Wuhan Xiaoan Technology adopts u-blox M10 high-precision GNSS positioning technology

Wuhan Xiaoan Technology uses u-blox M10 high-precision GNSS positioning technology to create the "on-board brain" of shared electric motorcycles

Xiaoan Technology's AT-MX intelligent central control system uses u-blox's latest ultra-low power M10 GNSS module to improve the positioning accuracy of shared electric motorcycles and effectively meet the high requirements of standardized urban traffic operations.

The concept of shared travel has been gradually accepted by everyone, and the upgraded version of shared bicycles, shared electric motorcycles, has become an optimized solution for saving time, effort and easy travel; it is understood that 1 billion of the approximately 3 billion trips per day in the country are made by electric motorcycles. However, shared electric motorcycles have also had problems with random parking in some cities, and urban governance agencies have begun to introduce different levels of control measures for shared electric motorcycles, which has set higher requirements for shared electric motorcycle operators.

Against this background, Wuhan Xiaoan Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xiaoan Technology"), as a leading provider of intelligent solutions for two-wheeled travel, has launched the breakthrough AT-MX intelligent central control system and battery positioning and anti-theft terminal products for shared electric motorcycles, and introduced the first set of the latest electric motorcycle standardized operation solutions in China that have passed batch testing, ensuring that the standardized operation of operating brand vehicles meets the local government's policy requirements for the shared electric motorcycle industry.

Xiaoan Technology enables intelligent two-wheel travel

Since its establishment in 2015, Xiaoan Technology has developed core business segments such as shared electric motorcycles, same-city delivery, and vehicle intelligence. It has achieved a 60% market share in the shared electric motorcycle market and has become a leader in the two-wheeled travel intelligence industry. "Responding to the country's requirements for standardized management of two-wheeled vehicles has always been our goal. As early as 2018, we proposed the concept of standardized operation. Since then, we have successively developed Bluetooth road stud standardized parking technology, 90° directional parking technology, RFID fixed-point parking technology, and camera parking technology to help the government improve regulatory difficulties. Promoting the development of two-wheeled travel towards refined operation and standardized management is also the focus of our technology expansion.

In the standardized management of shared electric motorcycles, accurately positioned vehicles can not only help users use the vehicles more conveniently, but also improve the work efficiency of vehicle operators during maintenance and deployment. In addition, through accurate vehicle usage data, shared electric motorcycle operators can achieve a balanced deployment of bicycles and operational safety in the operating area. Therefore, how to achieve efficient and safe bicycle accurate positioning function is an urgent issue for Xiaoan Technology to solve.

Working with u-blox to build the “on-board brain” for shared electric bikes

To this end, Xiaoan Technology uses u-blox's latest ultra-low power M10 GNSS positioning module to create the shared electric motorcycle AT-MX intelligent central control system and battery positioning anti-theft terminal products, and launches the first batch-tested and implementable electric motorcycle standardized operation solution in China. By integrating u-blox's low-power, high-precision GNSS positioning technology, Xiaoan's intelligent central control system can not only improve the positioning accuracy of shared electric motorcycles, but also effectively help shared electric motorcycle operators obtain vehicle location distribution and operating conditions in real time, ensure vehicle safety, and control parking behavior in real time, providing an "on-board brain" for exploring the standardized operation of shared electric motorcycles.

As u-blox's latest generation of super-power GNSS positioning technology, M10 supports receiving signals from four GNSS constellations (GPS, Beidou, GLONASS, GALILEO). The receiver using Super-S technology helps to distinguish positioning signals from background noise, easily achieve accurate positioning in challenging environments such as deep urban canyons, and can help shared electric motorcycles capture positioning data in complex urban road environments. Through accurate vehicle location information and usage data, shared electric motorcycle operators can efficiently achieve a balanced deployment of bicycles and operational safety in the operating area.

When talking about the cooperation with u-blox, Mr. Liu Yufei, COO of Xiaoan Technology, said: "As a leading supplier of positioning and wireless communication technologies and services, u-blox's product positioning performance is in a leading position in the world. In order to provide our shared electric motorcycle operators with more accurate positioning functions, we have screened most of the positioning chips on the market. The test results in different environments such as high-rise buildings, forests, and 5G base stations show that the central control equipped with u-blox positioning technology can be positioned more accurately, which has promoted our cooperation with u-blox."

Mr. Xiang Wenwu, Senior Sales Manager at u-blox, said: “We are very honored to have in-depth cooperation with Xiaoan Technology and provide u-blox's latest GNSS positioning technology for Xiaoan Technology's independently developed shared mobility solutions. In the future, we will also listen carefully to Xiaoan Technology's needs and optimize our own positioning chip technology according to its product functional goals and application scenarios. At the same time, we will provide efficient technical support and work with Xiaoan Technology to continuously improve the riding experience of electric vehicles and contribute to smart city travel.”

Finally, when talking about the future development of Xiaoan Technology, Xiaoan Technology COO Mr. Liu Yufei added: "We are not only concerned about sharing. In the future, Xiaoan Technology will pay more attention to various intelligent application scenarios of interaction between people and cars, cars and cars, cars and the ground, and people and the ground. We will continue to innovate in technology to make two-wheel travel happier and more convenient."
