Project Proposal Report (2nd draft)

An existing solution implemented by SG Bike to control “indiscriminate parking” is the use of Geostations. According to SG Bike (n.d.), this system utilizes a yellow box which will be drawn out as the virtual docking station. They stated that a small device will be located near the yellow box emitting a fixed range of signal that communicates  with the bikes. This system ensures that bikes are parked within the yellow box as not doing so will result in five continuous beeps from the bikes. Users will then be notified through mobile phone reminding them to park within the yellow box. SG Bike mentioned that the users must re-park the bicycle correctly within fifteen minutes to avoid the fine of a dollar that will be deducted from the user’s E-Wallet account. They also added that repeated offenders may face an increase in the penalty charges.
