Making cities safer and cleaner using micro-mobility and machine learning

微型移动性(电动自行车和滑板车)的使用一直在显著增长，**预计到2030年市场规模将达到5000亿美元**(麦肯锡2021年)。电动自行车和滑板车的使用，无论是共享的还是私人的，已经开始成为城市交通网络的重要组成部分，从2019年到2021年，出行里程连续每年翻一番。**微移动性将是减少交通量并在2030年前实现净零的关键**。微移动性的增长并不是没有挑战--特别是**安全和停车合规性**。最初的几次试验导致街道混乱，道路堵塞，这反过来又导致**对使用和停车位要求的**取缔。**居民和企业感到不满。尤其是视障人士和盲人，**慈善机构呼吁终止微型移动计划**(《卫报》2022/27/04)。**供应商和地方当局仍在努力激励和监管停车。**我们知道我们可以做得更好。Capture和Unitary希望通过为供应商、客户和地方当局提供**人工智能技术来清理街道，让微移动为每个人服务。**通过构建**安全验证算法**，根据用户骑车后拍摄的图像自动检查车辆停放的位置，我们将帮助提高停车合规性，**让街道更安全，并帮助减少摩擦。**最终，这将大大促进微移动的普及，并最终**减少城市地区的汽车使用和排放。**

The use of micro-mobility (e-bikes and scooters) has been growing significantly with a **projected market size of $500bn by 2030** (McKinsey 2021). The use of e-bikes and scooters, both shared and private, are already beginning to form a significant part of the urban transport network, with journeys doubling each consecutive year from 2019 to 2021\. **micro-mobility will be key to reducing traffic and achieving Net Zero by 2030**.This growth in micro-mobility has not been without its challenges - in particular, **safety and parking compliance**. Several initial trials led to streets being cluttered and thoroughfares obstructed which in turn led to **clamp-downs on use and parking bay requirements being mandated.** Residents and businesses are unhappy. Visually impaired and blind people in particular have suffered with **charities calling for micro-mobility schemes to be terminated** (The Guardian 27/04/2022).**Suppliers and local authorities still struggle to incentivise and police parking.** We know that we can do better. Captur and Unitary want to make micro-mobility work for everyone by providing suppliers, customers and local authorities with **AI-enabled technology to de-clutter the streets.** By building **safety verification algorithms** to automatically check the context of where vehicles are parked based on images taken by users post-ride, we will help to improve parking compliance, **make streets safer and help reduce friction.** Ultimately, this will contribute considerably to micro-mobility uptake and eventually **reduce car use and emissions in urban areas.**
