Strengthening Geofencing Safety Measures for the Holiday Season

This December, as the bustling holiday season unfolds, Lime, a leading provider of electric mobility sharing services, is reinforcing its safety measures through the enhanced use of geofencing technology in Shibuya and Yokohama. With the anticipated surge in foot traffic due to popular events like the "Shibuya Christmas Market 2025" and the "Yorunoyo 2025" illumination event, ensuring the safety of pedestrians and mobility users is of paramount importance.

The Importance of Safety During the Holiday Season

December is a peak month for large-scale events, such as Christmas markets and illuminations. The streets become particularly crowded, increasing the risk of accidents as pedestrians and mobility devices converge. Recognizing this, Lime is optimizing its geofencing strategies to manage and restrict vehicle movement effectively, thereby enhancing public safety.

In the vibrant district of Shibuya, particularly during the holiday season, Lime will control vehicle access to the vicinity of the Shibuya Christmas Market by establishing no-go zones. Additionally, the event committee will feature Lime port locations on their event map, guiding attendees seamlessly and safely through the area.

Shibuya Christmas Market 2025 Initiatives

Held across three venues within Shibuya City, including Miyashita Park, Kitaya Park, and Yoyogi Park BE STAGE, the Shibuya Christmas Market 2025 will feature designated no-ride zones to prioritize pedestrian safety. This event is a fantastic opportunity for the community to engage with the festive spirit while promoting a safe environment for all participants.

Expanding Geofencing and Operational Achievements

Lime’s approach to optimizing geofencing builds on its established domestic strategies. Having already implemented significant geofencing measures, including preventive actions against unauthorized access to highways, Lime continues to expand its coverage, currently reaching 14 zones prone to critical access mistakes. Under this system, if a Lime vehicle enters a designated zone, automatic control measures are activated, ensuring safety without user intervention.

Conclusion

Through these initiatives, Lime is committed to fostering a safe and enjoyable environment for all attendees during this festive period. With the integration of cutting-edge technology and community communication, Lime is enhancing urban mobility experiences. Enjoy the holiday season with the peace of mind that your safety is a priority.
