Motorcycle theft remains a significant security issue in Indonesia, creating the need for a vehicle security system that supports real-time monitoring, tracking, and remote control. This study develops an Internet of Things (IoT)-based motorcycle security system that combines location tracking, remote engine cut-off, vibration detection, and battery condition monitoring in a single platform. The proposed system uses an ESP32 microcontroller integrated with a Neo-M8N GPS module for location acquisition, a SIM800L GSM module for communication, and Google Firebase for data storage and synchronization. A mobile application developed using MIT App Inventor allows users to monitor vehicle conditions and send remote engine control commands. The GPS evaluation resulted in an average horizontal positioning error of 3.084 m. The communication performance showed an average delay of 3.21 s for GSM transmission and 1100.6 ms for Firebase synchronization. Meanwhile, the remote engine cut-off mechanism achieved an average response time of approximately 4 s, with the maximum delay reaching 6 s due to communication and relay response limitations. The results indicate that the proposed system can provide an integrated approach for motorcycle monitoring and security applications. However, communication latency and relay response time remain important limitations that need to be considered, particularly for safety-related applications.
