In 2017, with the emergence of the bicycle sharing mode, the traditional travel field was instantly overturned. However, while it brings convenience to people's life, it also causes some disadvantages. When there is a lack of management of "stop and release as needed", it becomes a disorderly stop and release, which not only brings a lot of inconvenience to others, but also brings great troubles to city managers and bicycle-sharing operators. In order to further improve the parking order of shared bicycles, Bluetooth electronic fence technology has become a feasible solution. Bluetooth electronic fence technology is based on Bluetooth's positioning, broadcasting and transmission functions to realize vehicle entry management and vehicle on-site statistics.

What Is Bluetooth Electronic Fence?

Three Implementation of Electronic Fence

The first and second technologies rely on satellite positioning technology and Bluetooth device on the bike lock respectively, which is relatively hidden visually. The third type of installation and deployment is extremely convenient, which is convenient for mass and rapid promotion and deployment. At the same time, the Bluetooth electronic fence can also collect the number of bicycles parked in the area near the fence, and open the platform data to the management department and the bicycle sharing operation enterprise in a targeted manner, realizing the total balance and scheduling control through data sharing. At present, all shared bicycles supporting Bluetooth module can be connected with fence technology. Major shared bicycle brands such as Meituan, Harrow, cyan and Didi, which are common in the market, can all park their bikes in the public electronic fence area.

Trends of Electronic Fence

As for how to manage the random parking of shared bicycles, the government vigorously promotes the electronic fence of Bluetooth route. At present, the electronic fence based on pure GPS positioning is common in the market, but its accuracy and stability are not as high as that of Bluetooth scheme. The positioning accuracy of GPS cannot guarantee that vehicles fall into the electronic fence accurately, so the electronic fence system based on Bluetooth with higher accuracy will occupy a dominant position in the future.

Bluetooth electronic fence will turn shared bicycles into "public bicycles with piles without piles", which can meet the needs of various shared bicycle enterprises technically, and is convenient for the government to implement quantity management and enterprise regulation. The parking lot has good applicability and improves user experience.

As a well-known Bluetooth module manufacturer in China, Shenzhen RF-star Technology Co., Ltd.(RF-star), has empowered a large number of manufaturers over the globe for the smart parking solutions with its advanced Beacon positioning technology, helping to relieve the pressure of urban parking and assisting the construction of smart cities. Beacon products such as AR1, AR4, and Bluetooth modules with Beacon function RF-BM-4044B4, RF-BM-BG22A1, RF-BM-BG22A3 are all worthy of attention.
