E-scooters will use real-time footpath detection, audio alerts and other technology to crack down on illegal footpath and tandem riding in the Australian city.
Cormac Quinn of Neuron Mobility explains how shared e-scooters are providing financial benefits to cities in turbulent times as well as helping to lower their carbon footprint.
E-scooter enhancements include high accuracy location technology and rapid geofence detection which, along with smart sensors, facilitate the company’s proprietary Dangerous Riding Detection system.
Lime and Neuron Mobility e-scooters will be rolled out across the cities of Melbourne, Yarra and Port Phillip for one year which could be extended pending the outcome of the trial.
City anticipates the electric scooters and other modes of micromobility will increase the diversity of transport options in the Tasmanian capital, creating more choice for residents, commuters, and visitors.
Neuron’s modular vehicle could serve as a mini-bus, transit bus or an articulated bus and is part of the company’s vision to use vehicle technology to help build smart cities.
