Convenient Transportation
Minimize the challenges of urban commuting by providing a convenient and accessible bicycle sharing system within university campuses and key locations across Sri Lankan cities.
User-Centric Design
Design the system with a focus on user experience, ensuring intuitive navigation, clear instructions, and seamless bike checkout and return processes.
Income Generation
Empower students to earn income by joining their own bicycles to the PeraRide system, contributing to the expansion of the bike fleet and fostering community participation.
Time Efficiency
Optimize commuting time by strategically placing bike stations at key locations within university campuses and urban centers, reducing the time spent on waiting or traveling to access bicycles.
Safety Measures
Implement safety features such as well-maintained bicycles and user education programs to ensure the well-being of riders and promote a safe cycling environment.
Cost-Effectiveness
Offer affordable subscription plans and pricing models to make bicycle sharing accessible to students and residents from diverse socio-economic backgrounds, promoting sustainable and budget-friendly transportation options.
Pera Ride Process
Users begin by creating a bank account and selecting a subscription method. Upon registration within the app, they can scan the QR code at the designated station. The app verifies the bank account balance, and if there are sufficient funds, the user can unlock the bicycle. After the ride, the user can park the bicycle at the nearest station.
Integrate the PeraRide System
The solution includes a GUI environment that integrates all the necessary tools for managing user accounts, subscriptions, QR code scanning, and bicycle unlocking within a single application.
Automate the Workflow
The software automates the process of checking bank account balances, verifying subscription status, and unlocking bicycles, streamlining the user experience and reducing manual intervention.
Provide User Guidance
The PeraRide system provides clear instructions to users at each step of the process, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience from registration to bicycle return.
