Abstracts: It is User Defined Project (UDP) on the topic ‘Indicator device for gear shifting on automobiles’. It’s a common problem that at the time of learning to drive a gear vehicle, it is difficult for every person to shift gear at right time. They may shift gear very early or very late. This affects the efficiency of the engine and is a tedious job for the beginners and also affects engine life.By studying various researches and patents, several ways have been found by which proper guidance can be given to a rider during his ride. The device that had been constructed, helps the riders to shift gears at the right time without any problem.At present, automatic gear shifting is present but it is only available for luxury and costly cars which is major problem for middle and lower class people to afford.Hence certain methods have been tried and applied for measuring RPM. The data we receive is then sent to microcontroller, in which a special program is already fed, which will give audio and visual signals to shift gear up or down according the conditions of ride.
