In this context, the Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) system, widely adopted in the automotive sector, represents a critical technological milestone. These systems have offered many advantages such as increased fuel efficiency, reduced operating costs, and increased user comfort in motor vehicles by automating traditional manual transmissions through advanced electronic components and actuators, and have thus gained wide acceptance in the sector. Despite this proven success in the automotive industry, the applicability of a similar system in bicycles remains an under-researched area, which constitutes a significant gap in the development of technological innovations in the bicycle industry. This study presents the development of an innovative gear-shifting system that automates the traditional manual gear-shifting process on bicycles with an intelligence-based system. The system, which autonomously determines optimal gear shifts by processing data obtained from sensors and implements these decisions with an integrated actuator mechanism, enables manual transmission bicycles to be practically converted to automatic transmission. Notable for its compact design, low cost, and user-friendly assembly, this system also optimizes performance and comfort by offering multiple driving modes that dynamically adapt to user preferences or changing riding conditions. The developed system has been integrated into a manual transmission bicycle and thoroughly tested, with its ability to perform automatic gear shifts with high accuracy scientifically proven.}, number={2}, publisher={Gazi University}
