Road cat eye studs are usually applied in dangerous area to guide driver’s direction and outline the road, such as steep slope, sharp bend, traffic crossing and extreme weather. It can also be mounted on streets, gardens, parks even Christmas tree for decoration. What’s more incredible, it were used on flock of pastures to prevent wolves’ attack and help to count numbers. It is equipped with long lasting LED and runs for many years without maintenance.
Here, a new usage of road cat eye stud will be introduced. Bluetooth road cat eye studs are installed on road surface to regular the sharing- bicycle parking!
Since all kinds of sharing-bicycle have been stationed in China, they meet the needs of citizens for the “last kilometer”, at the same time that cause problems such as disorderly parking.
The disorder parking and shortage of management should be solved. After consulting with Lanzhou City Management Committee, OFO, Mobike and Helloglobal company are trying to use new technologies such as Bluetooth road cat eye studs and electronic fence. With the introduction of these new traffic safety facilities, citizens will not be able to lock sharing-bicycles if they do not park them as required.
At present, Mobike company sets up 60 Bluetooth cat eye road studs near the provincial government, Baian shopping mall and Saibo Digital Plaza, officially starting the preliminary pilot work. In the designated shared bicycle parking area, each Bluetooth cat eye road stud is installed every 2 meters. Bluetooth cat eye road stud is an orange square with palm size and built-in Bluetooth chip, which is directly installed on the ground.
I have to say, from traffic safety devices to regulation facilities,
the new usage of road cat eye studs really inspire us a brand new thinking mode.
