Beyond First/Last Mile Active Transportation - BikeShare@UH

Bike sharing is a new green transportation solution that has been developed and adopted at various cities around the world. In this paper, we present the process and results of the design and prototypes that a group of undergraduate students developed for a BikeShare@UH program during Summer 2017. After presenting the detailed results of four project teams focusing on customer discovery, bike share station (BSS) location identification, cloud-based mobile computing platform for user engagement and bike share program operation and management, smart lock, and alternative energy source based on PV panel. With the phase one implementation at the University planned in Spring 2018, we anticipate gathering real time data and feedback to improve the system.Cockrell School of Engineerin

SETS Smart Lock - Bicycle Hardware

The hardware team is tasked with creating a smart bicycle lock to be used with the bicycle share system. The main purpose of this group is to integrate a physical interface and security system into the bicycles. The system will be integrated with the mobile app system to be used for selecting and reserving a bicycle. Also the system will use low power consumption for incorporation of solar panel battery system.Engineering Technology, Department ofHonors Colleg

SETS Student Discovery and Analysis Regarding Bicycle Sharing Stations at UH Campus

"Bicycle Share @ UH" focuses on creating and testing innovative and integrated system and process that will enable access to transmit and improve transit mobility on an unique urban campus. Customer Discover And Data Trend Analyitics; Subgroups of a Bigger Group System. - 70% of the residents in the area have poor access to the public transit - Houston is the 4th-largest city in the USA > projected to grow from 7 mission in 2015 to 10 mission in 2040 - STATED BY STUDENTS - transportation is an issue on our campus > Parking > Time issues > Walking to classes from accross campus - SURVEY PLATFORM - Google forms - 3 Iterations - DURATION OF SURVEY: August 1st - August 10th - FOUR TYPE OF SURVEY QUESTIONS 1. Basic Data 2. Desire to Utilize the Bicycle Share 3. Location Preference 4. Payment PreferenceEngineering Technology, Department ofHonors Colleg
