An Energy Management System for e-Bikes

Energy and carbon issue have gained a lot of attention in recent years. However, energy management and services of electric bicycles based on international standards are not very common. This work uses communication standards, including Energybus, MQTT and Bluetooth 4.0 to design an energy management service platform. We implement a system that integrates electric bicycles, smart mobile devices and battery management service platforms. First of all, we use a plug-in Bluetooth gateway developed by ourselves to connect with smartphones. By this way, users can see the battery status instantly through an App of smartphones. And then, we can use the 3G/4G or Wi-Fi networks to store the battery information. Finally, the battery information can be displayed on the battery management service platform and the information can also be used for further analysis.
