E-scooter tracking
The SLAM challenge
Pressure on city infrastructure, traffic jams and green movements has led to a meteoric rise in micromobility. While this has made it easier for people to commute, it has also introduced new challenges for cities and the operators of such services alike: sidewalks are crowded with scooters, riders drive recklessly and e-scooters get lost in garages without GPS. Hence, the industry is in need of solutions to ensure safe usage within local regulations. Tracking and monitoring the position -thereby driving behaviour & location- is key, though GPS does not provide the required fidelity, especially in urban environments.
How ArtiSLAM can be applied
ArtiSLAM's visual inertial odometry (VIO) can be combined with map-based relocalization and additionally fused with GNSS to provide cm-level positioning accuracy in global coordinates, keeping eyes on each scooter's location. This allows our clients to ensure that they're traceable even in GNSS-denied environments and that they are only driven and parked where allowed.
How Clients Benefit
- Greater control & management: Being able to capture sub-meter accuracy of the scooter's whereabouts allows clients to have more information to enable better control over the fleet.
- Flexible hardware setup: Clients have the option to choose which functions should be on ArtiSLAM Embedded and ArtiSLAM Cloud depending on hardware requirements.
- Deeper insights: Clients have access to another layer of data that wasn't accessible before which can be used for further business cases, and is also of value to the cities in which they operate.
