2 Resulting on more vehicles on our infrastructures As of 2012, the Australian motor vehicle fleet had 16.7 million registered vehicles compared to 14.8 million in 2007 - increase of 13.3% - passenger vehicles 11,462 400 – 12,714 235 increase of 10.9% - Motor cycles 511,966 – 709 288 increase of 38.5% Vehicles are becoming more affordable and readily accessible compared to 10years ago. According to the Bureau of Statistics website

3 Don’t you hate it, when you find this and the fuel light is showing ? Traffic on the Southern Expressway. Picture: Simon Cross Source: The Advertiser

4 There is a new technology being implemented in hybrid cars to help you relax a bit, to get to the petrol station There is a new technology being implemented in hybrid cars to help you relax a bit, to get to the petrol station

5 “Development of a Fuel Saving Start and Stop System for two wheelers” Project Title ;

6 Why for two wheelers, you may be asking? Three main reasons Don't always have room They use Petrol Produce CO 2

7 How is it going to work Switch Speed sensor ECU (microcontroller) Throttle sensor - Position sensor - Gyroscope Sensors

8 Speed sensor ECU Mode Activation Switch Throttle sensor Engine Start Engine Stop Key Position

9 Drawbacks Budget of $200 Not having an electric start Being manual Not being roadworthy

10 What have I been doing so far Ownership Survey Solutions

11 What do I aim to achieve Develop the Start & Stop System Save fuel

12 How do I plan on doing this  Project Planning. Type of bike  Project Definition. Aims to achieve  Conceptual Design. To find what works best with what  Product Development. Putting my designs into practice  Testing. Measuring fuel before and after
