Definitions


Docking station:
There is a structure at the rental stations responsible for fixing and issuing the electric bicycle. It consists of a card reader, a lock and an LED light source that indicates the current status of the bike. The dock is connected to the dispatch center via the Internet. An in-dock RFID card reader identifies registered customers. It has an electromagnetic lock, which makes the system secure, bicycles can only be removed from the dock by a registered customer.


Dock and card reader

Display:
On the first surface of the station is the card reader terminal, which uses an LED display to indicate the current status of the terminal.

Card reader


The display detects and indicates the battery charge status. If the battery is not charged to the correct level, the bike cannot be removed from the dock. When a user wants to rent a bike, their RFID card must be touched in front of the antenna signal. Authentication can take up to 5 seconds.

If users have valid access to the system, the system will indicate this with a green light and a beep, followed by a clicking sound and the lock will release the bike.

RFID card

A card for personal registration for the user, which allows bike rental. RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) is a radio frequency technology that allows you to simply touch the card to the docking terminal (in front of the antenna signal) and vehicles can be removed from the station immediately.

User
A registered user who subscribes to the Cross-Bike system via the web interface. You can do this by scanning a QR code through a mobile app. The user knows and accepts the general user agreement and can use the electric bicycle public transport system for a fee.

Surveillance camera system
To ensure the safety of the bike rental elements, the stations are equipped with a motion-sensing infrared camera. This camera sends a live image to the dispatcher center as soon as it detects movement in the station area.

Central dispatcher station
The dispatcher center is in constant computer connection with all stations and operates continuously. It records and checks the start and end dates of the rental of electric bicycles, as well as the fact that they are docked and removed from the dock. He is responsible for the proper distribution of electric bicycles in stations, and for managing the maintenance of docks and bicycles.


Logistics team
They are responsible for the even distribution of the bicycles. Real-time redistribution of bicycles between stations is important. It requires up-to-date software and permanent staff. The dispatcher center monitors the position of the bicycles and the saturation of the stations. The logistics team gets information from them about moving the bikes.

GPS tracking
Electric bikes are equipped with a real-time tracking system for safety reasons. The heartbeat function allows you to get a live view of the position of the bikes every 30 seconds. The current position of the bicycle can also be queried via SMS. It is also possible to query the status of the batteries.

Custom GeoFence
At the request of the operator, the administrative area to which and for how long the bicycles can be traveled can be designated and defined. In this designated so-called Geo-Fence, when it reaches the cyclist, the built-in GPS signals to the dispatcher center that the cyclist has reached the boundary line. The dispatcher will arrange for the user to be notified that the bicycle must be returned.
