More than a billion of bicycles are present in the world. Millions are stolen every year. In this project, we are working on a solution to this problem which we call KISSMYBIKE. It is a new advanced anti-theft system designed specifically for bicycles. The core service provided by our system is the theft detection and tracking of bicycle location. In contrast to existing solutions, the KISSMYBIKE tracking device is invisible, charge-less, accurate and affordable. It features ultra-compact robust design that allows installing it into a bicycle construction and hiding it from hand and eye. The combination of smart adaptive algorithms and energy efficient electronics enables several years of operation on a single charge. The system comprises cutting edge satellite and mobile technologies in order to accurately track a bicycle location in different conditions in the event of theft. In addition to the tracking service, we introduce theft prevention services which include safety level estimation and parking recommendations. Moreover, we assist bicycle owners in a legal retrieval process by providing them with emergency numbers, locations of the nearest police stations, and necessary bicycle identification information for police reports. Open cloud-based FIWARE infrastructure is intensively used in order to build a scalable and a cost-effective solution.
