Development of A Quickshifter Module Using Arduino UNO As A Replacement For Motorcycle Clutch Components
Main Article Content
Abstract
The development of this quickshifter module represents an advancement in motorcycle automotive technology, specifically for manual transmission systems, and is implemented using a combination of Arduino Uno and the C++ programming language. The objective of this study is to enable riders to shift gears without the need to engage the clutch or release the throttle. The benefits for riders include increased comfort, improved efficiency, and the ability to maintain engine acceleration during gear shifts. This research focuses on the application of the C++ language in the development of the quickshifter module. The study follows the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) method, which is divided into four stages. The results of this research show that the engine does not stall during gear shifts, and there is a reduction of 550 milliseconds in shifting time while the vehicle is in motion. Additionally, the system improves rider comfort by reducing physical strain, especially in heavy traffic or congested road conditions.
