Preamble

Motorcycling is a top 10 sport in G8 countries and according to 'Ontario’s Southwest Motorcycle Tourism Report', motorcycle tourism is identified as a significant contributor to tourism spending in Ontario and representing an important local economic impact. In Canada alone, motorcycle industry and tourism contributes 5 billion dollars to the economy. Motorbike users, however, are exposed to much higher risk. Especially there is no telemetry data is available to them even to report their location in case of an accident.

Objective

The objective is to develop a telemetry system for motorbike riders that would be easy to replicate in order that all motorcycle enthusiasts may have one in their motorbike.

Partial Specifications

This telemetry system shall be able to get the following information about the rider:
Speed [Km/h]
GPS Position (Latitude/Longitude)
Satellite information (Sat number, Hdop)
Altitute [meters]
Lean Angle
Wheelie Angle
G Acceleration in the 3 axes [m/s^2]
External Temperature [°C]
Back Tyre Temperature [°C]
Front Shock Absorber [cm]
Back Shock Absorber [cm]

Suggested Approach

Use the approach similar to what is suggested in https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/lentzlive/my-motorbike-telemetry-c73c0f?ref=platform&ref_id=424_popular__advanced_&offset=32

Don't exactly repeat that work. Have your own version.
