This paper presents an automatic side stand retractor to ensure the
safety of the motorcycle. Many motorcycle accidents take place due to
the wrong position of side stand. The automatic side stands retractor
prevents the starting of the motorcycle for ensuring safety. The
proposed system uses an embedded controller, reed switch sensor,
permanent magnet, buzzer and relay. The embedded controller detects the
position of side stand using a reed sensor and a permanent magnet
attached to it. Then embedded controller breaks the ignition circuit of
the motorcycle using a relay in case of the wrong position of the side
stand. A buzzer makes a sound to notify the rider to retract the side
stand. This system is tested in motorcycle and the obtained result shows
the effectiveness of the system for the safety of the motorcycle. The
device not only ensure the safety of the driver but also ensure the
mobility of the whole system of the motorcycle.
