Executive Summary
The Saluki Engineering Company (SEC) has designed and completed a functioning
prototype of a Clicker Activated Bicycle Lock (CABL) at the request of client Frances
Harackiewicz. When designing; size, weight, durability, and safety were taken into account.
The CABL is small, lightweight, and has a removable locking mechanism for safety.
The CABL has 7 subsystems that were to be designed and constructed. These
subsystems are: power, control, tracking, locking mechanism, accelerometer (sensor), RF
transmitter/receiver and alarm. The subsystems were then found to be filled by a pre-constructed
component or designed to fully fit our requirements and constructed into a working model.
When compared to other bicycle locks this is a one of a kind design. We have combined
the simplicity of activating and deactivating electronic security measures along with mechanical
locking capabilities by clicking a button on a key fob. There are other combinations of electrical
and mechanical mechanisms for securing bicycles but this product would allow for personal use
where as all of the products on the market today are not portable and therefore only usable for
uses such as rental services.
The production cost of the CABL was found to be approximately $276.07, see appendix
_ for cost breakdown, based on the recommended vendors and excluding labor costs. Using this
design report the CABL can be fully constructed with a part time staff of four within five weeks
time which includes ordering and waiting on parts.
