As part of my first year engineering course, myself and 3 others developed a smart bike lock. This bike lock has multiple levels of protection, specifically focusing on prevention of bike theft as opposed to a reaction to bike theft. It featured an accelerometer-based motion detector, that would trigger an alarm if there was too much movement. This was implemented to deter the theif before they could successfully cut through it. On top of that, there is also a circuit connected around the outer surface of the loop around the lock that would trigger the alarm if broken, which would indicate that the outer layer of the lock had been cut. We presented this as our final presentation for the class, and were told by the professor to look into pursuing a patent for our device.
