Nalla

Public bike-share fails in a specific, predictable way: the docks you want are full when you arrive and empty when you leave. Nalla is a Korean bike-share app built around that problem rather than around the map.

Nalla - Predict the dock

01

Predict the dock

Every bike app shows what is there now, which is the wrong number: by the time a rider arrives it has changed. Our TensorFlow model forecasts availability minutes to hours ahead.

Nalla - The operator's screen

02

The operator's screen

The rider app is half the system. The React and Django dashboard had to answer operational questions, so we added region filtering and statistics a person can act on mid-shift.

03

Redistribution

Knowing which docks will saturate means moving bikes before the problem instead of after the complaints. The forecast is not a screen feature, it is how vans get routed.

04

Built for Korea

Shipped to both stores in Korean, for a Korean operator and Korean commuting patterns. Station density and rhythm are things you calibrate locally, not from a spec.
