  • Patent number: 11862019
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for systems associated with lightweight docking stations for one or more micromobility transit vehicles. The docking station may include multiple racks. Each rack may include a base frame having frame segments, an anchor coupled to and extending vertically from at least one of the frame segments of the base frame, and a lock plate coupled to the anchor and including a lock hole. The lock hole is disposed through the lock plate and is capable of receiving a locking device associated with a micromobility transit vehicle so as to permit locking of the micromobility transit vehicle to the anchor.

  • Publication number: 20210343147
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods associated with lightweight docking stations for one or more micromobility transit vehicles. The docking station may include one or more racks configured to dock micromobility transit vehicles, a lock hole in a rack plate of the one or more racks, and a base. The lock hole may be configured to align with a respective locking device of each of the one or more micromobility transit vehicles. The base may be configured to elevate the one or more micromobility transit vehicles to align the respective locking device with the lock hole. A method may include identifying at least one rack from the one or more racks is available for docking the one or more micromobility transit vehicles and communicating with a mobile computing device to display an indication of the at least one rack available for docking the one or more micromobility transit vehicles.

  • Publication number: 20200400444
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include determining that one or more personal mobility vehicles would provide more benefit to the dynamic transportation network if the personal mobility vehicles were relocated and creating a dynamically generated tour for at least one user that ends with a personal mobility vehicle deposited by the requestor at a more beneficial location. In some embodiments, the dynamically generated tour may include one or more geographic points of interest that are expected to be relevant to the user. In some examples, the dynamically generated tour may be generated with various constraints such as time, distance, and battery usage. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
