Back to the Future: Developing an On-Board System for a Vintage Motorcycle

Abstract

This paper describes complex design of a prototypeof an on-board system for older motorcycle for measuring itsoperational characteristics. The birth of the idea is described,followed by explanation of characteristics measured by thesystem, principles of their measurement, and processing the datafor visualization on a display. The system is designed with theaim of the most minimal intervention into the construction ofthe motorcycle, but being easy to reproduce and durable enoughfor a real deployment and use while riding the motorcycle.
