Some central urban areas of Beijing have begun to require shared bicycles to be parked in designated road marking areas [1]. If you park at will outside the designated parking area, a dispatch fee ranging from 2-5 yuan will be charged. After 3 violations, if you don't park in the marked area, you will not be able to settle - that is, even if you are locked, you have to lift the car to the marked area. This can not help but remind people of the painful experience of looking for piles all over the street when there were no such dockless bicycles. Municipal public bicycles are almost always of the pile type, which means that the problem of parking difficulties is more acute. A few years ago, I lived near the Lama Temple.
I wanted to lock the phone number list car when I came home at night. Sometimes I had to ride two more outlets, stop and walk back for one kilometer. The rates of municipal public bicycles are generally lower, and cities such as Beijing are free for the first hour. As Mobike, Xiaolan, and Hello are getting more and more expensive, dockless may be the only relative advantage of third-party bicycles. And once the New Deal is implemented, these survivors who have finally found a break-even point will have to suffer another heavy blow. The problem of indiscriminate parking of shared bicycles has been around for a long time. Why do the regulatory authorities think that it is an appropriate time to carry out "parking in the stalls" now? technology At the latest in the spring of 2017, the question of whether shared bicycles should be parked in zones has begun to spark industry discussions. At that time, the author wrote [2] to describe the practices of mainstream manufacturers.
Ofo, which also focuses on mechanical password locks, performs "pseudo-positioning" through the cyclist's mobile app. Mobike’s cars already have GPS, but there are always cars out of power or locked in a certain community. For this reason, Mobike marks the cars that have not been used for a long time as “red envelopes” to mobilize the masses to realize vehicle resources. deployment. Bike operators take an 'opportunistic' approach to managing their vehicles, but there's always a limit to the human trick. In 2017, the design and application technology of bicycles are relatively basic. Ofo on the market is mainly based on mechanical combination lock models, and it is impossible to achieve precise positioning such as drawing white lines. In fact, there are also bicycle brands on the market that advertise more accurate virtual fences, but the cost is relatively high.
