Today,we would talk about examples of practical applications of IoT devices for mobility.And today we would talk about urban mobility.
Urban mobility means the efficiency and ease with which people and goods move within a city,often involving public transportation,road
networks,and pedestrian pathways.Smart vehicles are one of urban mobility cases and become more and more popular.
What role do IoT devices play in smart vehicles?Today,we will list three practical application cases.
Enhancing Vehicle Security and Management with IoT Trackers
One practical application case is a four-wheel sightseeing vehicle,which can also be applied to golf carts and three-wheel electric vehicles.
IoT device,often referred to as IoT tracker (since many people may not be familiar with the term"IoT devices"),offer unique IoT functionalities
compared to the already mature GPS trackers on the market.In addition to real-time positioning,IoT trackers can collect vehicle location data,
track trajectories,monitor battery levels,and report vehicle status to a server.Once the server receives this information,it relays it to a vehicle
tracker app.This ensures the safety of your vehicle,as even if it is stolen,the IoT device's positioning and trajectory tracking functions can help
locate the missing vehicle.
Streamlining Vehicle Rental with IoT Scan-to-Unlock and Automated Charging
Moreover,if we want to rent out the vehicle,how do we charge for it?What should the rental period be?How do we ensure that users return
the vehicle according to the rules?IoT devices can fully address these issues.They enable scan-to-unlock/lock functionality.When a user wants
to rent our vehicle,as long as the IoT device is equipped with scan-to-unlock/lock features and integrated with the vehicle tracker app,we
can monitor the vehicle's location and usage.Based on the set pricing standards,once the vehicle is returned to the designated location,the system
will automatically charge the user.
Ensuring Designated Parking with IoT and Bluetooth Anchors
You might wonder,why can't users park the vehicle anywhere they want?This is where IoT devices play a powerful role.By integrating with
an auxiliary product called parking beacon,if the user does not park in the designated location,the IoT device will upload the vehicle's
information.The vehicle tracker app,upon receiving this information,will not issue a lock command or stop charging.Instead,it will notify the
user of the specific parking location.This way,the user understands that there is a designated parking area.
The functionalities mentioned above are not only applicable to four-wheel sightseeing vehicles,golf carts,and three-wheel electric vehicles
but can also be used for electric bikes,bicycles,and electric scooters.These applications across different vehicle types already exceed three
practical examples.Next time,we will continue to share more detailed use cases of IoT devices.
