The problem of disorderly parking of electric bikes or bicycles
In recent years,the dominance of shared bicycles has shifted to shared electric bikes and motorcycles.Aside from issues such as limited parking spots,frequent vehicle malfunctions,restricted operational areas,short battery life,and unregulated fees that have garnered public criticism,the phenomenon of disorderly parking,similar to the chaotic period of shared bicycles,has emerged and significantly impacted urban aesthetics,citizen safety,and the overall civilized image of cities.
The disorderly parking of shared electric bikes is attributed to the varied behavior of users,but primarily due to inadequate management by companies or a lack of effective technological means to guide or constrain users in proper parking.In addressing these challenges and aiding shared electric bikes companies in overcoming obstacles to their development,OMNI IoT has introduced a comprehensive standardized parking solution.This solution not only meets regulatory requirements for the shared mobility industry but also significantly reduces the technological development costs for operating companies.
High precision gps module+Vertical Parking Dual Technology
The core principle of applying Beidou(BDS)to shared electric bikes involves equipping the smart bike lock with a Beidou positioning chip.Achieving sub-meter level high-precision positioning utilizes Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) technology.RTK,also known as Carrier-Phase Differential technology,involves long-term observation by ground-based satellite positioning system base stations to obtain ionospheric and tropospheric error data.This data is then broadcast to terminal devices near the base station,which use algorithms to correct errors,resulting in high-precision positioning.
OMNI IoT's high-precision positioning technology employs the Beidou system to achieve standardized parking through"point-to-point return."This is facilitated by the GPS functionality,in conjunction with high-precision sensors such as the built-in magnetometer and gyroscope,which can determine the vehicle's parking location,orientation,and vertical angle relative to the road.Successful return is only recognized when the vehicle is fully parked within the designated area and is vertically aligned with the road edge.
Parking Beacon Technology
OMNI IoT's Parking Beacon product incorporates more precise positioning technology through Bluetooth communication.This further optimizes electronic fence positioning technology and provides the government with shared electric scooter parking area planning suggestions based on extensive travel data.It addresses inaccuracies in GPS positioning and the issues of disorderly parking.
Parking Beacon emits Bluetooth signals,and vehicles can only return when they receive the Bluetooth information broadcast by Parking Beacon.Otherwise,returning outside the designated area is not permitted,with an error margin of less than 2 meters.
This solution utilizes OMNI IoT's independently developed 4G smart bike lock or IoT devices,capable of real-time data collection from the vehicle,controller,Battery Management System(BMS),sensors,etc.In addition to high-precision positioning and vertical parking functions,it also supports features such as rear wheel lock,battery lock,helmet lock,intelligent voice,etc.,thereby quickly meeting the diverse needs of customers.
While the shared electric scooter industry is thriving,it still faces numerous challenges requiring urgent solutions.The sustainable development of the industry depends not only on user acceptance and policy support but also on continuous"leveling up"by companies.Currently,aside from industry giants and some powerful companies,many smaller brands lack research and development capabilities,operating cautiously amid the trend towards homogeneous product services and strict policy regulations.Any slight mistake could lead to the risk of being phased out.
Now,with more standardized and comprehensive technological means,the issues of disorderly and unauthorized parking that hinder urban governance can be significantly alleviated.In other words,after addressing these core issues,the shared electric scooter industry may be reevaluated.In the future,shared electric scooters will transform"policy resistance"into"driving force,"continuing to demonstrate their vast market value.
