The final suggested option would be to use variable voltage regulators in stages to down step the

voltage and allow each regulator to dissipate a smaller amount of power. These regulators will

still produce heat, but the regulators will not over heat due to the minimized power dissipation on

each stage. The only complication is that the total power dissipation of the system will increase

and the battery may not stay charged as long during activation. All of the solutions to this

problem involve increase in cost and size to the system but provide safety to the components and

make the system more reliable.

T Tracking (CW)

T-1 Technical Summary

The tracking subsystem is a stand-alone system within the CABL design. It utilizes a

Zoombak A-GPS Universal Locater to obtain a street address that the tracker is located at.

Zoombak’s website provides support for map location, interval tracking, and zoning that adds to

the security of the system. The user first obtains a subscription from Zoombak and registers the

tracker on their website. The user is then allowed to set up areas that the tracker sends warnings

when the tracker enters and leaves the designated area. It also allows the user to activate interval

tracking that allows the user to obtain a location of the tracker at intervals for up to one hour

should the bicycle be stolen. The Zoombak A-GPS track was decided upon due to its user

friendliness when tracking, long battery life (up to six days on standby or 150 locations), as well

as its ability to send warnings if the battery gets low, and when the tracker is powered down the

tracker sends a message containing the trackers location. When the tracker is on the bicycle the

power usage can be offset by the solar panel that may also be used as a reflector for the bicycle.

This makes it possible to use the tracker without worry of the battery dying as quickly as well as

being found due to the camouflaging of the solar panel. The only issues that the Zoombak has
