Automated Bike Mileage Solution (ABMS)

AutoTrip （AT）为汽车司机提供即插即用的GPS/GSM集成设备，以准确记录行程，并自动计算里程。作为核心业务的补充，AT已经确定了对自动自行车里程解决方案的需求，以使骑自行车和其他两轮车辆的用户能够从与汽车司机相同的费用准确性中受益。目前，跟踪软件仅限于指定适合4轮车辆的路线，这损害了任何“越野”、2轮行驶的准确性。AT有一个自动自行车里程解决方案（ABMS）的原型设计，为两轮车辆用户提供自动和地理空间精确的里程记录。ABMS将为骑自行车的人节省大量时间，他们在很大程度上依赖手工报告，并为税务专业人士提供符合HMRC标准的报告工具。随着基于自行车的配送服务越来越受欢迎，通常要求员工使用自己的自行车，对高效且合规的报告方法的需求也在增长。ABMS还支持可持续发展和健康目标，以增加骑车的吸收，为骑车者提供可靠的报告工具，通过索赔。通过鼓励员工更多地骑自行车出行，ABMS可以减少商业车队的二氧化碳排放，并节省与汽车相关的费用。ABMS利用内部报告流程的专业知识和降低组件成本，将包括(1)为广泛的两轮车辆兼容性设计的车载GPS/GSM单元(2)用于涓流充电的谨慎发电机(3)具有全面覆盖越野路线的专有地理空间平台，以实现精确的里程；(4)用于客户访问的智能手机应用程序和用户界面。该提案的成功发展需要对商业机会和所需技术组件进行详细评估。本研究将测试我们的价值主张，并产生一个技术发展计划。

AutoTrip (AT) offers car drivers plug and play GPS/GSM integrated devices to accuratelyrecord journeys, and automate the mileage expensing process.As an adjunct to the core business, AT has identified a need for an automated bike mileagesolution to allow cyclists and other 2-wheeled vehicle users to benefit from the sameexpensing accuracy as car drivers. At present, tracking software is restricted to routesdesignated suitable for 4-wheeled vehicles, compromising the accuracy of any ‘off-road’, 2-wheeled journeys.AT has a prototype design for an Automated Bike Mileage Solution (ABMS) to provide 2-wheeled vehicle users an automated and geospatially accurate account of their mileage.ABMS will deliver significant time-savings to cyclists, who largely rely on manual reportingpractices, and a HMRC compliant reporting tool for tax professionals.As cycle-based delivery services scale in popularity, often requiring employees to use theirown bike, the need for an efficient and compliant reporting method grows. The ABMS alsosupports sustainability and health objectives to increase cycling uptake, providing a reliablereporting tool for cyclists to claim compensation through. By encouraging staff to make moreof their journeys by bike, the ABMS can reduce business fleets’ CO² emissions and save costson car associated expenses.The ABMS leverages in-house expertise of the reporting process and decreasing componentcosts and will encompass (1) an on-board GPS/GSM unit designed for wide-ranging 2-wheeled vehicle compatibility (2) a discreet dynamo for trickle charge purposes (3) aproprietary geospatial platform with comprehensive coverage of off-road routes for accuratemileage and (4) a smart phone app and user interface for client access.Successful development of the proposition requires a detailed assessment of the commercialopportunity and technical components required. This study will test our value proposition andproduce a technology development plan.
