Abstract

In order to deter bike thieves, we have designed and implemented a theft prevention system for bicycles based on RFID technology. Bikes can be stored in areas monitored by custom designed base stations without the need for visual or contact identification. The system is implemented with Web of Things technology, using a RESTful and a streaming server API, to facilitate communication between the embedded electronics and the back end service. The system is tested by deploying RFID technology in several environments to determine the viability of the platform.
