ArtCC / Moto-Crash-Project a Work in Progress by Arturo Carretero Calvo (ArtCC) with code on github.com. is a Real time Detection of Accidents: Reporting and Messaging System Moto-Crash,when finished will be an application layer built upon a Real time Data Collection System. Moto-Crash uses a hardware platform based on the LinkIt ONE development board, which is an open source, high-performance board for prototyping Wearables and IoT devices. It's based on the world's leading SoC for Wearables, MediaTek Aster (MT2502) combined with high-performance Wi-Fi (MT5931) and GPS (MT3332) chipsets to provide you with access to all the features of MediaTek LinkIt. It also provides similar pin-out features to Arduino boards, making it easy for you to connect to various sensors, peripherals, and Arduino shields. The full description of the hardware may be found here and on the subsequent links. https://github.com/ArtCC/Moto-Crash-Project ArtCC provides a good starting...

Auto theft reduction The Internet of Things will offer devices that make tracking a cycle and the resulting theft prevention far easier at a low cost. They will come bundled with lower cost theft insurance. We must begin by understanding the problem: 45,000 motorcycles stolen in the USA last year. 5,000 in the Philippines. This is a good introduction to the problem of motorcycle theft. Motorcycle Theft
Introduction to IOTA Strategies.
The Tangle from IOTA https://www.iota.org/ claims to be superior way to build permissionless Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). While there have been some who dispute these claims, https://aakilfernandes.github.io/whats-wrong-with-iota nonetheless it is worthwhile to explore what a protocol that can do what IOTA claims might gain us. Two major IOTA claims are No cost microtransactions Huge scalability Clearly these are desirable properties. The Internet of Things (IOT) will consist of literally billions of small embedded sensor systems. Each of these is essentially a store that sells a data stream that needs to store that data in a DLT and charge microfees for its usage. So we note that IOT is the perfect candidate for such a protocol. Companies, for example Libelium produces sensor network kits https://www.the-iot-marketplace.com/solutions for a wide variety of applications. These kits can be configured ...
