Our Project
With our project we would like to create value for the potential customers. Value is something a customer is willing to pay or wait for. We aim to create value by providing an alternative and affordable transportation service that will compete with the current transport system. We aim to gain a competitive advantage by providing a cheaper service that is aimed at reducing CO2 emissions. The success of our project will heavily rely on product recognition, customer loyalty, customer retention and customer satisfaction.
For the operation of our project, we would require a functioning app that would allow the users to access the service. We have created a prototype that would help the developers visualize our idea and bring it to live. We constructed the prototype using our knowledge in HTML and CSS. The prototype shows the basic idea in which the app should operate. The creation of the app would add additional value to our service as it is a must in a constantly evolving world of IT to provide ease of access for mobile devices as people carry out several of their daily tasks using their mobile phones.
The prototype app we are going to provide in this section of the report will demonstrate the basic idea of the final product. The app is one of the core aspects of this project as the project will be impossible to operate without it. The app focuses on registering a unique user and providing them with the information regarding the closest charging station with available e-scooters there.
The electric scooter originally came from Japan, but was invented by a German industrial design company. At the beginning of the design, it was a simple and labor-saving exercise machine. The speed of current electric scooters can usually reach more than 20km/h. Because of its moderate speed, easy to learn and easy to operate, it is very popular. We started to conduct research on electric scooters at the beginning of the project. We watched a lot of videos of electric scooters, most of which are about the structure of electric scooters.
For all vehicles, if we want to measure the impact of electric scooters on the environment, it is necessary to analyse the four main stages of its life cycle. The first two stages are the manufacturing stage of the car (then assembling the engine and other components) and the energy production stage (the degree of energy pollution that drives the car). Then there is the use phase of the vehicle (when it is driven), and then the maintenance and end-of-life phase of the vehicle (how it is maintained, recycled or destroyed when it is no longer working). At each stage, there are different environmental impacts.
