dc.description.abstract	Biking is a widely popular sport that people enjoy. Yet outdoor cycling can be challenging especially in Palestine due to many obstacles like bad weather, dangerous roads, safety concerns triggered by occupation, or simply not feeling like going outside. BikeEmulator is an enhanced bike that combines sport and entertainment, it provides the user with a complete outdoor cycling experience, but from the comfort of their home or a preferred location, featuring integrated drive emulation technology. Our objectives for this project include enhancing the enjoyment of biking activities, enabling indoor cycling experiences, and delivering a complete outdoor riding experience. We began the process with a normal bike that we fixed using a base we designed, connecting the bike to sensors, actuators and a controller. Using the readings from them we managed to make the experience more realistic. Laser and LDR sensors are used to determine the speed of the bike, another sensor is used to detect the direction of the steering, stepper motors are used to control break and Shift cables, and for more realistic experience, a fan on the bike will blow air on the biker manually or based on the surrounding temperature. The user will ride it like a normal bike, the actions performed will be mirrored into the drive simulation, data will be displayed on LCD screen for the user to view, it includes heart rate and the time spent playing. From a keypad the user can select the preferred play mode, there’s also a flashlight feature if the bicycle detects dim lighting. Combining drive simulation with stationary gym bikes already exists, but it doesn’t provide a full experience like ours. In our bike, the user has the ability to steer left and right in the simulation, in addition to controlling braking actions.
