: trayectoria, velocidad, cadencia y potencia de bicicletas eléctricas de la Universidad de Cuenca

Abstract

This work addresses the issue of energy consumption in electric bicycles and its impact on sustainable mobility. The goal is to develop a device for acquiring and processing sensor data from electric bicycles. The study reviews the state of the art in IoT devices for electric bicycles, the design and implementation of a data acquisition device, and the configuration of a Cloud IoT platform for storing and visualizing this data. The methodology is based on selecting and integrating sensors, developing software for IoT devices (ESP32), Thingsboard, and Android, designing a PCB for component interconnection, and configuring Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS communications. The use of ESP32, NEO 6M GPS module, and ACS712 current sensor allowed obtaining reliable measurements. Results were validated by comparison with reference instruments and commercial devices, demonstrating accuracy. This work develops an IoT device for acquiring and processing data on ECOMOVE TIV electric bicycles from the Micro-Grid Laboratory at the University of Cuenca. The results validate the device’s accuracy and enable the analysis of energy efficiency. This work lays the foundation for future research in electric bicycles and energy consumption optimization.
