Mobike has built more than 4,000 smart parking spots across the country, and IoT technology solves the problem of random parking

According to news on August 3, 36 Krypton recently learned that Mobike has launched the first smart parking solution in the shared bike industry - Mobike Smart Parking Point, which comprehensively uses innovative technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data and artificial intelligence to guide and encourage Civilized and standardized parking will improve user experience while maintaining good travel order and city appearance.

36Kr learned that Mobike Smart Parking Point is a new upgrade of "Mobike Recommended Parking Point (MPL)". It continues the classic orange and black design of Mobike bicycles; an integrated solar power supply system is installed on the top, which can run continuously for a long time without additional power supply; it has built-in intelligent wireless signal transmission technology and precise positioning algorithm, which can sensitively detect and judge nearby bicycles. Parking quantity and status are transmitted and exchanged in real time with Mobike’s big data artificial intelligence platform “Rubik’s Cube”.

In addition to the eye-catching signs of Mobike smart parking spots on the street, users can also find their locations through the mobile APP: Update the Mobike APP to version v5.4.0 or above, click the "P" icon on the map to view The location, distance and current parking number of smart parking spots.

Xia Yiping, co-founder and CTO of Mobike, said that when a user drives a Mobike into a smart parking spot and locks it, the Mobike smart parking spot can automatically establish end-to-end security data through a self-developed IoT protocol. Transmit links, collect vehicle status data, communicate with the cloud backend system in two-way, and update the real-time parking point information on the APP to facilitate more users to find cars and park. In addition, users who regulate parking may also receive free riding coupons and other rewards.    

Xia Yiping said that Mobike had pre-embedded Bluetooth communication modules for smart parking spots in its products very early on, and had pre-embedded the technology. Through the interoperability of its own network, it can better manage bicycles and better regulate user behavior. Mobike smart parking spots have received strong support from urban planning and management departments, communities, enterprises and other institutions in many places. The first batch of more than 4,000 parking spots has been put into use, distributed in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xi'an, Tianjin, Nanjing and Chengdu and other major cities across the country. In the future, Mobike plans to work with more government departments and partners to build smart parking spots in more cities at home and abroad to promote the sustainable development of the shared bicycle industry.

In the past year, the shared bicycle industry represented by Mobike has developed rapidly and has become the third largest mode of travel in the city after buses and subways, solving the "last mile" travel problem for residents. But at the same time, the phenomenon of uncivilized parking of shared bicycles caused by a small number of users has also attracted attention from all walks of life. Mobike actively uses a variety of technologies and operation and maintenance methods, and always advocates safe bicycle use, civilized riding, and orderly parking, and practices corporate social responsibility while continuously improving services.

It is reported that Mobike already has an efficient and professional offline operation and maintenance team, has established a vehicle life cycle management system, and promptly handles random parking and vehicle accumulation; and comprehensively uses technical means such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence. , to improve the efficiency of offline operation and maintenance management; the industry took the lead in establishing a user "credit score" system to restrict uncivilized car use. The smart parking spots launched today are Mobike’s innovative solutions to the problem of random parking of shared bicycles. While serving users, they also provide new management ideas for municipal departments.
