Result and Discussion
The device is successfully tested in real life and the device works
perfectly. A figure in shown in Fig. 8 where the device is
shown connected in a motorbike. The operating time of the relay is fast
enough. It is seen that if the stand is in the vertical position, then
the bike does not start. As soon as the stand is retracted to horizontal
position, then the rider is able to start the bike. If the bike starts
and runs in road, then if we suddenly intentionally push the stand down
(To vertical position) in running condition, instantly the motorcycle
turns off and the buzzer sounds (in the middle of a road).
The system is connected with the motorcycle battery and only operates
when the motorcycle power supply is turned on with a key. The power
consumption by the system is tested in laboratory and the following
results are found. Ideally there in no power loss in the reed switch as
it is just one type of contact.
When the side stand is in horizontal
position:
When the sensor senses that the side stand is in the correct position
then there is no power in the relay and buzzer unit. Only embedded
controller itself draws power. Table I and II shows
the power drawn in proper and wrong position during the ignition and
normal stands.
