This use case is about Scooter IoT device equipped on electric scooters and make e-scooters imtelligent in university so that students can
rent the vehicles easily.This is a sustainable,convenient transportation in university environments where students and faculty need quick,
affordable ways yo move acroos sprawling campuses.
When our customer did launch this electric scooter rental projects in university,he faced serveral challenges.
Scooters fleet managers and operators are worried if there're too much theft and vandalism if no labor management.How does e-scooter
perform if IoT device(built-in IoT smart electric scooter lock)supports real-time navigation and tracking?Students expect seamless access to
scooters with minimal friction,what rental e-scooters can do?The vehicles are launched in university which means the project must aligh with
the university's environmental goals.
To solve these kind of problems,we do need a reliable,secure,and scalable IoT solution to overcome these challenges and provide a frictionless
experience for bot the administation and end-users.
Our customers choose scooter iot which we call smart e-scooter locks with Bluetooth and 4G.By using IoT device,students unlock and lock
scooters after registered on specific mobile APP designed for rental project.Our customers can track all vehicles in real-time to ensure the security
of the fleet.
By mobile applications and back-end management platform,the scooter ride share companies can monitor the entire fleet from a single
dashboard,giving insights into scooter locations,use patterns,and battery status.If some problems happened,such as firmware updates of
smart electric scooter lock needed,we can finish it on platform.
As for students expect seamless access to rental scooters,OMNI’s scooter rental app allowed students and staff to easily locate,reserve,
and unlock scooters with a few taps.Payment options were integrated,it fits for worldwide customers which can fit for local payment tools(paypal,mastercard,visa,apple pay,google pay,etc.).
Sustainability Insights: OMNI's platform tracked and displayed environmental benefits,such as reduced CO2 emissions and fuel savings.
The university used this data to report progress on its sustainability goals.
Results of university e-scooter rental project
After six months of deployment,the university saw impressive outcomes:
Increased Adoption:More than 80%of students and staff regularly used the e-scooter service.
Cost Reduction:The real-time fleet management feature minimized maintenance costs by identifying issues before they became costly repairs.
Enhanced Security:The smart locks and GPS tracking drastically reduced theft and vandalism incidents.
Positive Environmental Impact:The university achieved its goal of reducing carbon emissions and reported savings equivalent to 50 tons
of CO2 over the project period.
This successful case demonstrates the transformative impact of OMNI’s smart urban mobility solutions in educational environments and beyond.
