Bike-share programs protected by high-quality GPS locks

Image
One year in and bike sharing apps are transforming Chinese cities, but oversight and environmental impacts are a concern. Almost one hundred Chinese cities, from Beijing to Lhasa, now have bike-sharing schemes. The bikes, clad in various colours, have GPS trackers and can be unlocked simply by scanning a barcode on the frame with your phone. Some can even be reserved via a phone app. With bike sharing APP, cyclists will be able to reserve a bike from one of seven locations in person, via mobile app or online. The bikes can be used for recreation and convenient transportation. The seven docking stations are on a 3-mile loop and within or near popular downtown destinations.   According to a China Central Television report there are currently twenty bike-sharing schemes competing in Beijing, with almost one million bikes. Zhou Zhengyu, head of the city’s transportation commission, said at an event marking Beijing’s Bicycle Day in April that the city has 700,000 shared bikes. It is as

Information Systems Support of Bike Sharing Systems

Image
Over the past years, BSS(Bike Sharing Systems) have evolved from unsupervised to fully automated systems. In the beginnings, bike sharing suffered from anonymous use that led to theft. In recent years, the implementation of information systems in bike sharing overcame theft and enabled easy and quick access supporting rentals and returns at automated stations providing one-way trips. The implementation of BSS is rapidly growing. According to Midgley (2009), about 80 systems with almost 27,000 bikes and more than 4600 stations were in operation in May 2009. About 400 BSS have been introduced in Europe during the last 10 years. Markets in America and Asia are catching up.     In order to give more details on BSS, a brief overview of bike sharing evolution  is presented. Furthermore, the automated service process enabled by information  systems is discussed. Information systems also provide a vast amount of data  reflecting the mobility behavior in BSS.

Bus tracking Technology and Thai public transportation

Image
On any given day in Bangkok, Thailand, you can find more than 20,000 buses, minibuses, and vans operating on 470 routes. In a city of 8 million people with another 14 million in the greater Bangkok Metropolitan Region, public transportation is a necessity. Unfortunately, public transportation can also be a great liability.  GPS technology in public transport not only functions as a tracking device. It is also a form of deterrent to unsafe road practices. A bus driver will take more precaution and adopt road safety measures knowing that their vehicular usage is being constantly monitored.   Zero accident in public transportation can come to reality as in the beginning of 2016, Department of Land Transport has enforced all new-registered public transportation, trailers and lorries with 10 wheels or more to install  Vehicle GPS Tracking Device  . All data is linked to Department of Land Transport’s Transport Management Center to accommodate tracking and observe driving behavior. To f

A great example of AGPS GSM tracking for cargo securities

Most companies have figured out that they need to remove the human factor from the equation as much as possible  The use of web-based monitoring and mobile communication is the impending wave of future products as most security providers are looking for better ways to protect or immobilize the truck and trailer without having to depend on the driver. Covert AGPS systems and mobile communication locking or controlling devices which can be monitored or applied remotely is where the security for the in-transit piece of the transportation industry is heading, especially for high value shipments  In the not too distant future, insurers are going to require this type of technology in return for affordable high value cargo shipment liability insurance coverage. Recently, at the company where I work, we were tracking some very high value shipments going from a Mexico origin to a Canadian destination for a large consumer product company. For this tracking application, we use an AGPS GSM track

Linking Mini GPS Trackers, Maps,and Coordinate Systems

Image
Linking Mini GPS Trackers, Maps, and Coordinate Systems Some people think that after they have a  GPS Tracking Device , they really don’t need a map, especially if the receiver has built-in mapping capabilities. This isn’t necessarily true. GPS receivers are best used in conjunction with maps, whether those maps are paper or digital. Here are some of the reasons why: Detail : Most maps on handheld GPS receivers don’t offer the detail of  full-size paper or digital maps, especially topographic maps and nautical  charts. Size : A GPS receiver’s screen is pretty darn small, and it’s just about  impossible to get the big picture that a full-size map can give you. Backup : If you have a paper map with you and know how to use it, the  map becomes an important backup if your GPS receiver’s batteries fail  or if you encounter poor satellite coverage. Gadget lovers might consider a paper map and magnetic compasses primitive, but they don’t  require batteries — and both are lightweight
