Escooters

This project proposes a transformative approach to shared scooter fleet management through the design and implementation of an Autonomous Scooter Collection Vehicle (ACV)

The Autonomous Scooter Collection Vehicle (ACV)—a compact, self-driving vehicle specifically engineered to revolutionize how shared mobility fleets are maintained and distributed. Rather than reactive, labor-dependent collection, this system introduces proactive, data-driven fleet optimization that continuously adapts to real-time urban mobility patterns.

Current problem

The Escooter industry faces a fundamental paradox: while demand for micro-mobility solutions continues to grow, the operational model remains economically unsustainable and logistically inefficient.

Current systems rely heavily on human labor—"juicers" and "chargers"—who manually collect, charge, and redistribute scooters throughout cities during nighttime hours. This labor-intensive approach consumes 30-40% of operational revenue, with major operators like Lime and Bird spending between $3-8 per scooter per collection cycle in labor costs.

Pain Points
1. Morning scooter shortages in residential neighborhood
2. Can't predict availability
3. Safety concerns riding in bike lanes with aggressive drivers, but sidewalk riding is illegal

product design

The foldable e-scooter design maximize collection vehicle capacity. The scooter features a streamlined folding mechanism where the handlebar stem collapses horizontally toward the deck, reducing the vertical profile. By designing scooters specifically for efficient transport and storage rather than just ridership.

foldable portable adjustable

The folding hinge is where the vertical stem meets the front wheel assembly. Designed to be strong enough to handle daily riding stress while remaining simple enough for quick fold and lock

The compact horizontal configuration allows the Autonomous Collection Vehicle (ACV) to stack and transport significantly more units per trip

The stem features an orange LED headlight and integrated control display positioned on top for easy-glance map navigation and ride information

AUTONOMOUS COLLECTION VEHICLE

The autonomous E-scooter collection van operates as a mobile charging station, continuously collecting, charging, and redistributing scooters based on predictive demand algorithms and real-time fleet data.This space optimization directly translates to improved operational efficiency: fewer collection cycles, reduced energy consumption per scooter collected, and faster redistribution across the city.
