"You empower cities [...] to regulate when needed, automatically, and to make sure that the utilisation of city space is balanced.", Torgeir Andrew Waterhouse summarise our service.
The required number of e-scooters in a city can vary, depending on the time of day and the area of the city. For instance, there may be too many e-scooters in one part of the city, while there are none in another. To manage the glut of scooters in the city, some cities decide to reduce the total number of e-scooters. Logically, this limit on the total number of e-scooters results in fewer scooters throughout the city, but would not affect the distribution and utility of e-scooters. Fewer scooters may continue to flood a single location, while the situation of insufficient e-scooter supply in the outskirts of the city would not change.
To achieve better mobility, it is important to regulate the number of scooters depending on the real-time situation in each zone. In this way, the scooters can be allocated and used where they are actually needed at the time. This can provide a real advantage for urban mobility, complementing existing public transport in a user-friendly, clean and safe way.
The Nivel Regulator support this approach and pushes the information in a 2-way data exchange between the cities and the shared mobility operators.
