Urbee is a smart BSSs (bicycle sharing system) which targets private companies as their customers. Unlike common city BSSs that are run by municipalities, Urbee stations can be installed on the diverse environment that cannot be as sufficient and perfect as the space of common city BSSs. This project is about proposing the solution for this specific context.

A nomadic docking station, semi-permanent, architecture which can fit to different given spaces with high adaptability is proposed in this report. To meet the diverse demands of private BSS in the future, the implementation of system should be flexible. The modularized docking station provides four main types of efficient parking configurations. The amount of bikes is changeable depending on the space dimension. The non-excavating installation allows the station can be relocated easily. All these parking configurations can be constructed with the same set of station components.

The image of the next-gen Urbee docking station can be determined after the project. A lower threshold for implement Urbee system for customers, which also helps Urbee to increase the business expandability. A higher mobility and adaptability that system could be quickly adjusted, according to diverse environments and needs. The higher smartised system which provide more intuitive and easier user experience.
