E-WheelShare: An IoT-Based Bicycle Sharing System Prototype for University of Cebu

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of an IoT-based bicycle-sharing system designed to promote sustainable transportation within the University of Cebu campuses. Recognizing the increasing demand for eco-friendly and efficient transportation options in educational institutions, this project integrates IoT technologies and cloud data analytics to manage and monitor bicycle availability, usage, and maintenance in real-time. The prototype provides a user-friendly solution accessible via a mobile application, allowing students and staff to locate, rent, and return bicycles easily. The research aims to assess the feasibility, usability, and impact of such a system in enhancing campus mobility, reducing carbon emissions, and fostering a healthier, more sustainable campus environment. Findings from this study will inform future developments in campus mobility solutions and contribute to the growing body of research on sustainable transportation in educational institutions.
