Development of a Smart Micro-mobility Rental Platform for Urban and Campus Navigation

Urban residents and students face limited, inefficient, and cumbersome transportation options for short-distance travel. Public transportation lacks flexibility, privately owned vehicles are costly and require ownership management, traditional cycle rentals are inconvenient, and existing scooter sharing solutions are often complex and lacking real-time vehicle management and user-centric features.

A startup or established company aiming to provide eco-friendly, user-friendly micro-mobility rental services via a mobile platform, targeting urban commuters and university campuses.

• Enable quick and easy localizable rental and unlocking of eco-friendly electric micro-mobility units via a mobile application.
• Create an integrated vehicle management system that provides real-time tracking of vehicle locations and battery status.
• Develop a user-friendly interface displaying essential ride information, geolocation, and nearby parking spots.
• Implement a flexible billing system with per-minute charges, subscription plans, and automatic top-up features to enhance user convenience.
• Ensure seamless integration between hardware components (electric units) and the software platform for efficient operation.
• Provide administrative controls for fleet management, vehicle deployment, and system monitoring.

• Real-time vehicle localization and status monitoring (location, battery level)
• Intuitive user interface for locating, unlocking, and paying for electric micro-mobility units
• Bluetooth connectivity enabling voice navigation and vehicle control
• Management dashboard for fleet administrators to track vehicle locations and operational metrics
• Flexible billing module supporting per-minute rates, subscriptions, and auto top-ups
• Parking spot detection and guidance features for easier ride end-point identification

• Hardware device integration with GPS and Bluetooth modules in vehicles
• Payment gateways for billing and subscription management
• Mapping services for localization and parking spot detection
• Real-time vehicle tracking systems

• High system availability to support continuous accessibility
• Performance capable of handling numerous concurrent users with minimal latency
• Security and data privacy compliance for user payment and location data
• Scalability to support fleet expansion and geographical deployment

The implementation of this platform is expected to significantly improve urban micro-mobility by offering users a fun, convenient, and affordable transportation alternative. Anticipated outcomes include faster ride fulfillment, increased user adoption, optimized fleet management, and enhanced operational efficiency, ultimately leading to a higher market share in the micro-mobility sector.
