SMART TOURISM: PEDAL BOAT RENTAL – AUTOMATED RENTAL AND TRACKING

INDUSTRY: Tourism

A customer wants to hire a pedal boat and goes to the pedal boat hire shop on the lakeshore. There, the customer scans the QR code on the pedal boat using a smartphone app, registers and enters the payment information. After successful registration and payment, the customer receives confirmation of the successful booking of the pedal boat. The customer can take the pedal boat and enjoy a trip around the lake.

During the trip, the pedal boat is continuously tracked by GPS devices that are integrated into the boat. The tracking data, including location and speed of movement, is transmitted to the central database in real time via a FUSION IoT SIM card. The pedal boat rental company can monitor and track the position of all pedal boats on a map in real time to ensure that they are in the authorized area of the lake and do not get lost.

After the customer finishes their trip, they bring the pedal boat back to the boat rental location, the QR code is scanned again to confirm the return and end the rental period. This system enables a seamless and automated experience for customers who want to rent pedal boats, while ensuring the safety and location of the boats through GPS tracking.
