Objectives.
Bee Mobile aims to provide convenient rental transportation solutions by offering rental options for electric cars, scooters, bikes, and golf carts.
Users can easily rent these vehicles for a specific duration and return them to designated stations once their rides are done. The app also provides different parking stations to customers where they can pick up a vehicle for renting/riding and park it back when rides are completed. It also has charging stations where users can charge their e-vehicles. For rider’s ease, it also offers a variety of subscription plans to users. Thus making it a convenient way to get around town!

Briefing.
Project Requirements.
1
Cross Platform App
To develop a highly functional Android and iOS-based application to precisely meet the demands of this application. This encompassed a comprehensive development process involving the creation of robust features. It also has a web-based admin dashboard.
2
Responsive UI/UX
Bee Mobile's design is responsive across all devices and is designed by considering the best user experience. This tailored approach aims to create a seamless and engaging user experience, capturing the app's vision for a standout product in the competitive market.
3
Hardware Integration
- This app communicates with the IOT-based e-vehicles and shows the real-time status of vehicles and rides.
- The app tracks the real-time location of the e-vehicles even if the vehicles are out of charge.
- The users can also view the current charging status of their e-vehicle through the app.
Targets.
To provide convenient transportation solutions by offering rental options for electric cars, scooters, bikes
Reserve Vehicles
The app offers vehicle rental stations for customers to pick up and park once the ride ends. Users can book a vehicle or book a charging port to charge their vehicle.
Reserve Charging Station
It has a charging infrastructure, allowing customers to reserve their spot and charge the vehicles.
Ride Vehicle
To ride, users can unlock the vehicles by scanning the QR code. The app allows the user to pause and resume during the ride. Users can end the ride by parking at the parking station.
Location Tracking
Real-time location tracking is another feature that displays nearby assets (systems, stations, and vehicles) on a map.
Subscription Plans
Different subscription plans include Pay-As-You-Go, Daily, Weekly, and Monthly.
Secure Payment
We have integrated Stripe as a payment gateway that provides the safest payment options. We also added payment refund options.
Problems & Solutions.
1
Problem
Hardware Issues
At first, the hardware required for the project was unavailable as it was imported from abroad, causing delays in its development. Once the hardware was received, it was malfunctioning as some components were damaged. The issue persisted. Unfortunately, it could not be fixed locally. Additionally, the device frequently runs out of charge, and the issue continues due to different time zones
Solution
Hardware Simulator
To resolve the hardware issue, we created a simulator of hardware, a Python-based program designed to emulate the behavior of a real IoT-based scooter. The primary objective of this simulation is to ensure the uninterrupted usage of vehicles without requiring charging while maintaining their physical appearance. This program helped to replicate real-world scenarios and interactions with the IoT-based scooters, facilitating testing and development in a controlled environment.
2
Problem
Third-Party Dependency
The development of charging stations is contingent on a third-party dependency. While the designs for the charging station are complete and ready, the project has been put on hold due to the unavailability of the desired API from a third-party source. Unfortunately, this third-party source has not made their API available to us, which has forced us to put the entire project on hold until we can access the necessary API to move forward.
Solution
Mock APIs
Mock APIs and e-scooters were used to address hardware limitations. This saved costs and improved testing and development processes. Software functionalities were thoroughly assessed and refined before integration with real hardware. E-scooters recreated realistic scenarios, providing valuable insights and resolving hardware-related challenges. This comprehensive approach contributed significantly to the overall success of our project, ensuring that our software and hardware components worked seamlessly together to achieve our goals.

Problem
Safety Concerns
Users may have concerns about the safety of electric vehicles and personal security during rides. Users may have fears regarding the reliability and security of the transportation service, which can hinder their willingness to embrace electric vehicles as a viable mode of transportation. This challenge necessitates the development of comprehensive strategies and solutions that instill confidence in users and effectively address their safety and security concerns.
Solution
Safety Features
Integrated safety features include emergency buttons, real-time GPS tracking, and 24/7 customer support. Implement stringent background checks for drivers and educate users about safety protocols. By providing clear and accessible information to passengers about how to use the service safely and what to do in various situations, users are empowered to make informed choices and feel more confident about their safety while using the transportation service.
