ABSTRACT
This project titled as Automatic Gear Shifting Mechanism for Two wheelers. This is a fabrication and implementation project. The project provides solution for gear shifting for the Bikes. The passenger bikes that now ply on the road have transmission of manual type of gear changing. The manual type of transmission is preferred for the perfect performance without a loss in power but a compromise for comfortless. In this type manual system of power transmission there is easiness of gear shifting but there is a definite loss of power and mileage. The main objective of this project is to create a mechanism to reduce the inconvenience caused when changing gears in the bikes. The gear shifting is achieved by a simple modification to the gear box. This is a versatile pack, simple and can be fitted to any bikes. Moreover the whole set up is small and requires a very small space. This can sure be a standard fitment if proper marketing strategy is carried out. The main purpose of this project is used to automate the gear changing mechanism in vehicles. In this project we are doing the gear changing mechanism using with the help of sensors & actuators. This is very useful for the gear changing mechanism in automobile vehicles.

CHAPTER-I

INTRODUCTION
The paper deals with the real time project, Automatic Gear Shifting Mechanism for Two wheelers which was done in the academic year 2012- 2013. This project is aimed at giving driver the convenience for gear shifting & better performance. The bike with this project will have a stepper motor, microcontroller & sensors.

The clutch operation may or may not be put in the bike depending on the user. The power for gear shifting is got from stepper motor. The power for stepper motor is from the battery. So a bike with a battery fitment can be easily adaptable to this project. The project has been started as a concept and it requires a lot more work to be done to put in a bike.

CHAPTER-II

PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION

Whenever a project is carried out there is a reason behind it. The existing bikes now pose some problems for the drivers. In the Manual Transmission, bikes the main problem for the drivers is the gear shifting. But the engineering concept behind this type of transmission paves way for higher power transmission efficiency. More over the mileage of the bikes and life is also more. These bikes do not give much of comfortless for the drivers in the terms of using the gear lever and the clutch. These are the problems in the Manual Transmission bikes.

CHAPTER-IV

WORKING
In this project we fixed a stepper motor for the gear engagement. The stepper motor is coupled with the gear selector rod. The stepper motor is operated by the help of electric supply and its controlled by the control unit. The control unit is nothing but the micro-controller, a small chip that is preprogrammed and feed in the chip for working of our project. The motor working (rotates) for the increase the gear speed and to decrease the gear speed. The second working of the project is clutch. The clutch is operated for electrical power from the battery. And it is controlled by the electronic control module. According to the speed of the vehicle, gear is engaged and dis engaged. For determining the speed of the vehicle a speed sensors is placed in front wheel. The sensor senses the speed & transfers the signal to the control unit, as per the program the control unit actuates the stepper motor and clutch.
