RFID Smart Scooter Parking Rack｜Intelligent Shared Mobility and Parking Management Application

RFID technology is gradually becoming a key enabler in the fields of smart transportation and shared micro-mobility. Through RFID modules, cities can achieve real-time identification and monitoring of scooter and bicycle parking racks, reducing labor costs while improving overall operational efficiency.

The Challenge of Urban Shared Mobility

Micro-mobility vehicles such as electric scooters and shared bicycles have rapidly expanded across major cities worldwide. These transportation options provide citizens with new short-distance commuting choices, but without proper parking management, vehicles are often left haphazardly on sidewalks and public spaces, affecting both urban aesthetics and user experience. Therefore, developing a low-cost, scalable, and real-time parking monitoring solution has become a common concern for both city authorities and mobility operators.

Pain Point

• Traditional parking racks rely on manual inspection or mechanical locks, resulting in low efficiency and the inability to provide real-time monitoring.
• Both scooters and parking racks are typically made of metal, which can cause signal interference and reduce sensing accuracy.
• In large-scale urban deployments, maintenance and inspection require significant manpower and cost.
• A lack of parking order not only affects city appearance but also reduces user satisfaction and the overall acceptance of shared mobility systems.

RFID Application Solution: Smart Parking Management

ongee’s RFID-based parking management solution provides stable parking status monitoring without adding significant hardware costs. Using RFID technology, the system automatically identifies the parking position of each scooter and transmits the information to the management platform in real time. Administrators can quickly review the parking rack status and analyze operational data such as vehicle turnover rate and usage hotspots. This solution is designed with dustproof and high-stability features, making it suitable for diverse installation environments across modern cities.

Solution Features

• Automatic Identification：Accurately detects when a scooter is parked or removed.
• Dustproof and Waterproof Design：Ensures long-term stable operation in outdoor environments.
• High Compatibility：Supports multiple RFID protocols such as MIFARE, HF, and UHF.
• Data Integration：Connects with IoT platforms for parking hotspot analysis and turnover rate monitoring.

Results and Benefits

• Reduced Labor and Maintenance Costs: Minimizes the need for manual inspection and on-site supervision.
• Improved Parking Utilization and Efficiency: Enhances rack turnover rate and resource allocation accuracy.
• Better User Experience and Urban Order: Ensures organized parking behavior and smoother traffic flow.
• Supports Large-Scale Deployment: Enables shared mobility operators to expand and manage fleets efficiently.

Note: The above results are based on individual customer case data; actual outcomes may vary depending on implementation scenarios.
 

Extended Value

• Versatile Application: Suitable for managing parking systems for shared scooters, bicycles, and electric motorcycles.
• Smart City Integration: Seamlessly connects with intelligent transportation and urban IoT platforms.
• OEM/ODM Customization: Supports flexible design and development for various project requirements.
• Real-Time Data Analytics: Provides valuable insights for city planners and operators to optimize mobility strategies and infrastructure decisions.

Global Trend

According to a report by ResearchAndMarkets, the global shared e-scooter market is projected to exceed USD 30 billion.by 2025. Major cities across Europe, the United States, and Asia are introducing regulations that require shared mobility operators to improve parking order and fleet management.Thanks to its low power consumption, high stability,，RFID has become the preferred technology for managing last-mile mobility in urban transportation systems.
