Automated Dockless Bike Powered By IoT & Bluetooth Integrated App Can Be The Future Of Urbanism

About Client

The client is based in the USA and came up with the unique idea of creating an Uber like sensation using electric scooter without any manual intervention. The internet connected vehicle could be the next big thing in the local transport. These dockless scooters are undoubtedly an asset in moving more people towards sustainable electric transportation. The client seeks a highly advanced and quite scalable mobile application armed with IoT and Bluetooth low energy integration.

About Product

This application can be a big leap on local transport, any user searching for a scooter, gets the status of nearby Scooter point on his app. To start a ride, user needs to scan the QR code placed on the scooter and then it gets authenticated with online server. The mobile application will communicate to scooter hardware using BLE to unlock it, by adopting this process we have developed a very secure ride experience. Track your ride using GPS device integrated in scooter, adaptive ride cost calculation and complete history of rides make the riding experience smooth.

The Scooter uses automated lock-up, once the ride ends. The solution also provide monetization to user by feature called 'charger' which enables the user to earn by registering as a charger, the duty of charger will be

Security Issues And Misuse Prevention

Challenge: Hardware Integration & Application

The integration of the mobile application with the device in the scooter, exchange of data with the scooter and the app was the primary challenge. Also, the client asked for the connectivity to be sleek and in real time.

Solution:

The use of IoT and Bluetooth Low Energy(BLE) integration by the Brainvire team made the connectivity of scooter device and application as per demand. Bluetooth works well even in weaker internet signal areas.

Challenge: Large Live Data & Application Performance

A very large pool of data gets collected on the server. A single ride generates a good amount of data that needs to be interchanged with a user application, device, and server. For all real-time tracking to past riding, history depends on data-interchange.

Solution:

This challenge is resolved by using scalable AWS architecture-based server so that it will adept as many user requests coming to the server. Performance of the application gets smoother after AWS configuration.

Challenge: Huge Amount Of Scooter & Customer Data

A very huge amount of Customer and Scooter data will be accumulated.The Customer’s personalized data and the data of the Scooter, like Battery status to Number of rides completed. Every single information needs to be presented seamlessly.

Solution:

Brainvire team used AWS architecture-based structure to handle this huge pool of Data.This made the application highly scalable, secure, internet-of-things processing and fast responsive.

Challenge: Misuse of e-Scooter

The Security check and prevention of misuse created a challenge that needed to be tackled by the automated application. The application must handle the issues arose by no manual intervention.

Solution:

Setting an alarm in case of the system or the scooter is tempered is configured in the system. The in-built guidelines and rulebook serve as a preventive measure.
