Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

The traditional biking industry has predominantly relied on static catalogues and standalone systems for bike monitoring and maintenance. These outdated systems, as discussed by De Magalhães et al. (2021) [4], often fail to meet the evolving demands of modern users. Static catalogues are inherently limited, providing outdated information, minimal interactivity, and no real-time updates. Similarly, standalone monitoring systems lack integration, resulting in fragmented user experiences and inefficiencies in data synchronization. These shortcomings highlight the pressing need for dynamic, integrated platforms that can keep pace with technological advancements and user expectations. Recent studies emphasize the growing demand for platforms that offer real-time data access, seamless interactivity, and compatibility across multiple devices and operating systems. For instance, research by Khan and Hameed (2022) [1]  underscores the transformative potential of IoT-enabled solutions in providing real-time vehicle monitoring and predictive maintenance. Similarly, De Magalhães et al. (2021) [4] highlight the importance of digital catalogues in enhancing user engagement and operational efficiency. Despite these advancements, existing solutions often remain fragmented, failing to provide a unified platform that combines cataloguing, performance tracking, and enhanced security features.

To address these challenges, this research introduces a holistic and innovative solution: the Bike e-Catalogue platform. This platform redefines the biking experience by integrating IoT-based tracking with an immersive digital catalogue, creating a unified system that enhances safety, efficiency, and overall user experience.

While these advancements lay a strong foundation, no single platform has successfully integrated IoT monitoring, digital cataloguing, and AR features tailored specifically to the biking industry. This gap highlights the novelty and necessity of the research proposed here.

By combining the strengths of IoT, AR, and advanced digital cataloguing within a unified framework, this study aims to develop a platform that addresses the specific needs of biking enthusiasts, including performance tracking, security enhancements, and engaging user experiences.

III. RESEARCH GAPS AND DRAWBACKS

A. Identified Challenges

The integration of IoT and digital cataloguing in the biking industry, while promising, is hampered by several limitations and challenges:

1. Static Catalogues: Traditional digital catalogues rely on static information, which lacks real-time updates, dynamic data synchronization, and personalized recommendations. This limits their ability to provide users with relevant, up-to-date content, reducing user engagement and negatively impacting decision-making. For instance, users cannot easily track changing market trends or receive tailored product suggestions based on their preferences.
2. Generic Platforms: Existing solutions are often designed for general use, failing to address specific requirements of bike owners. Features such as performance parameter tracking (e.g., speed, distance, and battery status for electric bikes) and automated maintenance alerts are either absent or insufficiently implemented. This lack of customization detracts from the platform’s relevance to its target audience.
3. IoT Integration: While IoT-based solutions have shown significant potential, their adoption in the biking industry remains limited. The absence of seamless real-time tracking and predictive maintenance features reduces the overall utility of these platforms for bike owners. IoT devices that could monitor and predict wear-and-tear, alerting users before issues arise, are underutilized.
4. User Experience: Many existing platforms fail to provide a consistent and synchronized experience across multiple devices and platforms. This inconsistency creates usability challenges, such as duplicate data entries, fragmented workflows, and difficulty accessing critical information when switching between devices.
5. Security Concerns: Insufficient emphasis on cybersecurity measures, such as protection against data breaches and theft prevention mechanisms, has eroded user trust in current solutions. Users are hesitant to adopt platforms that fail to safeguard sensitive data or provide robust theft-detection systems for their vehicles.

B. Additional Gaps

1. Accessibility: Current platforms often overlook the needs of differently-abled individuals. Features such as voice-activated commands, simplified navigation, and adaptive interfaces are either missing or poorly implemented, limiting inclusivity and accessibility for all users.
2. Third-Party Integration: The lack of integration with fitness tracking apps (e.g., Strava, Fitbit) and smart home ecosystems (e.g., Google Home, Alexa) restricts the versatility of these platforms. Such integrations could enhance user engagement by providing a more connected and holistic experience.
3. Sustainability: Most existing solutions neglect eco-friendly features, which could align the platform with global sustainability goals. For example, incorporating energy-efficient technologies, supporting bike-sharing systems, or promoting sustainable practices through gamification could make the platform more appealing to environmentally conscious users.

C. Addressing These Gaps

This research aims to address these challenges by:

1. Developing dynamic, real-time catalogues with personalized recommendations to enhance engagement.
2. Creating a bike-specific platform with tailored features like performance tracking and automated alerts.
3. Leveraging IoT for real-time tracking and predictive maintenance to improve reliability and convenience.
