Abstract—The need for creative mobility solutions has been brought to light in recent years by the rising demand for environmentally friendly and sustainable transportation within educational institutions. This study presents a smart campus bike rental system that uses a web-based application to let students rent and return bicycles. The system uses Firebase as a real-time database to manage user authentication, bicycle availability, and rental status updates, and it uses a React.js-based frontend interface for user interaction. The solution incorporates an RFID-based automated locking mechanism at the hardware level, which is managed by an ESP8266 Wi-Fi module and an Arduino microcontroller.by automating the rental process, guaranteeing safe bicycle access, and providing real-time status monitoring, the project seeks to reduce the amount of human intervention. Students can quickly log in, check out the bikes that are available at specific stands, and unlock loops through their gadgets. Returning the bicycle to any stand after the ride is over activates the RFID-based locking mechanism, which updates the database to mark the bike as available once more. The end-to-end system architecture, implementation process, hardware-software integration, and system performance evaluation using real-world testing scenarios are all described in this paper.The findings show that the system is scalable, dependable, and easy to use; it may find use in other corporate or closed-campus settings. In order to further improve functionality and user experience, future improvements like GPS-based tracking, the creation of mobile applications, and the integration of digital payments are also suggested. In line with the goal of sustainable and digital campuses, this research aids in the creation of intelligent transportation systems.
